University of Denver Top Questions

The worst thing about my school is the lack of diversity and the close-mindedness of some of the students. There has been a lot of racial tension on campus as of late and, being that I am a POC, it has been intimidating and scary to leave my dorm room at times.

Sometimes the University of Denver feels more disconnected because it seems like it is a commuter school. However, I found the more involved a student gets on campus the less it feels that way. The academics can be very challenging, almost to the point where someone may feel like giving up. Even though at times it is daunting it can be arguable that it is worth the time and effort.

The worst thing. It is definitely a tough question to answer. In the hustle and bustle of the school year it is easy to forget to prioritize. While there is so much going on around campus, anything from hockey games to cultural dinners, it can be hard to balance work and play. I personally love the quarter system because it is refreshing to change classes every ten weeks however it is a demanding fast paced schedule whcih makes it especially hard to balance your schedule.

I belive the worst thing about the University of Denver is the lack of cultural diversity. Many, if not most of the kids at this school are wealthy and caucasion and a lot of the time their first encounter with other minorites is when they arrive on campus. I often hear ignorant side comments which would be hurtful if said face to face. I think the University needs to do more to promote diversity in ways that include the whole community of the campus instead of only giving out lets to certain groups.

The cost is sometimes detrimental to my school work because I have to work 2 jobs in order to pay tuition, which can have a poor effect on GPA. This is even with more financial aid and merit scholarships than most people have. To be fair, though, I have not had to take out any loans. Also, I come from one of the most diverse communities in Colorado, and had a sort of culture shock coming to DU: it is not as diverse as I would like.

It is expensive, so many of the students are wealthy, or have received a lot of scholarships and financial aid.

The worst part about the school is the lack of diversity in the student body. Although everyone of different backgrounds is accepted and minorities are present, the vast majority of the student body consists of a wealthy, white, conservative, and a very privileged population.

The schooling at the University of Denver is fantastic. However, the price for the amount of schooling that one receives does not correlate. I have felt at some times that those who pay come out of college into too much debt. If one is not able to find themselves a job after college, then the amount of education one received does not compare to the amount of debt that needs to be paid back.

The worst thing about the school is the overwhelming price that dorm residence have to pay for the small amount of items they get in return such as room space and amenities.
