LaSchelle - 02/25/2023

It’s a good university to attend and it has a variety of ways to learn from in person, online or both. They also offer study abroad. Davenport gives opportunities to all students. They have great academia, but yet very expensive. I only wish that the cost of tuition/ books were not so high to where even people like me who doesn’t appear to have a financial, and do, can benefit from most of the scholarships offered by Davenport.

delfino - 11/06/2022

I think that Davenport is a great school to learn at and it's business school is great to attend. Davenport even has there own business facility and parking lot where it makes it easy to locate when on the campus and easy to find when you're a newcomer.

Chelsi - 01/24/2021

While attending Davenport University, I experienced numerous professors that made students teach the class to themselves. Most of the professors were nice but they were not really interested in the success of students. My advisor enrolled me into classes I did not need and I actually went through four different advisors in my year as a student because they kept quitting.

jared - 08/05/2020

davenport is an amazing school to attend. its a little pricy but in all honesty, it's worth every penny. the other students are super chill and respectful to everyone's opinions and ideas. the classroom atmosphere is also great and the profs don't make things weird which is great in my opinion. davenport has few flaws and that's why I go there.

  5. What kind of person should attend this school?

    This school actually disappoints me. They allow too many partiers in. People that are allowed to attend this school should be serious about their career. A person that is not always drinking a smoking weed, instead he or she is in the room doing homework or at a friend's room playing Xbox. In my case, I am helping people with computer problems, and trying to design the next big hit game.

The younger population of the school is growing along with the programs offered for these younger students. It seems like a fun and helpful learning environment for students just out of highschool. There is a great education program availabe, but small classes so you don't feel like just a number.
