Dayton, OH
University of Dayton

It's a great school that is all about community. Everyone is very welcoming which makes it easy to make friends. You can expect to know at least a couple of people in each class and most professors will know you by name due to the smaller class sizes. You can email most professors if you can't go to their scheduled office hours and they'll set up an extra meeting time for you. Food is good compared to most schools and has a lot of choices. Housing is close to campus and very convenient for classes and campus life.

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to help better the world around me. Although, I had hopes of attending OSU in the autumn of 2018, I was drawn to the University of Dayton due to the generous amount of financial help offered to me. Ultimately, after spending almost a full academic year at the University of Dayton, I have come to realize that my life decisions should not be driven by financial need, but by passion. The University of Dayton didn't feel like "home," even though I am a Dayton native. People were not the friendliest, professors were mediocre. In comparison to the University of Dayton, I feel as if OSU would provide a more motivating, supportive environment, pushing me to reach my full academic potential, and goals for helping others. English never failed to be my most successful subject in areas including the ACT and CCP courses. My English teachers also found me to be a reliable student who thoroughly understood the material enough to assist them, and explain it to my classmates. My ability to excel in this subject led me to discover a career that I am passionate about and able to execute well. With this, I am confident in successfully preparing myself at The Ohio State University to be a future educator. The Ohio State University, as previously presented, pairs well with my initiative in preparing to help others in my future career. I find my success in helping others, while others may find their biggest successes to be those that primarily benefit themselves. I aspire to add to the supportive, and motivating, environment I believe the university embodies.

I absolutely love the school. The best word to describe it is community which is a compliment and sincere appreciation of the neighborhood that is built on campus. Whenever people ask about my college I do not stop smiling in describing the amazing things UD offers.

I love the University of Dayton! UD was three hours away from home, but made me feel at home everyday that I was there. I recently graduated in December 2018, and being away from UD has been so hard for me. However, I am extremely grateful for the amazing friends that I have made, and the incredible professors that I have made connections with. Go flyers!!

Overall, I am in love with my university. I could not imagine myself going literally anywhere else because it legitimately feels like a second home to me. I am so happy with the people surrounding me not only educationally, but also relationally. The atmosphere is something indescribable and unlike any other college campus. I have yet to meet one person attending or has attended the University of Dayton that does not have only good things to say about it.

UD is honestly a great place to pursue your post secondary education. It has an awesome campus vibe, and a snug, tight-knit community, and a strong sense of service to ones self and peers. There a multitude of things to do on campus, including clubs, recreational areas, student organizations and more! Not to mention their top tier educational programs!

Overall, I have had an amazing experience here! I have made good friends who live by me in my dorm and I feel that I really get to claim my education. There is a huge sense of pride in having community here and professors encourage you to follow your vocation in what you decide as your career path and want you to succeed.

It was a great college experience, with a safe and welcoming environment. The academics were good, especially the engineering programs. The class sizes were also small and professors know students by name. Some of the buildings and facilities could use updated.

The high school that I graduated from is on the campus, so I have known this college for many years. The campus is fun and has many things to do especially on the weekend. People are mostly nice. I'm glad to have been accepted at UD. I wish that there were more restaurants on campus. I also wish that all of the dorms were consistent in size.

I absolutely love the University of Dayton. I feel like I am 100% prepared for what I will find when I graduate college. I love the community it has, and I am happy to share my experiences. Being a UD student has shown me that education is not all about studying, but it is about loving how you are doing it and loving the culture. You will find both of these things at the University of Dayton.
