University of Denver Top Questions

Anyone can attend the University of Denver. Just keep an open mind and the friendly people will approach you regardless whether you call yourself a jock, a nerd, or a cheerleader.

Someone who wants to party all of the time and skip class. People who do those things at DU will not be successful.

Someone who does not like to participate in class and likes to hide in the back and do their own thing. Someone who enjoys a more quiet lifestyle and does not like big cities.

There is a variety of many different students. I would have to say that anyone would like this school except for those who are not very outdoorsy

The ones who are only looking for a good time! Also people who are not motivated.

If you're really big into school spirt, that's one thing DU is really lacking. It doesn't help that we don't have a football team and our basketball team is only so-so. Hockey is a big deal here and the games are really fun.

This school is fairly selective and expensive, so it's hard to be a student here who isn't either very motivated or very wealthy. I think the school sometimes shies away from certain students who could bring an entirely new perspective to campus; a person who struggles with very intelligent and somewhat spoiled peers might struggle here. This is not to say every student here is like that in any regard, however they are a vocal portion of the student body and it's a learning curve to discover how to deal with some of those kinds of people.

I believe someone who is uptight and competive over grades this is not the school for them. Most people here are friendly outgoing and chill. They dont call it the mile high city no reason.

Indoor people should not attend. All students are very active and like doing things outside. Religious people may not want to attend. Not that religious students aren't accepted, it's just not a religious school.

If you search for diversity, DU is lacking in it. I know that currently they strive to make this better, but it's a slow process. As well, there is a lot of money that is represented here by the students and their families. Sometimes this creates unnecessary pressures on those who don't have the same fortune in their lives.
