DePaul University Top Questions

Its a friendly upbeat environment...makes you happy....being in business school it feel like im succeeding. Its a great place i love it

I love the fact that it is located in the heart of Chicago. While not so much in line with the stereotypical view of college life, I love living in a big city where something is always going on and drinking is not a requirement to have fun.

It has it all, artsy kids, hipsters, punks, hippys, preppies, all different races, creeds, and orientations. It's liberal, but progressive always trying to create new and interesting clubs, activities and programs for its students. There is tons of opportunity but you have to take advantage of it. It's diverse and interesting all the time.

DePaul is the most diverse school in the country. You can meet so many people of different ethnicity and people from all over the world come to the university to study.

DePaul University combines the traditional feel of the college campus with the city atmosphere of Chicago. DePaul has two main campuses: The Loop campus is located in the heart of Chicago's buisness quarter and the Lincoln Park campus located in a residential neighborhood of the city. To me, this diversity in the campus lets me experience two distinct college experiences in one. As someone who was unsure of whether I would prefer a suburban campus or a more urban campan.

It has a college campus feel even though it is located in the city

It is located in Lincoln Park in Chicago, which is a perfect balance to being in the city and being in a safe neighborhood. It is the largest private catholic instititution, and I made the cheerleading squad.

It is located in an urban area which allows the school to network with big companies in the heart of the city (Chicago) and in turn helps students get good jobs according to their field quickly. There are two campuses one in downtown Chicago and one in Licoln Park which is a 15 minute train ride between the two campuses. The enviornment is very social and fun, but also very liberal and sometimes that can push away the students who are maybe moderate or conservative on the political spectrum.

It's not you're typical college experience, but if you accept it for what it is, and embrace that... you'll have a great time.

Fuck DePaul, I hate this fucking bullshit excuse for an institution - they'll make you think you have a great rep because of the business school, know these three things: 1 - it's not very selective at all, and will take in anything weird to appear "diverse" 2 - the jobholders are all in freakin' retail banking or accountants making not more than 40-60k a year, and the entrepreneurs (so-called) are either at a loss for more than 1 idea or simply have ideas with no idea about Why they would never, ever, Ever work. 3 - they'll make it sound like a great place to study, live,and be... it's not: you barely study so you're retarded and wasting a shitload of money (also 'cause there are no facilities), you can't do Shit in Lincoln Park without walking at least 4 blocks which SUCKS dick in the winter, and well - nobody's really going to hire you 'cause everyone knows how much you really Don't learn. If you're emotionally attached to the place before reading this, detach yourself and find somewhere better to go - somewhere you'll really grow, and not just be some college student fuck-up.
