@loudclappingmom what a great choice! Chicago is a beautiful city and I’m sure your D will have a wonderful experience. I’m so jealous that your decision process is over - over here S is still in the throes of it all. Hoping we get there soon!
@loudclappingmom - Congrats! My S is a freshman at DePaul and loves the program. Lots of good info at accepted students day. PM me if you have questions in the months ahead!
So glad to see this thread starting up. Thanks @loudclappingmom and congratulations to your son - our class of 2022 members at DePaul are very, very happy there!
