I transferred from this school after two miserable years and ended up much happier at a state school. If you did not go to a boarding school or private school for high school, Denison is not for you. Denison is quite literally a glorified boarding school- you are stuck on the Hill with nowhere to go and live in crappy dorms all four years. The Brownstones are falling apart. There are two total bars in Granville- don't expect to go until you're an upperclassman. They're weirdly gatekept by all of the Greek members. There is nothing surrounding the school where you can escape. Greek life is everything, which I did not know before attending. I chose Denison after attending a highly regarded public high school coming from an extremely middle class family. I decided on Denison for the athletics (their lacrosse teams are good), but quickly realized all of my teammates cared more about Greek life than competing or being a team. I have never seen more rampant hard drug use and binge drinking in my life. In the two years I attended, I had two separate acquaintances get arrested for drug related offenses by the Granville Police. One literally spent six months in county jail (I wish I was joking) and the other got a DUI. I genuinely liked the school until I decided not to rush for Greek life and I was immediately outcast. Everything on campus revolves around Greek life. I will say the academics were outstanding and class sizes were very small, but this depends on your major and course selection. My advice? Go literally anywhere else.

Denison is a great school for academics as well as on-campus opportunities. But, one of Denison's biggest strengths is the student- faculty relationships. Professors really care and make an effort to personally get to know the students. I got to know teachers by running into them at lectures, concerts and arts events where we talked and shared common interests. Moreover, professors at Denison are always willing and available to help me if I was struggling academically.

I would encourage myself to truly consider the location of the school and the liberal arts atmosphere more. I feel as, though I have assimilated well on campus, I may have grown more and defined myself as an individual more on a larger campus that could have offered me more diversity than my present school does. The main point I would stress to myself in high school would be: DO NOT BE AFRAID TO BREAK OUT OF YOUR BUBBLE! I would also avise myself that not every hiccup along the way is bad- it truly defines who you will become.
Denison students are dedicated to education, and dedicated to building lasting relationships with each other and the school.
I am a Psychology and Spanish double major. I've had some really interesting and challenging classes within and outside of my majors. The profs are for the most part wonderful. Most of them are very down to earth and personable. They're very accessible and invested in their students. I've only had a few professors I couldn't stand, but luckily there aren't many on campus. My only complaint is that some classes are hard to get into. Class sizes are kept small, so the popular classes fill up very quickly and freshman and sophomore year it is kind of difficult to get all the classes you want.

No, there are lots of nice people on campus. I don't feel any pressure to look a certain way and something like 93% of our student population receive some kind of financial assistance.
Denison does a wonderful job of organizing activities and events on campus. We are constantly having comedians, concerts, movies, plays and other social activities. We have several large concerts throughout the year and several campus wide events. There are trips to chicago, washinton d.c and philadelphia, sports games and broadway shows. Depending on where you live on campus, the social scene is more prominent. In some resident halls you'll find doors open until late at night and in other dorms doors will be closed an locked. People tend to stay up late during the week doing homework. It's not unusual to be up until 2 every night or pulling all nighters even in the middle of the semester. With so much to do on campus it is easy to procrastinate.
The best thing about Denison is our sense of community. It's a small school, approximately 2,100 students and completely residential. Everyone is on campus all the time and there is a lot of interaction between students. On the way to class you'll always see people you know. The town of Granville is quaint, but not very active. There are two bars and a really good frozen custard place, but not much else. Even though there is not much to do in town there is always lots going on on campus and Columbus isn't far away either.
Denison had small classes and unique opportunities for service learning and work study within the community. At Denison I was able to do work study in the community at a local non-profit for at-risk adolescents instead of working in an administration office or library at the school. I appreciated the opportunity to make a difference in the community while paying for my education.
There is no real "off-campus" since we are located in a small city town in rural Ohio.
The most frustrating thing about my school is that Greek life was such a predominate aspect of many students social life. I personally did not join a sorority and often got frustrated at the difficulty I had in making friends. It seemed that the sororities created cliques in the school and it often felt like the 13th grade of high school. Eventually I found a group of friends who were not associated with a sorority or fraternity. However, not being a part of Greek life seemed to be looked down upon by many students in the school.
I believe someone who is extremely focused upon succeeding and being a part of a small, hands-on community. They should want a classroom atmosphere that places emphasis upon class discussion and heavy involvement, as well as establishing close relationships with professors. Our school really isn't existential, it is very grounded and fundamentalist. They should also be prepared to be encouraged to take many different types of courses- not just the area of study they want to make a career out of. Additionally, they should also want to get involved outside the classroom.
The amount of clubs and organizations that students can take part in. There is a wide variety whereas everybody can find an extracurricular activity and a group to feel comfortable in.
Someone who is driven and willing to learn and accept different ideas and viewpoints. Be able to make your own fun because there is not a lot to do around town.
It's good reputation and high caliber students both socially and academically. The professors are excellent, they are experienced and among the best in their fields and capable professors as well.
