University city is sketchy? I don't personally feel that way at all. It's basically on drexel's campus, and all those schools have their own security patrols and those phone boxes with the blue lights are set up so you can call for help of you need them. I went to school at drexel, went to world Cafe live many times at night, never had any sort of issue. I guess maybe they think "west philly" and associate with neighborhoods that are much further west.

Do you mean UPenn? It’s directly across from their fields and next to their research labs

r/technicallythetruth

Penn's campus is large, and this is on the edge of it. Drexel's campus is smaller, and Drexel's main administration building is in the southeast corner of campus. So if you draw a dot on the map to mark the core of each campus, you'd draw the Drexel dot closer to WCL than the Penn dot. But if you drew boundaries around each campus, WCL would be inside the Penn boundaries and not inside the Drexel boundaries. Penn's Translational Research Laboratory is north of WCL, between it and Drexel.

Also, WXPN is Penn's radio station (or one of them). Drexel's station, WKDU, is a couple blocks to the west, and still run by students.
