University of Denver Top Questions

Probably the thing I brag most about is the quarter system, or the hockey team. DU runs on quarters rather than semester, so the fall quarter does not start until mid-September, and we get out for winter break right before Thanksgiving. Also, our winter break lasts for 6 whole weeks! Longer than most other universities. It's pretty awesome! Also our hockey team is amazing! They've won multiple national titles, and year after year they are constantly in the top 10 college hockey teams! It is so much fun to get to watch them.

I always brag about being on the trimester system and getting 6 weeks off for winter break when my friends are still in school. I also tell them about being next to the mountains and the beautiful weather that happens all year round. Having sunshine 300 days of the year has its benefits! I also brag about the ease of public transportation (which is provided for students!) and being only 15 minutes from downtown Denver. The culture of a big city is extremely accessible for everyone with theatre, music, and restaurants available. A little bit of something for everyone!

I brag about the availability to go to the mountains on any given weekend and being able to do all kinds of outdoor activities depending on the season. The Rockies are our backyard and we have some of the best ski resorts in the country and plenty of snow in the winter to go with it. The campus is beautiful (very green), our buildings are state-of-the-art, and most classes are kept small so there is a lot of interaction during class. The athletic facilities are fantastic and most people like to stay fit.

How beautiful the campus is. The advantages of relatively small class sizes. The location and surrounding areas. How great our hockey team is.

I brag that the student body is close as a whole. We bond over university activities like hockey games. We all have the same love for the school that we attend which makes it so easy to go there because you know that there are people who have the same interests as you.

What sets the University of Denver apart is the small class sizes. I've had one 100 student class but all my other classes have been between 15-30 students.

The University of Denver is the epitome of college when one pictures college. DU provides the best college experience and I love to tell my friends about all the actives and experiences that I have had on campus. From the coed dorms where I do my laundry, to the packed arena at hockey games, DU allows students to engage in activities and meet life long friends. I love bragging about the environment my school offers and how it has enabled me to meet wonderful people, make memories, and enjoy every day on campus.

The class sizes, the weather, Colorado, the campus, and the mountains.

When I brag to my friends about school the first thing I mention is the beautiful campus. The next thing that I tell them about is how the class sizes are so small that the teachers all know me by name and are willing to help me out when I have a question. The final thing I tell people about is how my school is one of the highest ranking business schools in the country. These are the three things that I tell people the most even though there are many other amazing things about my school.

The study abroad program is amazing! Here at DU, it is common for third-year students to study abroad for a semester and DU makes it easier to do so. There is an entire office dedicated to the internationalization of students and there is a scholarship program in place so that students may go abroad and only have to pay what they pay to attend DU.
