DVD Rentals

Movies are a great way of chilling out over weekends. You could either curl up on the couch and watch it on the laptop or make it a movie night with a few close friends. Whichever way you choose to watch it there are plenty of resources to watching movies.

1. The Drexel and Penn libraries have a huge DVD collection. Drexel has DVDs of English and Hindi language films while Penn has several other regional languages as well.

2. Drexel has got a lot of DVD rental boxes located in the campus. You can rent DVDs for a dollar.

3. Netflix is another great way of catching up on the most recently released films. It is reasonable and if you’re a movie buff then it’s a very good deal.
