DePauw University

I love Depauw University! Go Tigers! My department - Education Studies - is very strong and the professors pay you so much individual attention it can be annoying.

If you don't want to go Greek DO NOT COME HERE. All my non-Greek friends transferred in their freshman year. Depauw is ranked as the #1 Greek school in the whole country and it dominates the social scene so much that it pretty much is the social scene. That can fun, though.

The professors here make the academic part amazing. You will learn how to be a deep thinker here. Class discussion is really encouraged and the students can really get into it.

The biggest downside: Greencastle sucks on ice. It's the definition of conservative small town (and I'm from Indiana, not some snooty New Yorker). There are about half-a-dozen restaurants in the whole village (and that's including McDonalds). Town-gown relations are very strained, especially for the East Coasters who come here for the reputation but think us Midwesterners are a bunch of hicks.

In short, Depauw has great on-campus activities, wonderful classes, and has kind, very Greek students. Unfortunately, it's located in an ugly hamlet.
