Our school is in the middle of Chicago, so people may not notice that what they are looking at are dorm rooms, classrooms, or the workout facility. All of DePaul's buildings are brick, so they can easily be mistaken for business buildings. Once you are on campus, there is a quad which connects U - Hall, the John T. Richardson Library, the SAC, and McGowan Science Buildings. Here, you see students playing football, frisbee, or any outdoor activity hosted by DePaul. On the other side of the SAC and Library, there is a brand new building called Arts and Letters Hall, which is absolutely beautiful! Next to that is the Student Center where students hang out, get something to eat, or check their mail. DePaul is beautiful in all seasons, but you should definitely check it out during the Fall, the leaves are so pretty!

Heather

My typical way of describing DePaul is that it is nestled in a leafy area of Chicago, heavily populated by young couples with dogs and babies and gross amounts of Chicago city students. To be honest, its a fantastic neighborhood, and you can easily see the main part of campus within it. Our library, Student Center, Fitness Center as well as our new English Building are most prominent, built in red-brick roughly three stories tall. It gives the feel of a state school campus, but on a much smaller scale. Its only an eight minute walk from one end of the Lincoln-Park campus to the other. But its area shouldn't be misleading as we have several thousand students. Most, however, do not live on campus, but around it, due to the pleasant neighborhood and friendly atmosphere. You may not notice at first that you are even on a collegiate campus, until you step foot in or walk past our quad. Although small in size, it often hosts free student events or has several groups studying on the grassy haven. The campus is frequented with students going back and forth between classes or out to lunch at the student center. And although our buildings are clearly marked, DePaul is still incorporated into the city seamlessly. You get the small campus feel while still being in the big city. Which, to me, is the best of both worlds.

Alex

DePaul's Lincoln Park campus sites amidst tree-lined streets with beautiful brownstone houses and lovely gardens in every direction. Most of the streets are quiet and students intermingle with residents on a daily basis. Most of our buildings are large and beautifully constructed, but are four stories tall at a maximum, which makes for a comfortable, community type feel that isn't utilitarian at all. On a week day, the sidewalks and buildings are hustling and bustling with people of all ages and colors and there is always an event going on in the quad or the student center.
