University of Denver Top Questions

What's the most frustrating thing about University of Denver?

Matthew

The interactive learning software is not intuitive, it's very frustrating to use and to find the information I need. Seems like I waste a lot of time trying to find information.

Quinn

The cost. It is the way they nickel and dime you for everything. When money is disbursed from financial aid, it is realistic to receive thousands of dollars less than you asked for

Tonja

I have not experienced anything frustrating, except for group work; occasionally I have been stood up by another classmate when working on a project together, and have had to complete the entire project and present to the class on my own with very little time to prepare (but that was a great learning experience for me as well!)

DU is on the quarter system. We have three 10-week quarters rather than two 16-week semesters. Because of this, the pace is very, VERY fast, and a lot of outside studying is required to keep up. However, you get to take more classes total this way, so it's not necessarily always a bad thing, just be prepared to work extremely hard and keep up with very fast-paced, intense classes.

James

DU is very expensive. It is an amazing experience and the professors are great, but it isn't cheap!

Katy

They say they are very big on diversity, but there is not really a diverses group of people here. A lot of it has to do with the price of the school. Also as a theatre major it is rustrating that the Uni does not care at all about the arts and they support the sports drastically more than the arts here.

Lindsey

The most frustrating thing about the University of Denver is some of the ways that they spend their money. I like that they put all of our tuition towards our school, but I do not agree with some of the renovations that they make. I would prefer that students have a little more say in how the money is spent to fix up campus.

Joseph

There is hardly anything at DU that is frustrating, literally the most frustrating thing I have encountered here is managing all of my various extracurriculars as well as events and school, becasue there is so many fun, inspiring and intriuging things to do on campus, that it hard to everything that I want to do.

Hannah

With all the perks attending the University of Denver offers, the most frustrating thing about it is that diversity is limited. While there is always a constant stream of new people to meet, most seem very similar. Once you get to know everyone, differences emerge. There is a place for everyone at this school, however, it may take some time to find.

Alex

The most frustrating thing about my school is the class registration process and not being able to get into the classes I need. Not being able to get into classes that I must have is especially frustrating to me because I am the type of person that hates to waste time and likes to complete what is most critical as quickly as possible. Having to wait an entire quarter or more to complete a class I know I must have is extremely frustrating to me and makes me feel like I am wasting my time and my parent’s money.
