DePaul University Top Questions

it commitment to service and the vincetian community.

DePaul is unique from any other school I applied to because it truly utilizes the City of Chicago as a part of your learning. So much of what you will learn and come to undertand while at DePaul doesn't come from attending classes, but from the experinece of living in such a wildy large and diverse place.

DePaul's empasis on being ready for a job before graduating is what makes it a unique school. When you're a junior, its a graduation requirement to take an internship. From what I'm told, a lot of students get jobs right after graduating from the job they had an intership at.

This school has a great music school, an exclusive theatre school, and an excellent Liberal Arts Program. So many great programs at one school is rare, I think. So, if you're like me, and have no idea about what you want to do, then come here, and experiment away! The faculty overall is great, I find.

I go to the largest Catholic University in Amerca, but as someone who is not necessarily religious in the sense that I am devout Roman Catholic, I have never once felt threatened about my own beliefs by going to such a university. DePaul University prides itself on being religious, but allowing each student to find themselves in a way that let's them explore new religious and new horizons; that can be done by simply exploring Chicago. DePaul also has one of the few film programs I have been impressed with; both because of the faculty skillset and future opportunities.

De Paul University is a fun school in the great city of Chicago.

Don't go here. The administrators will lie, cheat, and steal. This a private school that only cares about making money. Watch out for Susan Reed she is part of the exception commitee. Her goal is to get you to retake classes so the school can make more money. She will use unheard of rules to give you an F. Stay away. This school is run by rats and snakes. Eitherway, you will get bitten.

While the school may be large the classes are small but the thing that separates DePaul from every other school I applied to is the city of Chicago and its values. The school values service to the community and treats each student as someone who deserves opportunities and time. It also teaches each student to give to others what they can and that together we can help others and give them a better life. With its values and location in the city it offers opportunities to learn in places and go places that you couldn’t experience anywhere else.

Any one who loves big city life would have a great time attending DePaul.

The most notable characteristic of DePaul that I have not witnessed with any other university is the calm but driven will of the students. As a major university in Chicago, it would be assumed that the work load and environment would be stressful. This is not the case at DePaul University for students and staff work together as we, the students, complete our journey.

It is located in the heart of Chicago which makes it unique because students have the opportunity to interact with a diverse population.

DePaul's Career Center is a department devoted to helping students find internships and jobs. The Career Center has a very strong prescence on campus, and are devoted to reaching all DePaul Students to help them get a head through internships and financial workshops. DePaul also features an Entrepreneurship Center which focuses on Students that are building small business. They have an annual entrepreneurship competition for all DePaul Students, which encourages students from the different colleges to collaborate and plan.

Our schools is unique because of the campus's circular design as well as having many regional campuses. Plus, on the weekend, the main campus is at most 30 minutes away from theme parks!

What DePaul offers is rare: an exceptional education integrated with a world-class city environment. DePaul enables students to receive a ?real world? understanding while gaining a strong liberal arts background. Walking around campus, one can just feel that unmistakable energy and character of the institution. DePaul graduates have immediate access to a wealth of opportunities that the city college provides. Internships, job experience and community service, as well as familiarity with the diverse and interesting people of the city give DePaul students an edge.

DePaul University has an excellent program for adult learners over 24 years old which allows one to obtain and transfer credit(s) based on life experiences, prior college credits received and independent learning pursuits.

No other schools really compared. I wanted to be in the busy city and have that lifestyle. Depaul is by far the most exciting city to be in in Chicago.

I currently attend San Francisco State University. The budget cuts are creating a huge problem for my education since I cannot get classes I need. Also, the school is more of a commuter school and does not have an active campus environment. I feel that DePaul University will give me the campus environment I want and most of all, benefit my education with available classes for my general education and my major.

Most schools are known as "party" schools, whereas my school is more focused on giving back to the community through volunteerism, which is the Vincentian mission.

Being right in Chicago, there are many opportunites to get real experience while attending DePaul. Students are encouraged to seek out professinal opportunities that will advance them in their studies, and it is pretty easy to do this due to campus being in a major city. The other schools I looked at also encouraged their students to seek real life experience, but being so far from major cities, it would be difficult to do so at those schools.

DePaul prides itself on diversity and charity. The Princeston Review rated it the most diverse campus in the U.S. in 2007, and the social makeup varies much more than when I grew up in elementry/high school. As the largest Catholic institution in the United States, DePaul supports the beliefs of its namesake, St. Vincent DePaul, who faught for the inherent equality of all men and women. Also, being an urban institution, DePaul allows students to easilly travel to Chicago and offers a rich cultural education for students willing to discover it on their own.
