from Chicago, IL

Describe your college in three sentences.

Depauw University is a small school with huge opportunities. Out of five stars I would give it five stars. They show that they want to create a great environment that will help develop their students in having a good career future.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Do not be afraid to stand out in this school and to ask for help if you are having trouble. Make sure that this school gives you what you want and that it makes you feel like home.

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

Academics are challenging. The programs are rigorous and show that a student needs to try hard to achieve what they want. The professors and other staff are very helpful and kind. The class sizes make it easier to communicate and connect better with other students and teachers.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Each dorm hall is different. Good sized rooms. One has the choice of choosing a roommate or living solo. Communal bathrooms are cleaned daily. Great surrounding ambiance and good time frames for talking/ sleeping hours ( it helps because everyone has different sleeping/studying schedules).

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Several of the prospective students that come really enjoy the food at the dining hall. There is a variety of foods for meat eaters and vegetarians. The food is good and they have good dining services and times. One gets to choose a planning meal for the semester which is very helpful.

Several things to do for fun. There are several sports, activities and dances in which one can participate in. The gym,workout area, and swimming pool are available. There are several clubs one can join in just for fun, such as yoga, zumba, intramural sports etc.

A great tradition is Monon weekend. Every year Depauw goes against its rival school, Wabash. There is a football game in which they fight for the bell. That weekend, students celebrate the win or the loss by having activities that brings every student closer.
