Stop and say hi to Mario the Magnificent: the statue of the university’s dragon mascot is located at 33rd and Market Streets, and is a popular stop for photos.

In addition to its primary University City campus, Drexel also operates two other facilities in Center City Philadelphia, two suburban facilities, and the standalone Academy of Natural Sciences.

The Drexel Dragons comprise 18 different university teams across nine different sports, including basketball. Fans can purchase tickets to watch the games.

To explore Drexel, access the self-led campus walking tour listed on its website; the tour takes about 30 minutes. Guided tours are also offered for prospective students.
