Said it all already. But know that anyone can find their niche at the school because of the broad array of people.

I love it.

You really get what the stereotype is here, unless you try REALLY hard you can do your own thing, but it typically segregates you to a small minority.

Uh... the food is pretty good. We have a Taco Bell ;)

Denison is sometimes irritatingly small, and because of high academic demands few students rarely skip class. Maybe because of that, students can become egotistic because of academic accomplishments, which is highly undesirable. Students always dress nice to go to class as well: not much of the sweatpants and old T-shirt attire. The library is a fantastic resource. Lastly, Denison is college that I love because I am free to chose my life and my actions, and I feel that there are many opportunities that have presented themselves because of my attending the universities.

Explore the Homestead! The ecological community in the woods behind campus. It is beautiful, they do great things, and they have great parties...the best on campus!

Denison is an experience and those that know and know what to expect from it will love it. Those that come with no clue about Denison will be in for a treat.

As a young professor, I'm lucky to have gone to Denison because I have an instant pantheon of role models. The professors care very much about student success, yet hold students to high standards. Now that I'm on the other side of the desk I appreciate how truly difficult that is. One thing that is fabulous about Denison academically is the financial support for undergraduate research. I've gotten a lot of perspective after teaching at a few different places and Denison really has a very robust research program for a college that size.

I think I only know a handful of students whose parents aren't doctors or lawyers. Most of them went to private or boarding school and come from wealthy backgrounds. That being said, Denison is like mini California. The majority of the student body is liberal, and that's perfectly fine, but there is an INSANE minority that gives the rest of them a bad name. These are the students who protest absolutely everything, accuse everyone of being racist, and claim to be fighting for freedom of speech and opinion while they're actually stopping anyone else from saying a word for fear of getting bludgeoned to death.

Proffessors know your name--it's like in highschool, only class sizes are even smaller. My first semester classes ranged 10-20 ppl. Favourite class-German, cuz I like to learn languages. I also liked FYS English, cuz I learned how to write papers really well. Physics 125 was pretty damn interesting, eye opening. Economics seems handy and interesting, I M MAJORING IN IT. Class participation is very, very, very, very common. Youre graded on it. Yeah, people, do have academic/intellectual conversation outside school! You'd be surprised, people do get into it a lot. Competitive--in Swimming, YES. We're gonna beat Kenyon, at least at Conference. Most unique class---So far, probably, Cinema, fun, interesting, lots-of-work class. You have to use actual 16mm cameras and real film stock--nice, but a load of work. would have never had anything like that in High school. Don't really hang out with the professors too much. Denison's academic requirements are really subtle--in my opinion. I didn't worry about fulfilling them my freshman year, but when I checked, I alreaady had most of them. Education, so far to me, seems geared for learning for learning's sake. The internships and the good-sounding majors get you that job you wanted. But otherwise it seems to me lots of people go on to grad-school.

Granville, the town Denison is in, is wonderful. Although it is small, it has pretty much all you could need. It looks like a small New England town planted in Ohio, and the relationship between the college and the town is very good. Denison is not very well known outside of Ohio, but that doesn't mean it's not a good school or that you shouldn't go there. Anyone that DOES know Denison knows that it's a great school. Denison's campus is beautiful. And you can walk anywhere on campus. In my opinion, it's the perfect size. Fall is the best season at Denison because from the hill you can see all of the leaves changing.

I lock my room door, but I know people who do not. Nobody i know has had any experience with theft. There is always someone awake in the dorm, studying in the lounge or cooking in the kitchen, doing something. The party scene is not the best, because we are a small school. All parties are the same, and cliques tend to stick together and make their own fun, rather than throw all-out bashes.

This stereotype is not accurate at all.

On some level, they do have truth to them, there is a particular type of student who thrives at Denison, however their economic status or what they wear has nothing to do with it. Denison students are motivated, caring, people.

Denison has great academics but the campus environment is terrible, the environment is rampant with homophobia, sexism, classims, and racism, the administration also tries to hide incidents that occur on campus
