What's the most frustrating thing about DePaul University?

Jasmine

The most frustrating thing about DePaul is when breaks come and the Students Ventra Card are shut off. This is the most frustrating because I am a student who has to commute every where, by taking away the thing that helps me pay for transportation it causes serious complications.

The most frustrating thing about my school would have to be the tuition. Although I am aware that it is a private school, tutition is almost 34,000 a year. Being a student in financial needs makes it hard for me to attend a university that is that costly, but I will do whatever it takes to be able to attend Depaul. I will fully take advantage of grants and loans to be able to succeed at DePaul.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that on fridays the library closes too early.

One important aspect that DePaul University lacks is community. Although DePaul is a division one school, it does not have a football team and all other sports do not gain much student interest. This may have to do with the several professional sports teams in Chicago that have tons of appeal. Also, the university consists of over 25,000 students. The large size of DePaul can be quite aggravating when it comes to registering for courses. It is very difficult to compete with thousands of people over a class that holds a maximum of fifty people.

Charlotte

The most frustrating thing is to find a job on campus, and to find nearby, cheap apartments. Just balancing everything is a struggle, but there are so many local businesses that could hire you, and there is so much public transport, so there is hope. As for apartments, I can't help you there. I'm still living on campus.

When I think of DePaul, nothing frustrating about it comes to mind except the fact that everything is so expensive, but I think that applies to most, if not all, colleges.

Denice

The most frustating thing about DePaul is the cost of tuition. Even with grant and aid, it is still very difficult to support your education at DePaul. It is also very frustating at DePaul's lack of commitment to their students, especially when students need another route to finish their degree. DePaul is very stern on their degree progress, and offer little help when a student is seeking other ways to complete their degree.

The downtown campus does not have a parking lot for DePaul students. Also, tuition is rather expensive.

The residence hall adminnistator in my building.

Professors here are great for the most part, but of course there are outliers. I know that I am a student and thus not exactly an equal. By no means, though, do I consider myself or any other student here arbitray or expendable. Some professors are non responsive to questions or are just genuinely apathetic. Tuition is too high to tolerate any amount of that kind of treatment.
