University of Denver Top Questions

There is a very adult and career oriented atmosphere at DU. Most classes will incorporate some real world situations and qualify everything you have talked about by relating them to the world view. While the party scene is not the greatest, there are a lot of things to do, and DU does tend to look the other way most times when there is underage drinking.

Like i said above the support here is not like other school i;ve been to, your not just a number here everyone wants to get to know you, if there able to help they offer, they want everyone to be involved. i like it...

I absolutely love the diversity at The Women's College at DU. I also love that my degree is conferred by one of nation's top ranking academic prestige schools and I feel ambitious that I am apart of this wonderful group. Our current Dean is a woman, in my opinion, I rank as a "Powehouse" and usually leads in this fashion. When I see her I aspire to become someone designed to make a difference in society.

I chose DU because even though CSU and CU - Boulder both offered biology degrees, when I visited DU's campus I just felt like I belonged there. Denver is only an hour away from where my family lives, so I could still visit when I got homesick. Also, even though it is a private insitution, I knew they would offer me financial aid and I would be able to attend the school of my dreams.

The University of Denver has a strong sense of community. I noticed on my first day how the freshman banded together, for both survival and friendship. In high school, the class tensions were palpable; the upper classmen never associated with the lower classmen. This distinction is nonexistant at the University of Denver, the older students are always more than happy to help a freshman find their next class, or give helpful tips about different professors. The community at the University of Denver feels like one big family, always willing to talk and help eachother through their first years of college.

D.U. is in the heart of Denver. The unique thing about the campus is being able to go downtown and experience many different social activities within 15 minutes from the campus. Students get free access to local RTD buses and lightrails. Taking the lightrail to the nearby downtown allows you to enjoy life with friends. For example, you can easily go to Coors Field to catch a Rockies game, watch a movie at the AMC theater, go clubbing, or even roam the 16th street mall.

It's dedication to helping it's students succeed and it's dedication to making a difference in the community as well as the world.

If you want an academically challenging school and an opportunity to network with students who will go on to become future leaders in their respective fields, go somewhere else. You won't find either of these things at DU. It's not worth the money.

The University of Denver has a smaller campus than the other schools I toured in Denver. It also has smaller class sizes therefore giving more of a personal learning environment rather than one where there are over 70 students in one class.

DU has a great student teacher ratio when it comes to freshman classes. The professors are able to offer assistance and answer question during lecture. You are not just a number like other univeristys where freshman classes can have over 100 students.
