DePaul was a great place for me in 1978. I lived in a dump of an apartment in Portage Park with a cousin who was a U of C law student (now a Federal appealate court judge) and I really grew up during those four years. I remember the women at DePaul being pretty plain (most) but that certainly seems to have changed more than 25 years later.

Anyway, I loved the school. Administration then and now seemed too ensconsed in its ivory tower. I remember the dean of students, Patricia Ewers, announcing each year the tuition increases (up to 7% I think one or two years while I was there) and then comparing the University's cost-push cycle to that of Notre Dame or Georgetown. DePaul was great, but it's not on the same level as Georgetown or Notre Dame. It was a lame attempt to placate the masses and it surely did not work.

25 years post graduation, I still get these inane letters asking for money. However, I've found that any request I make of the university (for information, for example) never warrants a response. I also enjoy the DePaul magazine, that seems primarily to feature the CPAs, finance drones and lady bountifuls who seem extremely impressed with themselves, who they know, what they drive and what they do, although it has done a better job telling the stories of first generation attendees and other related success stories. Unfortunately I have all but lost touch with the University but some of my best friends in the world came from DePaul. You will do well to enjoy your classes, friends and experiences but ignore the uninformed and lame administrative structure you'll likely encounter.
