Thoughts on DePauw University in Greencastle?

Hey, I've recently seen some good reviews about DePauw University in Greencastle, and I'm intrigued. I’d love to hear from someone who has firsthand experience, specifically about their academics and campus life.

a year ago

DePauw University has strong liberal arts and sciences programs, and they have a rich history dating back to the 19th century. From an academic standpoint, DePauw is well-regarded for its ethics, environmental science, and communication departments. They also have a reputable School of Music if that's something you are interested in.

The student-faculty ratio at DePauw is 9:1, which means you would likely have access to small, interactive classes and be able to engage and collaborate with both professors and classmates. Many students have mentioned that the professors at DePauw are supportive and eager to see their students succeed.

As for campus life, I can tell you that DePauw is a residential college, meaning a majority of students live on campus. There's a robust social life, with a notable portion of the student body participating in Greek life. That said, there’s also a wide variety of student organizations, sports, and events outside of Greek life.

DePauw University's campus is described as beautiful and inspiring by many students. The university is located in Greencastle, Indiana, a small town that offers a friendly, close-knit community feel. However, if you're looking for hectic, city-like vibes, you might not find them here. Keep in mind that Indianapolis is about an hour away if you crave a more urban environment from time to time.

While this is a brief overview, I would recommend reaching out to current students or alumni to receive more detailed and personal insights into DePauw University. Bear in mind to evaluate any college or university based on how well it matches your particular interests and future plans.
