University of Denver Top Questions

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about University of Denver?

Stefanie

Often when talking to my friends about my school, I tell them about how much I love the campus and the student body. I love how the campus is so close to the mountain and the city, yet has its private and safe little campus. I also tell them how much I love all of my professors. In high school my professors were nice, but they did not teach in the same and enthusiastic way that they do here at the University of Denver. They really make me want to learn here.

Hannah

The class sizes are really small; it's nice because most professor's know you by name. I also bragged about one particular political science class I took from a former Governor of Colorado which was an absolutely amazing class.

One of the best things I love about my school is where it is located. You can walk everywhere, they have a great public transportation system, and for all students, you get to ride for free! Also the class sizes are extremely intimate. My biggest class so far has been a fifty student math class and plus that, you attend a lab with just fifteen. The campus is beautiful, the weather is great (300 plus days of sunshine) and who would be upset getting to look at the snow covered mountains every day?

The University of Denver is a school that is on the quarter system. In the time that it takes semester-school students to complete 32 credit hours, I will have successfully completed 48 credit hours. I also get to study abroad my junior or senior year and DU will pick up the tab for my plane ticket and visa if I maintain over a 3.0 GPA. Study abroad is such an integral part of the learning at DU and they encourage their students to be good global citizens. Also, the classes are small!

Dan

That the University of Denver is not only going to give me an education, that my life experiences and skills are an on-going part of the entire academic process. I know that I will be a participant in future education, because the University will take my personal lessons of leadership in the military and incorporate them into future teachings. And I am incredibly proud of the University of Denver in ignoring the traditional process of admission, and valuing all of my military and personal experiences in awarding me academic credit.

The strong academics, the extra-curricular activities, skiing/snowboarding

Jessica

I love how close the campus is to the city. It's great to be in your own bubble, but when you want to get away, it's only a train stop away. The people here are so great and friendly I hate leaving them for holidays.

Jillian

Its great study abroad program and opportunities

Kelsey

I brag about the rocky mountains, living in Denver (which is an amazing city), that DU has a great hockey team, and the amazing micro brews that are produced in CO.
