My first impression of DeSales was that it was not for me and I did not fit in with the types of people there. Although I still do not talk to a lot of people, I found my group of friends and they have made DeSales worth going to. The academics at DeSales are phenomenal and I think I will be extremely well-rounded and prepared for anything after I graduate.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Take your academics seriously. It is not cool to get bad grades because you are the one paying for them. Time management is your best friend and procrastination will not work like it did in high school.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The academics at DeSales are extremely rigorous. It is difficult and challenging, but I have completely changed my way of thinking.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms are nice, I just wish everybody was closer.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Everyone at DeSales complains about the food, but in all honesty, it is probably A LOT better than most schools. The dining really is not that bad.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Good question.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Academically, you get more bang for your buck, but if you're going here for the college experience, forget about it.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
None whatsoever.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The campus is safe. There are campus police driving around everywhere. You can usually leave your belongings in a public place on campus for hours and nobody will touch them.
