===Housing===
[[File:North Hall.JPG|thumb|North Hall by architect [[Michael Graves]]]]
Drexel requires all non-commuting first- and second-year students to live in one of its ten residence halls or in "university approved housing".<ref>{{cite web

| title = Drexel University Housing Policies
}}</ref>

Second-year students have the option of living in a residence hall designated for upperclassmen, or "university approved housing". The residence halls for upperclassmen are North and Caneris Halls. North Hall operates under the For Students By Students Residential Experience Engagement Model, developed by the Residential Living Office. There are many apartments that are university approved that second-year students can choose to live in. Three of the largest apartment buildings that fit this description are Chestnut Square, University Crossings, and The Summit, all owned by [[American Campus Communities]]. Many other students live in smaller apartment buildings or individual townhouse-style apartments in [[Powelton Village, Philadelphia|Powelton Village]]. A second-year student can choose one of the already listed university approved housing options or petition the university to add a new property to the approved list.<ref>{{cite web
