I got my undergraduate degree from Middlebury College in Vermont though I'm now at DePaul. Middlebury is a wonderful school full of unique, ambitious, and outgoing individuals who strive to convert their education into something more meaningful than a 9-5 job that pays the bills. Specifically, the school is focused on the impact that society has on the environment, and has one of the most driven environmental studies departments that I have come across. Students looking for a small liberal arts school with a unique student body and some of the most caring professors should truly explore Middlebury.

DePaul is an extremely friendly university, but the prospective student should be ready to live in the middle of one of the largest cities in the world. Fortunately, the campus in Lincoln Park feels more like a small neighborhood rather than a large city. An extra bonus is included with tuition: the CTA pass. It lets you take all forms of CTA transportation. There is also a mandatory class for all Freshman that teaches you how to use public transportation.
