Idk if I can continue. She goes here too, idk if I can keep going. Sorry guys

I'm an incoming freshman but due to being a little late to buy one, I will not have a laptop until one week after the quarter begins. I do have a pc at my house and was planning on using that in the meantime for any homework that gets assigned, so I'm mainly wondering about actually having one in class.

I'm a bio major so I will have a bio & chem lecture + lab, the freshman chicago class, and a philosophy lecture throughout that first week. Is there any reason to be worried about needing a laptop on hand in class or will just notebooks and my phone work for now?

Thinking about applying for the winter session of either DePauls business strategy and decision making program orrrrr their Marketing one. But wondering if it’s hard to get into? Went to business school for undergrad and got an okay/decent gpa. (Sorry if this is a dumb question)

Hi everyone!!!

I’m an incoming junior transfer potentially coming from Austin to DePaul this fall, and I wanted to hear from current students or recent grads about what the experience is actually like.

I’m trying to figure out housing right now. Where do junior/transfer students usually live? Is it common for upperclassmen to still live on campus, or would you recommend getting an apartment, if yes where and how much? (Preferably the cheapest but also most convenient.) I’d really like to be somewhere social where I can meet people since I’ll be coming in as a super late transfer. 

I’m also curious about the overall culture at DePaul. Is it easy to make friends as a transfer? Do people actually hang out around campus, or is it more of a commuter-school vibe? What do students usually do on weekends? Also, if you were a Junior transfer, what was your experience like?

I’ll also be in the College of Communication, so I’d love to hear from anyone in that college. What are the professors, classes, workload, internships, and overall experience like? I’m especially interested in hearing from Communication/PR/Advertising students.

Basically, anything you wish you knew before transferring to DePaul would be really helpful — housing, social life, classes, clubs, making friends, Chicago life, etc.

Thanks!!

Hello,
I am undergoing an online bachelors degree in business. But I have few Sophia/ACE Credit Courses on my bachelors transcripts.
Would I be accepted for Masters at DePaul?

I tried contacting support but got kinda confusing response.

First was this " Sophia credit is not something that we would accept, regardless of it being on your transcript with a bachelor’s degree.

Please let me know if you have any questions."

Later, "Apologies for the misunderstanding, you may still be eligible for acceptance in DePaul’s Master’s programs, but the Sophia credits will not satisfy any pre-requisite requirements and they would not be accepted for any credit."

Would really appreciate any experiences and suggestions from the community.
As I have still have time to back-out from the Online Degree Program im doing but would delay my schedule alot.

TIA

I’m wondering if anyone has had a balance with DePaul University that was eventually sent to collections and was still able to finish their degree.
I’m close to finishing my degree, but I currently have an outstanding balance with DePaul. I’m concerned about what happens if the balance gets sent to collections and whether that would prevent me from registering for my remaining classes or graduating.
If anyone has been in a similar situation, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience and what options DePaul gave you.

Hi guys!

I was just curious how common is it for people to set timers and leave their laundry running?

Or do people at depaul typically stay with their items?

I just want to know because I've heard mixed opinions.

I was just looking at my schedule again for the first time since I enrolled and my classes on Monday and Tues/Thurs are showing me a time conflict because there are classes each of those days that are only ten minutes apart. Everything is on the same campus and my advisor said it's fine, but that was before I received info on the locations and I'd like some reassurance from a student who has had this kind of thing that it's possible. I'm not so worried about Monday because those are in the same building, but the ones on Tues/Thurs are in neighboring buildings and I assume different floors. Is that too much? I am transferring from another university and at my old place there were times when I needed to be early to a class and I couldn't do that with this schedule without leaving a different one early. Also are exams on a separate schedule than classes? I just don't want to be late especially for important tests and I have zero experience living in a city like this and I reeeeally don't want to have to rearrange my whole schedule this late in the game. Idk these quarter system schedules just seem so hectic and difficult...

Hi! I’m looking for advice on realistic transfer options.
I’m currently pursuing a B.S. in Biology and completed my first two years at a Canadian university. I will apply as a U.S. permanent resident.
I have 51 earned credits and a 66.33% cumulative average on the Canadian grading scale. I have two failed courses, Cell Biology and Statistics(Stats was later retaken and passed whereas I didn’t retake Cell Biology).
My long-term goal is medical school, so I’m looking for a reputable but affordable university where I can improve my GPA and complete my pre-med requirements. I’m mainly interested in Illinois/Chicago and nearby areas, but I’m open to other options.
What universities would I have a genuinely high chance of getting into with this profile?
Thanks!

hi! I got assigned to university centre in the loop but I want Lincoln Park. Is there anyway I can get Lincoln Park housing? I've heard the university centre area is dangerous and full of crime and isn't walkable so I'm stuck😞

these are the following courses i’m taking my first quarter as a incoming freshman finance major:

bus 101,lsp111, scwr150, and mgt300

I’m coming in with about 70 credits already done and I have eco 105,106, and mat 137 already completed. If there’s any professors I should be aware of in these classes please let me know

Hi everyone,

I got accepted to DePaul for the master's in Computer Science and I'm trying to figure out if it's the right choice for me. I already have a bachelor's in Software Engineering.

I looked around online but the opinions were pretty mixed, so I wanted to hear from people who actually went there or are there right now.

A few things I'm hoping to learn:

• How are the studies? Are the classes good and do you actually learn useful stuff?
• What is campus life like?
• What kind of opportunities are there? Things like internships, clubs, career fairs, and help with finding jobs.
• How much is the degree respected in the job market? Do employers take it seriously?

And for anyone who already graduated from DePaul: how was your job hunt after you finished? Did the degree help you land something, and how long did it take you?

Any honest input would really help. Thanks a lot.

-shower curtain

Hey everyone! I’m transferring to DePaul this upcoming term and will be taking the Metra into OTC. My classes are all at the Lincoln Park campus, and I’m trying to figure out the most reliable and efficient way to get up there from OTC.
For those who do this commute, what’s your preferred route?

Hi! I’m planning to transfer to DePaul for a B.S. in Biology. I’ve completed my first 2 years of undergrad at a Canadian university and currently have 51 earned credits with a 66.33% cumulative average.

Do you think I have a realistic chance of being accepted as a transfer student?

I received my financial aid package and accepted the offers. But in the account balance charges it says I have no pending financial aid. Is there something I am missing?
