You have to live on campus freshman and sophomore year. The only problem about finding housing junior year is that you will most likely be abroad for the fall. Besides that, housing is really easy and totally worth it.

The food is pretty good compared to most universities. Compared to public universities like UW Madison and California schools, it's amazing. It's better than the private school cafs, too, like Marquette, Whitman, and Georgetown. The dining halls are pretty good. Desserts are awesome, and the staff is super friendly, too.

I absolutely love DU. My years here have been some of the best of my life and, unlike high school, I do not want to graduate. The people are nice and fun, the campus is lively and exactly the perfect distance from the city life in Denver. Classes are small, and professors are almost always well experienced and respected professionals in their fields. They care about their students and in a lot of cases bother to learn their names. I am a transfer student who came to DU my sophomore year, and if I could do one thing different, it would be to have come to DU my freshman year.

As far as I've heard, off-campus housing really isn't that bad and should be fairly convenient. Although I still live on campus this year, I do plan on living off next year and have heard that it's not that hard finding an apartment. Personally I would recommend living on campus the first two years, then finding an off-campus apartment around junior year.

The food is pretty good. I mean, it's college, so you can't expect fantastic food. The dining halls aren't too bad, but they do get boring and tasteless after a while. There is an on campus "pub" that is actually delicious. I find myself eating there for dinner a couple times a week. A new dorm building on campus also has a few food options, and they have some pretty good Mexican food.

The school actually has a two year on-campus requirement unless you join a Greek house and opt to live there, or if you are a commuter student, so students aren't looking for housing until after their sophomore years. There are lots of houses for rent around the campus area---apartments as well---but you definitely pay a premium for being close to campus. The nicer apartments in the area are pretty expensive, so many students find their best bet is to find several friends and get a house together.

The food here sucks. It's getting better, but there is definitely not enough variety, and places to eat close early. There is nowhere on campus that is open for some sort of sustenance 24 hours a day, which most students wish they really had and most other schools do have. They definitely need higher quality food at DU and a lot more variety in the food that they serve. Most students dread eating dorm food and can't wait until they no longer have to eat the food provided by Sodexo.

Food on campus is great becasue there are so many options. The dining halls on campus use top-quality food from Sodexo and do a decent job with variety. There are a bunch of other places on campus to get food that range from quick and easy to sit-down-and-take-your-time. Even still, the food becomes mundane and old, and when that happens, there are a ton of great places to eat within walking distance off campus. From the first Chipotle ever, to subs (Subway/Quiznos), to pizza, to restaurants, there is a multitude of places and food to eat.

The food is OK. There is definitely a variety of options in the dining halls. Nagel, which just opened, is probably the most popular because they have a pizza bar and a Mexican bar. There are little stores located around campus to use meal plan cash at if you want to buy like chips and stuff like that. There are also little stands in almost every building to buy snacks and drinks.

Food on campus is pretty decent, and there are quite a few choices considering what a small campus we have. There are two dining halls, and then there is the Pub, which has normal pub food, and the Commons, which is really popular for custom sandwiches and salads at lunch. There is also Jazzman's for coffee, pastries, and quick snacks, and one dorm has a food court that is also really popular.

They are very strict about pot, but not so much with everything else. It seems random people get picked to go to detox, but they can't get everyone who's drunk. First time offenders get a letter home and a blemish on their record, and they must attend a class. Second offenders get put on probation and third offenders get expelled. Very few people get caught for drugs and maybe 10 go to detox every year. In the dorms, it also depends on who your RA is. Some will write you up and some let you get away with just about anything.

If you live in the dorms, and you have to for two years, you have an extremely high chance of getting caught drinking, doing drugs, etc., if you are into those things. Once you leave the dorms, though, there is little chance of getting caught doing anything just because there are no RAs checking up on you every five minutes. Living in the dorms is an essential experience in college, but by the time you're knee-deep in sophomore year, there is nothing too exciting about dorm life.

It depends on your taste, I guess. I would give the girls a high mark because tomboys that double as hotties are kinda my thing. Sometimes looks can be deceiving. There are a lot of girls who have that 'shallow' look on the surface, but when you get to know them, they are really cool and down-to-earth.
