Depaul University

Depaul University is another great university in Chicago. It is a private school and so it is quite pricey, but you do get what you pay for. The campus is located in Lincoln Park and the campus is pretty big and loaded with great facilites. While this is a Catholic school, it is still very liberal and they have a good array of classes offered here. You can get a pretty good education here and graduates from Depaul have a good job placement rate as well. I'm sure you can find a school that is cheaper, but the experience you will get here will be great as well. more

Having attended for three years, I can say that I have found some of the most knowledgeable, empathetically academic people around. While a Catholic University (and the largest in the nation to boot), conservative it is not in the least. With the exception of not having any kind of condom program, the school is as liberal as they come, pushing diversity nearly to the point of annoyance. However, the result is great possibilities for open discourse and lots and lots of learning. I'm unable to speak for most of the school of Commerce (which IS one of the largest in the country), but LA&S is a group that you will get to know quickly, and our Theatre and Music programs are absolutely some of the best in the country, comparable to Juilliard and other extremely well-renowned Fine Arts Universities. Top that off with small class size, great and well cared-for facilities, a wonderful location in the heart of one of the safest neighborhoods in Chicago with accessibility to really everything, and a broad spectrum of people, and I'd say you've got a fabulous institution of higher learning. One drawback, however, is that DePaul has more than doubled in size in the last ten years, and as a result, the office tango has not quite been worked out yet. The bureaucracy and red tape is not quite under control, and though this is fairly minor, it can definitely be annoying at times. more

DePaul University offers you a first class education with an even more amazing chance to experience life. The class sizes are never more than 50 or 60 and the clasroom is always a learning experience within itself. Students and Professors work together on a daily basis to unearth lessons, truths and history of all topics discussed. DePaul not only prepares you for a future career but it also strengthens and conditions the mind, body and soul to be ready for whatever changes and experiences that the person will face. DePaul is located in the heart of the city, with one campus located in the middle of the most diverse neighborhood in Chicago, Lincoln Park. The classes are challenging and the work is very indepth. It's very 'hands-on' and simulates real life career experiences that will undoubtedly be present in the future. Overall, this institution has been and will continue to be one of the best private colleges within the nation. more
