Very beautiful campus, awesome professors
Overall 4.5
Overall I thought UD was great. I had an awesome experience and still consider it a home away from home. Like every school you're going to have profs you don't like but I thought most of the time it was great. Clubs and things are every where if you want to participate in them. Also almost everyone was in a sport so it made things interesting

Beautiful campus. UD really prioritizes how nice campus looks. Social life is good and bad. Really easy to make friends if you're an athlete, but if not, it can be tricky. Food is hit or miss. Heritage is probably the best spot. There are plenty of opportunities to get a job in Dubuque. I love the Dubuque area and would recommend the school!

Overall a beautiful campus, tuition is kind of expensive but the professors here really care about the students and really get you involved. I was a transfer student from a community college, most of my credits only transferred as electives so I am retaking classes I already have taken for them to count and taking classes that even did count.

Expensive but decent

I chose this campus for many reasons but one being the cleanliness. Many colleges are getting old and gross but this one still feels new and inviting!
