I love going to school at Denison. It was hard with the pandemic, but everyone was pretty careful about social distancing and quarantine. The professors really care about you and want you to do well, even though the work is challenging. The social life is good although I've had to make an effort because of Covid.

I'm a senior and wish I had transferred/gone to another school to begin with. Social life SUCKS and COVID made it even worse. Denison is a major party school even during COVID. I felt isolated and trapped all 4 years. Most people on campus are white and annoying. Not very many people have heard of this tiny school. Food gets really old real fast.

Social life and food sucks. All people do here is party. MAJOR PARTY SCHOOL! Not very much opportunities. Most employers have not even heard of this school.
Overall 1.2
I'm a senior and life sucks here. This school is EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. Professors challenge the students way to hard here and students are always overwhelmed. Not very many clubs except greek life. Not much opportunities here either. Food sucks. A lot of students here are annoying.
Overall 1.3
No one has even ever heard of this school. Many employers haven't. Awful social life and amount of clubs on campus. Only things to do on campus is to join Greek life or sports and go to crazy out of hand parties. Very little opportunities. Food, internet, and dorms suck. Even though they are renovating dorms, they still suck.
Overall 1.3
I am a '21 alum and finding it very difficult obtaining a job because many employers haven't even heard of this small school and preferred if I went to a big school like Ohio state. Weren't many clubs or social life on campus except for sports, greek life, and drinking. There were hardly very many opportunities on campus. Food sucks
Overall 1.3
I graduate this spring 2021 and it seems like there's not very opportunities. I am finding it very difficult to find a job after I graduate. Most jobs have not heard of Denison and wished that I went to a university that had "schools" such as "school of business".
Overall 1.4
Major party school comparable to other bigger school! The only social life on campus is to go party or join greek life or a sport. Not very clubs or events that happen on campus. There is very little diversity on campus. If you are looking for a extremely diverse student body, then go to a bigger city school.
Overall 1.4
Most of the clubs are sport related or fraternities or sororities, so not much else. Wish that this campus's student and faculty body was very much more diverse.
Overall 1.4
Not very many people have heard of this school. Social life sucks. I'm a senior and don't have very many friends. There's a good handful of the students here that act entitled. Not very many opportunities or clubs. Food is decent but becomes repetitive real fast. Even with renovations, dorms aren't the best. Granville is pretty but not much to do.
Overall 1.5
Very little clubs. People only join greek life or sports, so not much else to do. There's not much if any opportunities even with the limited amount of help Denison provided. There's a big handful of professors who are unsupportive and do not get that students are very stressed during these time. Not very impressed with Denison's health prevention
