I wouldn't go to Depaul again if given the chance, and that is a big statement coming from someone like myself. I did my undergraduate degree at a very large Big Ten University (U of MN - Twin Cities) so I was used to plenty of red tape, and other nonsense. Depaul was far worse than anything I ever experienced at the U of MN, which is ironic being that the U has several thousand more students. It was a consistantly miserable experience. Advisors that don't return e-mails or phone calls, lost files, lost papers and assignments, poor resources for students (don't let them tout the U-Pass if you are in the Graduate School of Education... you aren't eligable despite being one of the most mobile groups of students on campus. It was mind-boggling. I wrote to the dean, and she never wrote me back....) Overall, I don't advise coming here. Jan 04 2006 Education

I did my M.A. at DePaul, and also took some undergraduate courses. The faculty was generally good. There are some really stand-out professors, especially in regards to teaching. The facilities are excellent, and the school is easy to get to via public transportation. Unfortunately, it is very much a commuter school, and the campus shuts down at night. Students have virtually no school spirit and are generally introverted. It is very dificult to meet people at DePaul, but if you try really hard, you can have some success. This gets harder in graduate school. At one point during my stay there, some activist students took control of the student newspaper and threatened students (simply because the newspaper used the term "black" instead of "african-american." It was a national embarrassment, and the administration made it worse through capitulation. The incident created an atmosphere of animosity on the campus which lasted for months afterwards.
