Denison Tries
The campus is mainly white and rich, but there are pockets of different races and economic classes. The university tries very hard to reach out to all types of groups from gender to ethnicity to religion to sexual orientation. Organizations promote open dialogue when it comes to diversity and challenges certain groups may face.

Squashing Campus Fun
Denison seems to be making a strong effort to crack down on campus parties. Since all housing is on campus, there are not many party options besides dorm rooms and apartments. The few houses we had are being taken away by the administration. There is one bar in town which is very popular, and another restaurant just opened up a lounge which offers another option. Students must get creative when trying to have fun.

Tons of Aid
Denison gives a lot of money in financial aid. I have very few friends who are actually paying full tuition. The process for applying for merit scholarships is very easy and straight forward.

Cute If Somewhat Dull Town
Granville is a beautiful with small town charm. It's very safe, but can also be dull because of how small it is. However, Columbus and Easton are fairly close so when we need more to do, we go there.

Greek and Love It
From the perspective of a Greek member, it seems as though Greek organizations dominate the social scene. Many on and off campus parties are hosted by Greeks. Greek members are also super involved in other areas of campus so our visibility is pretty widespread. There is no Greek housing, so it isn't as exclusive as it might be at other schools. Also, the administration seems to dislike the Greek organizations and they are making everything more difficult for us. While I believe Greek life is a great way to get more involved and provides a lot of social outlets, non-Greeks say that you can still have a social life and be an independent.

Drinking, Smoking, Studying
Like most campuses, alcohol is everywhere. Supposedly there are people on campus who don't drink, but I have no idea where they go on weekends. I would say the second most used drug on campus is either weed or study drugs. Harder drugs are less prevalent, but every once in a while when you're out you might walk in on people doing lines of cocaine.
