It is a dynamic not found on many campus', and one I absolutely love to brag about.

One of the most underrated things I didn’t know about the University of Dayton going in was how much of a party scene it had.

I enjoy sharing my school spirit and love of the UD community that I believe is so prevalent on my campus.

I brag the most about the commitment my professors take to help every student reach success. I have heard horror stories about big universities and that professors are only thier for research. The professors at UD take an interest in their students work and life goals. They give real life stories and make us work to get expereince that will get us one step ahead of our competition when looking for jobs. They also are willing to give up their class time to get employers to speak not only to talk to us about the field but offer jobs.

Everyone here at UD is so nice and helpful. Everyone is willing to go out of their way to help other people, and many people have a hard time understanding that if they do not attend UD.

The strong sense of community and amazing, open-minded, accepting people who I was blessed to find and count as friends.

Campus Ministry is amazing on our campus, and the Marianists--which is the order that UD is affiliated with--are wonderful, inspiring and make me proud to be a Catholic.

Everyone is extremely friendly! The profs know what they are teaching and do thier best to convey the information and are always there for students. We live by the motto, "learn, lead and serve".
