DePaul University is located in both Lincoln Park and in Chicago. In order for the college experience to be the most positive, one should love the big city. One should have a love of the school as well; while the school spirit is not as "spirited" as it could be, it is possible for students to get involved and support the athletic teams. DAB (the activities board) makes it very easy for the numerous diverse cultures we have at DePaul to not only feel at home with their own ethnic groups, but to aslo branch out. and make new friends.

I can honestly say that I know students from every ethnic background that attend school here, and everyone seems to find a place to fit in where they are comfortable. It seems like there is something for everyone here.

Academically I can only answer for the College of Commerce, but my experience was great for the most part.
