DePaul is best known for engaging the Chicago Community. One of the biggest slogans DePaul likes to use is "The City is our Campus". DePaul provides a very unique experience for students where they bypass the "college experince" filled with frat parties and tailgates and replaces that with the "city experience".

Although DePaul is well-known for being the largest Catholic University, it is proud of its diversity. This includes religious diversity, and I can honestly say that I found more diversity, religious and oherwise, here than in the small town where I grew up. Although Catholicism is a large part of the university, I have never felt as if I were being excluded for not being Catholic. I notice more than a focus on Catholicism there is a larger focus on its values of service work, diversity, and urban environment.

FEST-its a big concert DePaul Activities Board organizes and is right near the end of the year. My freshman year it was Wiz Khalifa, and last year it was Lupe Fiasco. It is something all students look forward to!

To the general public I'd say DePaul Demons are known for their basketball team years ago. They were arguably one of the best in the country. Nowadays, I'd say the university as a whole is known for their all around quality programs. Many residents of the area either went back to DePaul in some kind of adult program, or graduated there after high school. The business school is very presitgious, and the school boasts most about its dedication to a quality education- such as the professors are there to teach, not conduct their own research for their careers.

Law School and its education program is what its best known for. But even though those are the fields its known for it has exceptionally good placement for all its other majors.

Dana

This school is known for representing a high level of professionalism. These teachers, professor can actually teach from personally experience because they actually have businesses and have studied specifically in that field of study. Because I don't see too many professors teaching from hands on experience, this school really caught my eye. I enjoy having teachers whom can teach through curriculum and then be able to tell stories in which relate to the topic at hand. When someone can do that, they have my undivided attention and spirit of motivation.
