What's unique about your campus?

Sharon

DePaul University offers a program that is specifically designed for working adults. Classes are offered in the evening and on weekends. The SNL program offers a high level of education for adults that have life experience and expertise in their fields. The instructors also have practical and theoretical experience.

The best thing about my school is how diverse its students are. There's always something going on around campus and allows opportunities to meet tons of people. Beyond that the diversity in classrooms with the mixture of undergraduate students with graduate students is also interesting in the class room setting.

Jessica

Since it is in chicago, the students are very diverse- race, religion, sexual orientation, style, etc. There is always something to do in the city, it's hard to get bored. There are a lot of job opportunities in the city, for careers of for part-time jobs.

Frank

The social life is a great experience. Bars and fun events always occurring since it is located in Chicago. The small classes make learning more interactive and fun rather than a lecture hall. The teachers make an effort to learn and know your name, and learn about you. This makes for a more personal college experience which is awesome. I equate learning here to how my step dad gives directions somewhere. He adds in a whole nunch of minutia to get you somewhere but if you take that out, its more clear and precise and easier to get there!

John

I really appreciate DePaul's great location in the city of Chicago as well as the diversity amongst its students.

Samantha

I consider DePaul's faculty to be the best thing about my school. Each professor provides personal attention to each student. The classroom environment is a personal one that allows students to connect to the professor and to the material.

Evelyn

DePaul would be nothing without its location in Lincoln Park. The area is safe, there are tons of bars and fun things to do including a short walk to the zoo, beach and train ride to downtown Chicago. The people here are friendly in a mid-western type way, but there are still the benefits of living in a big city.

Richard

Th e best thing about Depaul is how the college attempts to focus on career potentiality. Reputation to uphold.

The best thing about DePaul is its location. It has a split campus in Chicago, students have access to tons of school and city activities. The school gets discounts for students to see many shows downtown. They plan trips to the muesums around the Chicagoland area, and the city of Chicago hosts numerous free events at the parks along the lake of which many DePaul students simply have to walk too. For example, on election night my roommates and I went to Grant Park to see Barack Obama's exception speech all we had to do was walk three blocks.

Channing

DePaul?s best feature is the curriculum and undergrad general course requirements because it opens a chest filled with seemingly infinite new information developed to create well-rounded, educated individuals, and I love that about DePaul because those required classes?like religion, philosophy, foreign language?have truly opened the flood gates to my psyche and unleashed an overwhelming desire to acquire more knowledge about an array of subjects that are not necessarily an element of my major or minor.

Catherine

The diversity and resources. We have access to the city's resources which opens up a lot of opportunities for the students as undergraduate and post-graduate. Diversity is also key in our university-- Depaul is open and welcoming to all kinds of people, regardless of race, sexual orientation, gender, etc.

Steven

The people are the best. The people at the school made me stay here. Everyone was nice and made you feel good. There was always things to do, or someone always had an option for something to do.

Kevin

The students and faculty take their work seriously and often share their thoughts in class.

Ashley

I really love being near Chicago. Having one campus within the downtown area keeps me connected, and opens up a lot of internship and work opportunities.

Lizzie

The smaller classes where the professors know your name and are willing to help you out one on one. forming relationships with your professor really helps. Also, It is in Chicago, which is the greatest city to live in while you are young, and there is ALWAYS something to do!

Aprelle

wonderful school!

Danielle

I like how it is located in the city of Chicago. It feels more like the "Real World" than a college campus. You are forced to grow up faster than if you went to school in the corn fields... and you have to share your campus with the rest of the city. Its wonderful because you have the beach close by when its nice out Public transportation is abundant and shopping is great. You have access to numerous amounts of entertainment including broadway shows, plays and movie theatres. You truly get the cultural experience at DePaul.

Sara

I think that it has a outstanding academic reputation.
