    Did learn a lot

    High School learning experience
    Did enjoy being here

    Campus is very empty feeling. You don't get to have the college experience unless you know somebody already.
    Bang for the buck

    Overpriced!

    Tips for prospective students

    The University of District of Columbia is a very good school for the nursing program. In fact it really caters to nursing students. However, UDC is not good for any other major.

    Am learning a lot

    I am a music performance major. The teachers here are very nice and knowledgeable. They have a lot of experience with music and teaching music. My non-music classes are good too. I have had bad experiences with a few professors but bad experiences are not something that can be escaped.
    Am enjoying being here

    I enjoy the many resources. UDC has a very large library. It is full of so many articles, books, and magazines. UDC also has one of the biggest jazz libraries in America. There are also many resources online. UDC is apart of the Washington DC Consortium, so basically UDC's library is linked to other University's libraries such as American, George Washington, etc.
    Bang for the buck

    The school is only 7 thousand for in state tuition. Like any University, the books cost way too much and so does everything else in the UDC book store. As a whole, the school is a lot less expensive than other schools in Washington,DC. The Community College (CCDC) is half the tuition of the University.
    Tips for prospective students

    UDC is a university where the student determines their own success. It is a school where most people are over the age 28 and have jobs and lives out side of college. The social life is not as wild as other Universities but if you as the student search for a group of other students then it will be rewarding.
    Great for these types of students

    This school is great for the student that is focused on getting excellent grades for a cost that is not so expensive. If the student is the type of student that wants a high GPA to look good for Grad Schools then this school is the place to go. If the student takes the initiative to learn regardless of the quality of the professors ( most professors are excellent but there are the few that aren't) then this school will be a great fit.

    UDC is a wonderful university. There are many teachers who care about who you are and where you are going. There is a great support system in place.

    Team with other students to work on school projects. Team with teachers who will advise you on your future.

    udc has excellent class sizes with great teachers. despite increase in tuition, udc is still very affordable. my only negative would be dealing with the financial aid offices

    ask questions in class, take advantage of the smaller class size. never try to cal financial aid, you will never get through. team up with classmates to study
