Laura's Review

Review of University of Dubuque

from Illinois

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

You will learn a lot of new things here. The gen. ed. classes may seem like classes you've taken in high school, but you will still learn something new in every single class you take. The work load is not too bad and if you are having trouble, the professors are more than willing to help you. I've only been there for a year and I have learned so much just within the basic classes. Once I get into my actually major, I know i will learn so much more!

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I cannot see myself anywhere else now. The UD family is a place where you will feel welcomed by everyone. It is a small, friendly, fun campus to be at with so many things to do and so many new people to meet. Our school is so diverse and thats what makes it such a great place to be at. So many people here want to see you succeed and will do so much to help you to make sure you do succeed. It is such a great community and it really is my second home.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

UD really tries to give you as much financial aid they can. Many students get financial aid for their grades. Even if you're not a straight A student, you will still get money. They help as much as they can and understand college is expensive and they try to lighten the load on the money you will be spending.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Apply early and just visit the school. Once you visit, talk with some students to see what they think. You will understand right away that the UD community is one of the most friendly and welcoming communities.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

International, military, those who are used to a small town feel and want a home away from home
