This school is great all around especially academically and socially.

1st term profs were from the University of Michigan, Georgetown, and Stanford. Outstand facilities & opportunities. I can have lunch 1-2 times a week with business leaders. Alums include Founder of ESPN, VP Dan Quayle, CEO of General Mills Greg Harmening, Founder of Angie's List Angie Hix, and Fox New Anchor Brett Baier--just to name a few.

I love this school, I couldn't ask for a better college experience.
Overall 4.5
I love this school so much. Whenever I'm on breaks, all I want is to be back on campus. The minute I came to depauw I had this feeling I was home, and it still is here. I honestly didn't care about any of the other colleges I was so interested in after visiting the school.

I love DePauw. Greek life is huge here and there is a "DePauw bubble" that will suck you in. The campus is secluded and everyone here knows everyone else.

The people here are amazing... no matter who you are. Ok, we are the only school on the Top Ten Party School list to have 2,500 students, when everyone else has at least 10,000. I think that says something. School work has to be done though. Your getting a terrific education while having the time of your life.

If you are not interested in Greek life, go somewhere else. The place is 70% Greek. The place is rather insular to the point of where you feel you are being suffocated. I would recommend looking elsewhere.
Overall 1.8
The majority acts like they're in high school, clinging to their "own" and not open to others, to say the least. There is a large group of open-minded, awesome people on campus as well, but many of those people are the ones suffering the most on campus, likely because of the majority's behavior...
