DePaul University

I had a great time and learned so much at DePaul. Of course, it is WAY too expensive, and the quarter (not semester) system was hard to keep up with at times, but the good definitely outweighs the bad.

The classes are very small with 10-20 students per class and you never get taught by T.A.'s. I didn't really know what a T.A. was until I went to grad school! The professors usually go out of their way to help students.

The fact that it is in the middle of the city can be a good and bad thing. On the one hand, there is so much culture around, on the other hand, it is easy to get distracted by it and give it all your time and energy, which takes away from the attention you should be giving to your challenging classes. Enjoy Chicago, but remember to focus on being a student and graduating :>

Activism is big here, so if you have an open mind and are into world politics than this is the school for you.

Last but not least, although it is a relatively small school, it is very well-regarded in the Midwest, where mentioned DePaul in an interview is a plus.

p.s. don't worry about the catholic label to the school. I never felt out of place as an atheist.
