Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Students generally enjoy their time at DU and are content staying for four years. Classes are interesting, professors are friendly, and the campus is in the middle of a growing, energetic city. Social life at DU is varied and engaging, and students often say the best part of their time at DU has been the memories and friends they’ve made.

Some students complain that DU lacks diversity, and they say that the campus is too small, there’s not enough school spirit, and it’s too expensive. Some can’t wait to get away on the weekends to go party or attend football games at CU Boulder or CSU. Others are looking for more of an academic challenge in their college careers. DU offers a nice balance of academia and partying. If you’re looking to dedicate your college years solely to developing your career and learning as much as you can, DU probably isn’t the place for you. If you want to learn, but also want to have some fun in the process, DU might be the perfect fit.

Good Greeks

Greek is awesome at Denver and is becoming bigger and bigger each year. There are 8 Fraternities: Kappa Sigma, Sigma Chi, Lambda Chi Alpha, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Zeta Beta Tau, Theta Chi, Beta Theta Pi, and Phi Kappa Sigma. For Sororities there are 5: DG, DZ, Tri delta, Alpha Phi, and Gamma Phi. They are all growing as Greek life at Denver is becoming larger every year.
