Denison feels a lot bigger than it is; just over two thousand people sounds small but there are always faculty/staff, Granville, and other places to experience! Students are friendly and involved. The potential to succeed here is incredible- students can achieve anything!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Take difficult classes in high school- the experience of that level of rigor pays off. Learn time management before going to school. GET INVOLVED in high school and even more so in college.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Classes vary in rigor generally based on field of study. Some departments are more difficult than others. However, all classes are demanding and challenging, some just more than others.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
This can go both ways. Quiet and substance free dorms aren't for everybody and neither are the normal dorms. Rooms are generally spacious and the RAs are great!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Food is pretty good. Students have to be creative with what they eat. However, dining services are putting out more and more local and organic foods.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Parties are limited on an entirely-residential campus with minimal satellite housing. But, plenty of events happen like comedians, movies, plays, concerts, etc.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Denison is expensive but it also gives out a ton of financial aid. Given that, the experience matches the high end price tag but almost nobody pays that. It's an incredible time in college for how much most students end up paying.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Don't step on the seal in front of Swasey Chapel! You won't graduate from Denison if you do.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There's a club for anything and, if not, it's easy to set one up! Also, clubs provide excellent opportunities for leadership and networking.
