Great!!
Denison's facilities are overall pretty great, the library is nice if you want to socialize or study, you just have to find the right places. All of the class rooms are really nice with comfortable chairs in most of them.

Okay...
Good Price, and freshman are allowed to have cars, but cannot park anywhere near their dorms. Everyone knows someone with a car, so if you have to go somewhere, you can find someone.

I LOVE Denison.
Denison is a great school with challenging academics, a small student body, and enough things to do to keep you busy. There is always something going on around campus, and Columbus is close enough if you want some big-city fun.

Safe Campus
Denison is a very safe campus. I never feel threatened walking around after dark, and I grew up in a very small town. After visiting Ohio State, I have grown even fonder of the safe atmosphere here at Denison.

Pretty Good
Most people have their own Mac Book Pro, but a few have PC's, the lab's are pretty nice, and the college provides you with a print allowance that is reasonable. The whole campus is wireless, and the connection is fast in most areas.

Not Huge, but Present
Denison attracts scholar athletes, so academics are what Denison is most proud of, but sports are still pretty big on campus. A lot of people I know are on some sort of team ranging from club to varsity sports. School spirit is nothing compared to my high school, but people do attend games, since it is free for students.

On Campus Only
If you're under 21, on-camups is your only option. Over 21 there is one bar in town (Brews, Too). Girls can get into pretty much every party on campus (other than closed greek-life mixers) but guys may have a harder time if not affiliated with the fraternity or sports team hosting the party. Parties are held in suite rooms and apartments on campus.

Not a Necessity, but an Option
Greek life is great for people who want to participate in that sort of thing, but if it's not for you, you can still have a social life, and there are many other options to keep you occupied.

Interesting Classes, Pretty High Workload
The amount of work you have in pretty high, but manageable. Classes are engaging and usually interesting to go to. Denison attracts great speakers who greater enrich your experience

Denison Community Association (DCA)
DCA is a great way to get involved with community service at Denison and in the surrounding communities. There are tons of different organizations that allow you to help others in a way that interests you, ranging from Big Brothers Big Sisters, to Drama programs, to Legal Service, to Habitat for Humanity, to off campus service trips. Also, if you find another organization that interests you, feel free to start it up!
