Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Most students who come to Denison absolutely love it. While some students find it a mediocre experience, very few would say they hate it. The quality of education is exceptional, and that alone is enough to convince some students that Denison is the place where they belong. A lot of people also fall in love with the intimate atmosphere that seems to pervade the University. Not only do you live among your peers, but most people are also friends with their professors, which results in a feeling of belonging. No one can deny that being good-naturedly teased by their professor doesn’t engender feelings of acceptance. A lot of students also value the safety of the campus. Those students that are unhappy with Denison are generally unhappy with the social scene, lack of diversity, or the exceptional work load. However, your happiness at college is largely a choice. No matter where you go, you will find problems, and you’ll deal with them. Nowhere is perfect.

No matter how fed-up students may get sometimes, no one can claim that the academic opportunities at Denison aren’t amazing, and that the atmosphere isn’t unique. Those that want wild college years can find them, and those that don’t can find that, too. The atmosphere is far from that of a big city, and that is a large portion of Denison’s appeal. It may not be a wild metropolis, but it is exciting in its own way.

I'm new to Denison I don't start classes till August 28 2010, but I have to say the people I have met are amazing. The students that I met during June-O are some of the brights and most creative people I have met in my whole life. So what I want to say is that if you are looking at Denison talk to the students and teachers of this fine school and you'll see something that will change your view of people forever.

Yum, Puke?

C

Drinking on campus seems to be the thing to do. Sometimes the drinking is done in good taste, and sometimes that yummy taste quickly turns into smelly puke (all over Both toilet seats in my floor's bathroom one weekend). Neither weekend nights nor weekday days are immune to the fun of a tipsy buzz. I am not, on the other hand, as familiar with the other drug scene, so, for that, I cannot relay any information.

I'd Rather Not Rather Dine in

C

Given the fact that I eat hundreds of meals in a school year, I would prefer to be able to dine off campus every once in awhile. The problem is that the options are very limited, and the restaurants that do exist in town, though they are of very nice quality, are exceedingly expensive considering my minimal income as a student. Also, they are not open late when the study-hunger sets in. Therefore, I have nowhere to eat to fuel my all-nighters, which can be a letdown.

I have to admit, however, that the ice cream place, Whit's, is super superb.
