Describe your college in three sentences.

DSU is very personal to each student needs. The school may be small, but DSU has a great heart for helping out its community as well as allowing the community to support its students efforts in attaining their desired education. If feels like my home away from home.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

DSU stretches your knowledge. Some classes require you to really think outside the box, allowing you to be better equipped for the everyday possibilities. The teachers challenge your skills but also are willing to work with you in order for you to achieve your desired degree.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Dorms are pretty nice. Living in the dorm allows for easy access to campus events. It also allows you to get the most information about upcoming events, tutoring opportunities or other academic or social happenings. Dorm life acts as a mini family apartment. You'll always be hanging with fellow students or in someone's room at a study party.

The cafeteria offers a variety of food everyday and even offers healthier options due to our size of athletic enrollment. The Union also offers a good variety of foods including a Burger Studio, coffee shop, smoothie shop and Chick-fil-a.

There is always a sport event going on where students will be gathered. Also, Cleveland offers multiple hang out places and restaurants. They even recently acquired a skating rink. On campus, you can call a movie night in the dorms or get together and have an xbox tournament like the guys do.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
