International Studies and Spanish
The International Studies major is very interesting because there are different concentrations students can pick from (usually 2 or 3) such as International law/organization/human rights, international health and development, international economics, international secutity, etc. All of the classes are extremely interesting and relevent to what is happening in the world today. Study abroad is also a requirement with this major, which is great because it is the best experience ever! The Spanish major is cool because they have internships with schools and organizations in the community which is a great way to practice spanish outside of the classroom.

Financial Aid
I was awarded a merit based scholarship and I know that 80% of students at DU get some sort of scholarship. My advice would be to apply to as many scholarships as possible because although the cost of DU can seem daunting, there is a lot of money out there in the form of scholarships that can make the cost comparable to other universities.

Denver!
Denver is such a fun and lively place to be. Directly surrounding campus are friendly neighborhoods and some really awesome parks where you can exercise, play volleyball, have BBQ's etc. There are some really great local restaurants and coffee shops which can be fun places to study when you are sick of the library! The nearest shopping mall (Cherry Creek) is only a 7 minute drive and downtown Denver is only a 10 minute drive from campus.

Parking
I have gone all four years without a car and have had no trouble. A car can be nice to have if you want to go to the mountains a lot, but all my friends have always had cars so it has not been necessary for me. I would say don't bring a car at first, but if you decide you need one, bring it out after winter break. Saving gas money can be a great thing!But if you do have a car, there are plenty of parking garages to park in, near all the dorms. The prices vary depending on location and if it is underground or not.
