Defiance is an excellent school because your are a person to them and not another number. They have so many activities for everyone to join. You're going to make a lot of new friends here before you even have your first day of classes.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Study hard! You will need to study but there is The Learning Commons here and they will help you with homework, pre-reading a paper, and will also improve your note taking skills.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The professors here at Defiance, are not really strict but they are fair in their judgement. They want you to be responsible for your own work, and if you don't do it or cannot make it to class, they want you to notify them ahead of time so they can expect it to be late or not to see you in class. In the dorms however, they are strict. If you are extremely loud during quiet hours then you're first told to turn it down, then if you have to be told more times, they get the Hall Directors and if need be the Dean of Students.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The rooms are a double and they can be roomy or clutter, however you design your room. The halls are always filled with life, with people stopping by other's room and just saying Hi, how are you? and there are parties in some of the hallways during the school year. Plus the Resident Assistants are extremely nice and helpful, and want to make your stay here in the dorms great.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is good, there is a lot of variety here. We have a salad bar, a grill for burgers, pizza, pasta, cereal, and the drinks range from milk and juice to pop.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are a lot of activities and clubs here on campus. We have sports from football and baseball to swimming and diving. Activities are Greek Life to DC PRIDE. There is a mall right up the street, and a bowling alley either way.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It is a little on the expense side, but they offer more to you. Since you are paying a large amount in tuition, they want you to keep your grades up by offering free tutoring and study tables in the library. They really don't want to see a student suffer in any way, so they work with you and your professors to make it easier for you.

There are two sororities, one fraternity, and a co-ed fraternity. Sigma Sigma Sigma is more of a service sorority while Alpha Xi Delta is more social. The fraternity Phi Sigma Chi helps each other become better individuals and wants to see each other succeed in life.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
They have a card scanner in every dorm building, that you use. They also have campus security that if you do have a night class and you don't want to walk back to the dorm by yourself, then you just call them and tell them, and they will send someone over to walk you back. They also have a alcohol free zone in the freshman dorm, due to everyone being under 21. The campus is also a smoke-free one, but there are designated areas that you can smoke.
