In the past month, the University of Denver was ranked as the number on school for studying abroad in the country by the Open Doors report given by the Institute of International Education. The report stated that 71{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of undergraduate students enrolled at the University of Denver study abroad in their time at the institution. Over half of the junior class was absent this fall quarter as they travelled to dozens of countries across the world to continue their learning experience and gain real-world experiences.

The University of Denver is mainly know for its high tutition. This could be a bit of an issues when that fact clouds all of the other great thing the university offers. From its healthy food to small intructor to student ratio for a personalized learning, the high tutition overshadows all of the great point the school gives. It's hard to focus on the good when there's a huge debt on your shoulders.

When I tell people I attend the Universtiy of Denver I often times get a response along the lines of, "Oh, doesn't that have a weird schedule?" What they are referring to is the Quarter System. While many have heard of it, very few have attended a school on this schedule so very few have the privelage of understanding. We have the privelage of taking more classes in a school year and getting to change out schedule one more time than schools working on semesters.

Research and the business school.

As University of Denver is a private school, it achieves academically and strives to give all students who attend an education that will help them achieve after graduation. This school has a strong athletic spirit, where students attend all sport games and cheer with all their heart. There is also a great awareness to help the environment as every building and floor has fill in water bottle stations and recycling bins.

Chad

It is best known for their great academics and toughness. It has tough courses but by coming out of there with good grades, an employeer notices that. The College of Idaho is well respected.

Mia

DU is best known for hockey. Hockey at DU is like football in your average All-American high school--just about everyone at the University is a hockey fanatic, and the hockey culture that exists at DU is indescribable--this also points to the amazing student life that exists at DU. Everyone on campus loves getting involved in all sorts of activities that occur, including weekly campus-wide movie nights, the famous hockey season ticket camp out, and more. Everyone at DU has a place, and the student body is really integrate, which makes for a great overall experience.

Mackenzie

My favorite campus tradition is the rivalry between Colorado College and DU. Interestingly enough, most students at DU also apply to CC, but because they are the closest div. I hockey team, we hate them. Brutally. It doesn't matter who DU is playing, at some point during every hockey game you will hear a "CC SUCKS!" chant, which can greatly confuse those who are playing for the other team and have never heard of "CC." But of course, this rivalry leads to another campus tradition, a DU-CC game at DU. Because of CC's proximity, many CC students show up to the game (and give us their money), and the DU student section sells out within a couple hours when tickets go on sale. The last DU-CC game I went to wore my voice out so badly that I sounded like the love child of Clint Eastwood and Batman for the next 6 hours, and could barely even whisper the next day. Totally worth it.

Marisa

The Hockey Campout. Every fall, there is a campout (mostly for freshmen) to get season hockey tickets. People line up in tents outside of the box office, hang out, party, eat free food grilled by DU Grilling Society. In the morning, you buy your season hockey tickets while the players bring you donuts. It was the coldest night of my life, but so much fun!

Krystal

Stephanie

Our Daniel's school of business and our Hockey team, which was ranked #1 in the nation last year are what my school is known for. However, I think many of our other programs and teams are also great because DU wants everything it does and everyone that goes there to be the best that they can be.

Madeline

I believe the school is best known for the academics and activities. University of Denver offers a fantastic education while putting some fun into it at the same time. Perosnally, I am involved with Alpine Club and Colleges Against Cancer. Those are just two of so many more. These extra activities help me relax and find other reasons to study even more.

Thea

My school is likely best known for its wonderful facilities, especially the athletic/recreation facilities and the business school- which is also something it is likely known for. Great professors, small size, and therefore a good student-teacher ratio.

Arielle

It seems, from my conversing with people around the area and from other Colorado schools, that DU is seen to be rather prestigious, as it's harder to get into. Also, we're well-known for our law program and our large number of business major, and sometimes my school tends to be associated with wealth, as you generally need a lot of money to go here. It is true that many of my fellow classmates are rather wealthy, but funding the majority of my education with grants, loans, and scholarships, it's a stereotype with which I disagree.

Erin

The hockey team is great, but I think it's the relaxed attitude of the students. Also, having the mountains near by, DU is known for going off to ski on the weekends.

Lammi

Expensive tuition and fees, and the tuitions are much more expensive than the education.

Becky

The University of Denver is known for high academic standards in all areas, as well as a focus on personal development. The biggest focal points are our hockey team, the business school, and our law school. However, excellence is something the university acheives in other athletics and in all campus schools/departments.

Lindsey

It is best known for its business program as well as its study abroad program. They have a ton of locations you can study abroad and it doesn't cost more than the tuition for the school.

Emilee

Two of the things I paid attention to the most when first looking into University of Denver was the Business Program and the fitness and athletics of the school. I was really nervous about not going to a school with football but DU hockey definitely picks up the slack. This year we had 6 NHL draft athletes, which is incredible. The Business school is also one of the top in the nation! There are so many opportunities through it, you could never go wrong being a business major!

Kiah

DU is best known for its beautiful campus. As one walks through Du they will travel along a red, brick path and see many large trees and well designed architectural styles. Fall as been my favorite time of year - being able to see the trees turn red and enjoy the warm weather.
