University of Denver Top Questions

The type of person that shouldn't attend this school is a person who has a hard time keeping up with rigirous work and who doesn't like to join clubs. A person who keeps to themselves would not be a good fit.

To anyone not willing to dedicate every bit of open time to studying, homework or tutoring, this school is definitely not for you. The curriculum is advanced and, due to the quarter system, is sped up considerably. In order to keep up with the class, you'll need to form study groups with your classmates, get to know your teachers and attend their office hours, everything you can do to understand what goes on in class, you will need to make time for. The University of Denver is rigorous but in the long term, worth it.

Someone who would rather learn in a large enviroment and enjoys large lecutres halls should not attend this school. The University of Denver allows for small class sizes which creates more discussion and allows students to focus their ideas and thoughts easier. If someone does not like discussion or is not able to learn from other's ideas and are very partial I don't think they would be a very good fit for the University.

Those who have a lower socio-economic status should not attend DU. Despite a lot of groanings that goes on around campus about how much tuition costs, most of the students do not really need to think about money. Their parents who have attained a fantastic living for themselves which is a good thing. However, their children believe that they are entitled to whatever they want with little respect for teachers which is not. They do not understand expensive and important school can be. If one doesn't like people like they should not go to DU.

The type of person that should not attend this school is a person who do not have a good work ethic, someone who is not willing to make friends and connect with others, and who does not enjoy a magnificent campus that rarely sees rain or clouds. University of Denver is a place that welcomes everyone with open arms. The academics and athletics are state of the art and do not stand for people who pick the easy way out. Not only does DU except everyone, but so do the students. Everyone loves to meet new people and share interests.

If you are really bothered by people who love labels and who are rich and know it, then I would avoid DU. Most kids are not that way and are super down to earth, but DU has a repuatation of being full of snobby rich kids who just take the easiest major and party every night. But like I said that will only bother you if you let it.

The type of person who shouldn't attend the University of Denver is a person who does not like small to medium sized campuses or wanting to focus purely on STEM-related fields (mathematics, physics, etc).

Someone who is looking for the huge sports/ football/ school spirit aspect of school.

If a student is not very acamdemic or committed to their education, DU would not be the right choice for them. Everyone that is here takes their education very seriously and you must be willing to work very hard. So if someone is lazy and not dedicated to deadlines and achieving good grades this would not be the right place.

The University of Denver is challenging. The kind of person that should not attend this school is someone that may feel rushed in a quarter system. The quarters seem to fly by and are perfect for students that are bored by the semester system and want to move quickly through class. DU is not the best institution for students that are searching for their major. DU is expensive and provides a great education but you definately want to stick to a degre plan and be dedicated to your studies.

Someone who doesn't have a good attitude about trying new things and learning. This school is all about branching out and experiencing something new and fun. We also need people who accept others for who they are, and make the campus feel safe and inviting for everyone.

I would have to say that those who do not care for sports should not attend the University of Denver. Not to say that one who does not love sports will not love this school but they may not enjoy all the sport event actives the school provides such as camping out for season hockey tickets. This school has some of the greatest athletes and our success with all the teams composes a great part of our school. If one does not really care for sports they would probably not appreciate all the events and talk about the athletic activities.

Many of the students at this school are upper-middle class young adults who enjoyed a convenient and easy lives at home. These students tend to spend more time shopping and partying than they do studying. In addition, the school's general lack of diversity adds to the stress of attendingh the university. Thus, any student who plans on attending this school needs to be prepared for living and working in an environment such as this one, and either be able to fit in, or be comfortable standing out.

Someone who doesn't like the sun.

A person that wants a strong diversity of students should not go to this school. Several of the students are from wealthy families and out of state, there are a few in state, but mostly preppy out of state students. Also the students at University of Denver seem to party hard or not at all, so if you want a social life you tend to need to go out to bars.

Anyone who is closed minded will not be well liked at DU. We are a community.

Any person who is not serious about their education. DU is a school with a close community of young adults who are paying a lot of money to get an education. They are definitely serious about classes, studying, and getting good grades.

I honestly don't know. I think the school might be a little week on the science and math sides, judging by the location and state of their buildings, but I don't study that, so I'm not sure. To me, it seems open to everyone willing to work hard to learn!

Someone who isn't willing to work hard and play a part in the community.

People who cannot afford the University of Denver, meaning people who do not get huge amount of financial and/or they do not come from a weatlth family. This school is way too expensive to have to pay off in loans for only getting a bachlors degree. Also, students who like a large school and would rather be a number than a face or a name should not go to this small school.
