DePaul
is a decent school- I can't give it too much
more credit than that. The Theatre School has it's own
thing going on, so I feel like I'm rating TTS
more than DePaul in general, although lately I have branched
out and taken some reg. DePaul courses in a variety
of fields. DePaul University is a big school, although it
doesn't look that big when you walk around the campus.
We have so many commuter students that it's possible to
never see the same person more than once a quarter
even if you go to the same school. But if
you want to get involved, there are plenty of student-run
extracurriculars where you can meet people at and— see them
more than once a quarter. Chicago and Licoln Park
are great- if you want to go to college in
a major city but don't like living in a super
congested (ala NYC) type of area, DePaul is a school
I suggest you look at. —Also, although this school
is “the largest catholic university in the country,” don't let
that scare you— I'm an agnostic Jew and I'm doing
fine. As for getting into the school, it really
depends on what you're trying to get into. I came
in for costume design and showed a bunch of paintings
for my interview. My HS GPA was not impressive, my
SAT scores were only slightly above average, so I figure
basically anyone can get into DePaul as long as they
weren't total flunkies in HS. However, one thing I have
found is that while getting in is easy, there are
plenty of challenging classes here, esp 300 level academics, that
kick some major butt in terms of workload and studying.
We have some crappy teachers and some good ones, which
I guess is the case at every school. The
one really great thing about DePaul is the small class
sizes. I don't think I've ever been in a class
with more than 55 people in it— and I can't
believe when my friends tell me they take classes in
lecture halls with hundreds or thousands of students. Now, it
was a bit sad that the rumor spread in HS
that you could “miss as much class as you want”
in college and still get an A isn't true here,
but in the end, going to class every day is
worth it— as long as you have a good teacher.
