    I just finished my first year at DePauw and I absolutely loved every minute of it. I know DePauw would not be the perfect fit for everyone, so I will try to explain the campus and the atmosphere as best as I can. Greek life is huge at DePauw, but do not have that turn you away. Going into college I never thought that I would join a sorority. I pictured sororities in the stereotypical television depicted way and it is nothing like that at all! Trust me, give it a shot. My advice would be to go through rush and if you do not think that it is the right fit for you then do not join. There is no obligation. Most of campus is involved in Greek like, but people do not only associate themselves with their house. I have about 5 friends who are not Greek and they fit in just fine. This school is also for someone who wants a quaint and personal college experience. In my eyes the campus is big, but after talking to my friends who went to state colleges, DePauw’s campus is small. You could walk through the entire campus in about 10-15 minutes. Class sizes are small and there are no teachers assistants. Every student gets a very personal education. The professors know your name and they are always available to help. If you email a professor there is a good chance they will email you back in less than 30 minutes. The people at DePauw are really friendly as well. The campus itself is gorgeous. They pride themselves on a clean and beautiful campus- flowers are everywhere. There is great school pride. We have a few events that the whole campus goes crazy for which is our Monon Bell Game (football) and our Little 5 weekend (Bike race). The whole campus is wireless so that is a major plus. Also do not be scared about drinking. DePauw is rated as having a lot of drinking. Personally this scared me, but trust me no one pressures you into drinking. If you want to that’s great, but if you don’t want to you can still go out at night and have a great time! read full review

    I am a first-year student at DePauw and I just finished my first semester a few days ago. Everything about DePauw is very personal and the class sizes are amazingly small. Each student has the opportunity to get personal attention and instruction from the professors upon request. The professors have office hours during the day and are willing to help anyone who comes in and asks for help. The classes can be difficult, but the liberal arts education is very rewarding.

    The majority of DePauw's campus is greek (the students join sororities & fraternities) but there are also many students who decide not to and are independent. There is not a large divide between the two groups and you don't have to go greek just to fit in. I came here planning to stay independent but after a semester of being here, I'm considering joining a minority sorority. Once I got to campus and learned more about greek life, I thought I may enjoy it.

    DePauw also has very good housing options. After your first year, you aren't required to live in a dorm. The university owns houses and duplexes on campus that cost the same as the dorms. They are very nice places to live with a group of friends. They all have full kitchens and bathrooms and are very nice and up to date.

    DePauw also has a very beautiful campus although it is small. It is very well kept up and the buildings are all fairly new. You can walk from one end of campus to the other in 10 minutes or under.

    Don't let the cost scare you! DePauw is an expensive school, but it's worth every penny! The school provides a great liberal arts education and a great college experience. The financial aid office is really good about helping create a financial aid package and come up with scholarships to make it affordable for students.
