Miller agreed that the Super Tuesday results were "huge for the Pennsylvania primary."
"Pennsylvania represents 40 percent of the rest of the delegates, which will make it important," he added.
The Drexel Democrats said they are confident that Clinton and Obama will make appearances in Philadelphia and are working to possibly bring the candidates to Drexel.
Organizers of the watch party are hoping to create an event for the Pennsylvania primary as well. Students agreed that the events help to promote political knowledge amongst fellow students.
"I always follow politics and I feel like my peers don't. It's nice to see people that do. It gives me more faith in the power of our age group to influence the vote," Quinn Kostman, a pre-junior Nursing major said.
At the watch party, questions were also raised as to which primary non-Pennsylvanian voters should participate in.
"I'm from New York, but I'm also registered in Philadelphia," he added.
"What holds me back is a lot of things to do, including the registering process," Chris Blair, a senior computer science major, said.
"I think pamphlets, signs or flyers that include the steps through the [registration] process of where you're supposed to vote would be helpful."
MTV, NBC and KYW were also represented at the event and representatives from the networks interviewed student pundits and organizers.
