Question
Where to start with DePaul.Super BrilliantEnglish
Where to start with DePaul...
Students: While advertised as being the most diverse school in the country, most of the students are rich kids from the suburbs. A lot of students go bar-hopping midweek and then complain about being hungover in class.

Housing: Virtually non-existent at DePaul. On-campus is limited to freshmen and some sophomores, and not enough for all of them. Lincoln Park prices are expensive, so students commute from pretty much every neighborhood in the city and suburbs. Campus housing is generally nice, but has tons of rules and regulations.

Staff and Class: Classes are small, professors generally know who you are, which is nice. Class has never been too difficult or too much work.Campus: Since it's mostly a commuter school, there's little campus life. There are tons of activities to get involved in, but the student body is still highly dissociated. Also adding to this is two campuses, one in LP and one in the Loop.

Question
I hate this place.AverageUndecided
I hate this place. The reason why this school is so diverse is because the school wants to make a one of those college lists and brag about it in the brochures. There are also a bunch of spoiled rich brats who like to party on Mondays and Thursdays. There are better schools out there.
