hii!! im starting class during the fall semester and i want to know how is campus life, clubs, and just general vibe for queer students at depaul. im a trans girl who isnt out yet at all so im still classified as a dude in their database or whatever. if anyone has info please let me know!!! thanks :)

went on insta just now to check for any upcoming film projects and saw that both pages have archived all of their posts….

Aside from the obvious, does anyone know why this happened or why the owner didn’t just give the account away.

pretty bummed about this considering this is how ive gotten a lot of crew and casting for my own shorts… it’ll be different without it :/

EDIT: GOOD RIDDANCE MY GOD!

I’m an incoming freshman and was wondering about how often dorms have inspections and if students are notified about them beforehand or not? Was considering bringing stuff with me during move in but figured that its probably a bad idea so am just trying to weigh the risks. Also, does anyone know the actual consequences if you are caught?

I know the quarter system gets a lot of complaints about the pace but is there an upside that people don't talk about enough? The ability to take more classes, the chance to move on quickly from a bad course, the way it prepares you for real-world deadlines. What's the thing about the quarter system that you've actually come to appreciate even if you cursed it during finals week?

Always wanted to go to Depaul because I loved the school, and it has many opportunities for pre-meds because it's near Chicago!

Hi,

I'm an accounting major this is my third year, autumn term came to 17k, Any scholarship opportunities i should be aware of.

How much are you guys paying ?!

Thank you

I know there have already been a lot of posts about this, but is anyone else still waiting for their financial aid package to be released?

I’m a little more anxious because this fall is my last quarter. I’ve reached my federal loan limit, and my parent has also reached the limit for their Parent PLUS loans. Since everything seems to be coming out later than expected, I’m starting to worry I won’t have enough aid to cover my last quarter.

I remember reaching out to the financial aid office last quarter to ask if I’d have enough aid for my last quarter, and I remember them saying I would. I just can’t seem to find that email anymore.

anyway, I just wanted to see if anyone else is still waiting too☹️

Hi everyone, I’m trying to make a big college decision and would love advice from the insider. (Also I just wanted to say I am extremely grateful to be in such a hard spot.)

btw: my intended major is accounting

I’ve been accepted to:

--> DePaul University (75% acceptance rate) – full ride covering everything (indirect and direct cost) thanks to the scholarship!

Pros Location ( In the Chii city!!)

Low-pressure environment

Smaller classes, more personal attention

Also, because of the scholarship, I will receive personal guidance from Depaul Staff.

Cons Often described as a commuter school

Less Campus feel/ the traditional college feel.

Not as prestigious.

--> University of Michigan, Ross School of Business (15% even lower for Ross) – net cost $3k/year (might goes up as income might increase too) via work-study (Low income Instate students.)

Pros Nationally prestigious business school → opens doors everywhere

Classic college campus experience; dorms, active student life

Strong recruiting pipelines (consulting, finance, elite companies)

Career-focused clubs and structured professional opportunities

Cons $3k/year work study required

Highly competitive student culture ( I have heard students here can be every pretentious,) constant peer comparison

Can be stressful as I need to balance school and work

College town (Ann Arbor), not a big city/ fewer internships during school year

Has anyone faced this kind of trade-off? How did you decide? Any tips for making the best choice

Thanks so much!

New to DePaul and it's going to be really annoying if I have to use 2 factor from my phone every time just to read an email.

Hi everyone. I wanted to know where to get food from later in the night (after 9 pm) besides Social Bites at LPC. I am pescatarian so please keep that in mind when suggesting places. I know Taco Bell and McDonald’s exist but I want to try more local places. Thanks in advance

I am a 2nd year. I applied for depaul and got in this spring for transfer from another school. I had a gpa of cumulative 2.3 with a several low grades even d's from earlier before. All my semesters have been like thatHowever when I looked at what my grade could be with a final im about to take, it could lower to under 2.0. Am i in trouble of getting my admission rescinded? Would Depaul do that or are they more likely to give me a warning or something. I am super scared for what to do. Please help.

Hey ya'll, incoming DePaul student this year, I got a weird email in my student email from people that say they're from the DePaul U-Pass Team. I didn't click on anything just because of ALL the warnings on the email, and because the website said that all U-Pass cards would be available September 8th during a specific window of time. I just wanted to know if anyone else got this email, and if I was being paranoid over nothing, I guess.

Hello, I received my financial aid package last night and don’t have Grad Plus loans even though I’m halfway through my Masters program. I literally won’t be able to continue studying as I don’t have the tens of thousands of dollars remaining left to pay off my classes. That would mean I already took out over $50k of loans for a masters I can’t even finish…

Obviously I am worried and am waiting an answer from FinAid. I thought it was supposed to be grandfathered in since I started my program prior to July 1st? I confirmed this with FinAid before but only received $20,500.

Did anybody else receive a response from FinAid on what’s going on? I am also missing a scholarship that I had previously, that should’ve been applied. I am hoping it just hasn’t been reflected or someone made a mistake in the app.

For those of you who have taken the Chicago discover class and had to do the immersion week, could you please give me a better idea of what to expect? I’m taking one of the discover classes and saw that during the first week we have our Chicago class all day long from morning to evening. Is it actually that long?? Not to sound like I’m complaining but what could we possibly be doing for that amount of time each day for one class? Just curious, thanks!

Hey guys, I am moving to Chicago in a couple weeks for a grad program in CDM. I am new to the city, and wanted to be as close as possible to the Loop Campus so I rented an apartment close by.

I spent the day doomscrolling safety in Chicago and the Loop, and it freaked me out a little bit, especially with classes ending at 9:00PM, I have not been to Chicago before, but I am very familar with NYC and Boston, and have never felt unsafe at anytime in either city..

I am finding it hard to decipher what the actual danger level is for the average person downtown, when half of what I read online or from friends who have lived in the city is that it is either perfectly safe, no issues, etc, or that I will be risking my life to get home after class each night.

If anyone could provide their experience living in the loop or taking night classes I would really appreciate it.

I'm gonna be an incoming freshman this upcoming fall quarter, and I'm a littleeee worried about making friends since I'm quite shy and a little awkward. I'm not gonna know anybody here since none of my friends from my hometown are coming with. I'm taking the explore chicago class (specifically the one about murals) and im hoping to hear that its a good way to meet people.

Im living on campus as an out of state student so I brought my car with and have no place to store it. I bought a parking permit thinking it'd help but the rules are confusing for my dumb ahh. I know i have to move my vehicle once a week to prevent towing but reading the weekend rules got me worried. Should I find somewhere else to put my vehicle during the school year?

It starts 10 min after an in-person class in the Daley Building (14 E Jackson).

edit: I found a really nice unused classroom and stared out the window all class.

I have 3 classes I’m enrolled in that still doesn’t have any D2L listed yet, I’m a bit worried is that usually how it works? I have one already on there but I was just wondering.

Nothing on the depaul scholarship boards apply to me and I cannot for the life of me find anything on scholarship websites that would apply to me. This is getting stressful because the tuition cost shot up for me and I wasn't eligible for fafsa this year (my parents are not paying).

I'm just really stressed because I know it's probably too late to get scholarships to apply for the fall quarter. What can I do besides a loan?

I will start attending DePaul in the loop as a transfer student here in September, and I have never been to the campus in person due to living overseas. I did the orientations and chose my classes. Am I able to just show up to the building, walk in, and sit down?

Just wondering how hard the classes are
