Greek Life at University of Denver

A

Greek Life

Greek life is pretty big since its not a very big school and almost 1/4 of the students are greek. Greek life is responsible for a decent amount of the parties that go on especially during winter quarter. Lambda Chi Alpha, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, and Sigma Chi are the main ones that have parties consistently at both the fraternity houses and at off campus housing. Most greek students have friends outside of their fraternity/sorority and most guys in fraternities are not like stereotypical ass**** that most people immediately think of. Girls in sororities are either really cool or really bitchy, just depends which ones you meet.

Drug Safety at University of Denver

B+

DRUGS

Seriously, its college. Everything is available if you know who to go to. If you count weed and alcohol as drugs, they're pretty big, but you dont need to smoke and drink to fit in. I know a bunch of people who smoke and drink and who dont smoke and drink and its not a problem, nobody really tries to pressure people into doing stuff they dont want to do. As for hardcore drugs, they are there if you really want them, but most students here stick to smoking weed and drinking alcohol.

Campus Strictness at University of Denver

A

Campus Safety

Du isn't too strict. Yes campus safety will take you to detox if you puke in the lobby, a public bathroom, or are found passed out on the side of the road, but if you're just happily intoxicated they wont care unless you try to piss them off. In general, don't be a f******* idiot about it and you'll be fine. BTW if you need to puke at your dorm, don't go in the bathroom if RA's have access to it. Be smart, get one of your garbage cans, stay in your room, and puke in there. It will save everyone involved a tone of work and stress, plus you wont need to explain it to your parents. As for parties being broken up, it does happen if neighbors get pissed off, but nobody gets in trouble, they just leave and usually go to the bars. As for drugs, if you are dumb enough to smoke in your room, you could get caught, otherwise you're fine. I would suggest an air tight jar and a locked safe that the university cant access because then even if they do smell it, they cant get to it so you cant get in trouble.

Health & Safety at University of Denver

A+

Safety

There is not very much crime here, yes a girl will occasionally get their but pinched by some random guy who seems to love doing that, but otherwise you're fine. I can honestly say i feel completely safe at all times when I'm on or near campus.

Campus Housing at University of Denver

A-

Housing

Can't complain about housing. The dorms are actually pretty nice. Towers is where most athletes live and each suit has a kitchen and bathroom you share with 3 other people, the walk everywhere is a bitch. Halls (freshmen only) has a tone of people, community bathrooms, some coed floors, and a dinning hall, but the walk to the science buildings is a bitch. Nagel and Nelson are both incredibly nice with a bathroom and kitchen to share with 3 other people and both have great locations. Jmac (freshmen only) has all code floors, community bathrooms and the best location on campus, unless you're going to the light rail or a sports game.
