Denison University
- Academics

I LOVE my classes

I graduated from an extremely rigorous high school so I expected work at Denison to be pretty chill; however, classes at Denison turned out to be very challenging and academically stimulating. My classes were very demanding as well as exciting! All of my professors were interesting and the small class size made clases very engaging. The professors all really care about their students and their classes; one professor, who use to teach at Georgetown and Northwestern, told us in class one day that he decided to teach at Denison because he saw that all the professors at Denison actually liked their students. In large universities, many professors teach classes as a side-job since they mainly focus on their individual experiments and projects; however, Denison professors are genuinely focused to teach and interact with students at a liberal arts institute. That particular professor has been teaching for more than 10 years at Denison now, which goes to show that Denison academics ROCKS.

Surprisingly Challenging

I expected Denison to be challenging, but there is always work to be done. But it's not always such a bad thing. Sometimes you get really passionate about a subject in class and are actually excited to read/write about it or talk about it with your professor. Professors love talking to students outside class for the most part. Denison boasts some of the best academics in the country and I have been challenged to think like I never have before.
