<p>Can anyone tell me anything about Depaul. From the website and other places, it looks like an awesome school. Are there any negatives i may be missing?</p>
<p>It may not be up to the standards of people on CC, but my friend's sister goes there and loves it. Sorry I can't be more specific, but there's one positive testimony for you.</p>
<p>Very diverse. Most people smoke. Catholic, but not really so much. New gym facilities. Nice location within chicago.<br>
As for my oppinion and the oppinion of many others on CC, not really up to standards here. I wouldnt go there, but you might need to realize that most people here are genius, or just really smart. </p>
<p>If ur gpa is in range for depaul (a 3.3 is solid) then yes it is a great school, but in comparison to schools the most people apply to here, it doesnt compare. Not to try ragging on it or anything.</p>
<p>by looking at some of ur previous posts, where you say Rice seems like a fit, you would be a damned fool to go to depaul. I wouldnt even look at it if you think you have a good shot at Rice. And if you want to do music stuff, definitely look at Oberlin. Oberlin has one of the top5 best conservatories in the US for sure.</p>
<p>a damned fool. yea, seems about right.</p>
<p>I have a friend who goes there and she likes it...I hope I am not butchering her comments on the school, but I remember he saying things like it is really diverse, a commuter school, and the social scene is mostly off campus.</p>
<p>DePaul is a good school. Everyone I know who goes there loves it. Their business and finance programs are particularly strong, and you have to give them props for location (both campuses are amazing). There are a number of commuter students, but the social life is always alive, and a lot of people are involved in various school organizations. So it's not really too much of an issue.</p>
<p>Ignore the comments about how it's "below" CC standards. A lot of the people here are ridiculous. If you like DePaul and would be happy there, that's all that matters. You wouldn't be a "fool" to go there.</p>
<p>I think the OP was just asking if it's a good safety.</p>
<p>Actually world changer, he said he liked rice in a previous thread, so yes it would be completely foolish to go to DePaul over Rice (he felt he could get into rice).</p>
<p>Rice is a better school, yes, but I wouldn't say that it's foolish to apply to a less prestigious school if you feel that you would be happy there. If he's set on Rice, he's probably just looking at DePaul as a safety, anyway.</p>
<p>Did I say I thought I could get into Rice? Man, I sound arrogant. That's not what I meant if I did. Truth be told, I probably would have some difficulty getting in, my GPA is not a 4.0. I do know I said I liked Rice and I do kind of think of Depaul as a safety considering their semi-low averages. Not to take away from Depaul! I think it's great that they are taking a big step in trying to admitt many first generations. I must also add that I am not only interested in studying music but also the sciences.</p>
