<p>Transferring to DePaul by spring or fall...</p>
<p>A little info: </p>
<p>I attend UMD (college park) right now, yes very far from chicago lol. Sophomore, and ready to transfer. </p>
<p>. How is the social life? I am a minority, half african and half italian. Will I be able to fit in? I don't want to be an outcast. </p>
<p>. Sad to say that I have never visited Chicago before, but I have lived in a big city before (NYC). If you will, can you describe the scenery as far as the surrounding area goes?? </p>
<p>.What kind of GPA do they look for as far as a transferring is concerned? I saw it on the site (2.0 GPA )... And I'm having a hard time beliving if it is that easy? </p>
<p>. My major is history</p>
<p>I am 19 years old, sophomore. </p>
<p>Current GPA at UMD - 2.8 ( I know it is low) </p>
<p>Credits - 42 credits finished ( without counting the 15 I am taking right now) </p>
<p>first off what are you doing housing wise? Are you staying in a dorm on the Lincoln Park campus? I know the ones they have in the Loop and the ones off campus are really nice. Also, they do offer some really good deals with some apartment companies in the area. As far as diversity, it's Chicago. You definitely shouldn't have a problem fitting in. Plus, you will meet students from other schools in the area. As far as scenery I know the lincoln park campus is really close to Lake Michigan, so it is pretty nice. There are parks throughout the city that really nice too. The campus is somewhat small though compared to other schools in the area.</p>
