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.
