DePaul University Top Questions

Sometimes I feel like the school only helps you when you're just starting out, but not in the end.

The most frustrating this about my school is the somewhat lack of advising when it comes to questions about you majour. I was struggling with trying to figure out what were the next steps in order for me to get into grad school. It was a little harder to get ahold of the woman that was advising me and when I did get an appointment I was left confused.

The most frustrating thing coming to DePaul, from Iowa, was the lack of instruction for a big city. Chicago is a huge city, with plenty to offer, for which I know now, but when I first came I did not know how to get around and what I was interested in. The sometimes lax community of DePaul facilitates a lot of the loneliness. I wish that I had cgotten involved earlier, because once I found my place at DePaul it was easy to see that anyone could fit in and find their niche.

There are several campuses and several buildings. Make sure you have a map if you are new to the area or else you might get lost.

Sometimes it can be difficult getting a straight answer from the different offices around campus. Since it is a fairly large school there is a large staff and people can sometimes tell you different things in different places.

The weather for most of the school year sucks.

The most frustrating thing at my school is the bookstore because the people that work there do not necessarily know what they are doing.

Getting back in the groove of school is not easy for an adult learner. I feel that the professors should be a little bit more understanding to students that do not remember the 8th grade grammar rules and each professor should understand adult learners are going to be invading the campus more and more each year.

The class scheduale and the transportation to school from home when living outside the city limits.

The most frustrating thing about this school is getting different answers to the same question when asking information.
