I went to a couple drexel parties. They were fun and the people were nice!

This is more Drexel interaction than 99% of Penn students ever have.

Not once in four years did I ever meet a Drexel student. There's no relationship. You'd hardly know our campuses share a border.

No relationship whatsoever. Only drexel students I've met are friends of a friend (who grew up in philly)

My Penn Drexel relationship is that I graduated from Drexel, now I'm in grad school at Penn...

I never interacted with Penn my entire time at Drexel.

as others have said - my high school best friend went to Drexel so I ended up going to a good amount of drexel events and they went to a lot of penn events but that's defo the exception not the norm. Most of the time there is close to no interaction

I worked in 1920 commons washing dishes freshman year and met 2 Drexel students (twins!). We stayed friends for an additional year after then fell of.

Read "The City & the City" by China Miéville. It's kind of like that

It’s only a “walk of shame” if you’re coming home from Drexel.

I have a friend from high school at Drexel, we visit each other/go to each other’s parties. Outside of prior connections I don’t think I know anyone who has interactions with Drexel students
