My son attended Drexel and received an orientation similar to this. I believe it has less to do with the neighborhood and more to do with the realization that kids are attending from all over the country and the world and come from a variety of backgrounds. Many are naive about personal safety. I think every student should have an orientation like this whether they are attending a rural or city school.

Philadelphia is a fantastic city to spend your student years in. There is so much to do and it’s very easy to get around the city. My daughter is attending school in West Philadelphia, another not so great neighborhood, and she’s loving it.

Another question. So both my friend and I want to take our cars there to Philly for both use and a good road trip. What states will be the best to drive through to get to Philly?

That’s going to depend on how much time you have, how well you tolerate the heat and humidity, and what you want to see. If you google map it, you’ll probably get three routes as a result: a southern one, a middle of the country route, and a route that takes you more north. I’m driving across the country from Arizona to Philadelphia in mid August and have decided to go up through Utah and into Colorado because I want to see that part of the country, plus I’m hoping it’s cooler.

Time is not a factor as long as it is not more than a 7-9 days and temperature and climate does not differ for me. I am mainly looking for cool things to see and I am thinking either the middle/North route would have more of that. But what are some key states to stop through?

Are Brothels safe/affordable in Munich/ parts of amsterdam? How does the process work?

yeah i understand that part, Duh. I phrased my question wrong i mean to infer as to what per cautions to take or advice for these places as not to be in a tourist trap?
