Going from AP classes in High School to Honors Accounting classes here was rather similar. If you were a strong student in High School, you will do well here if you keep up the same work ethic. Most of the things I have learned here have been from outside the classroom.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I never doubt that I made the absolute best decision when I chose DePaul. I love the city life, the students, and the classes. The classes are great because the teachers are amazing (as long as you check them out on RateMyProfessor!) and the class sizes are small. You are forced to participate in many of your classes because they are not lecture halls.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Face it: DePaul is not a state school. The price for a private school is competitive, and you must also keep in mind that it's in downtown Chicago. You are definitely paying a premium for the city, but it is worth it. Better value than other private schools in the city.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Realize that there is a lot to be learned not only in the class room, but from the university and the city. Make your experience worth it and get involved, explore the city (safely) and take advantage of every opportunity- remember you are only here for 4 years, and this is your chance.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
People who love fast-paced city life. DePaul's business school is by far the most popular on campus, and arguably the highest quality of all the colleges within the University.
