Incredible experience of DePaul University.

Tips: This college is an amazing place. If you come regularly, you'll feel at home here. There are always events going on related to study and fun. There are so many courses to choose from, and you can apply for scholarships. But the best thing about this college is the people. There are so many people who are always ready to help every person who needs it.

Likes (Post study jobs): The college organises a career fair twice a quarter to help every student. They also help us to build resumes. I do not know much about companies but DePaul makes sure that DePaul students will get a higher level of post after study and get paid well.

Dislikes (Part time work): There are very few jobs available to international students, and they are highly competitive. There are only about 200 jobs available on campus, and there are about 3,000 applications for those jobs. International students are not allowed to work off campus, so it is imperative that they find a job on campus if they want to stay in the country.

Select the course wisely.

Tips: Before joining this college, students should be aware of the course which they are choosing and how the location of the college is going benefit their course. The university is better than the other in this location and they provide various resources for the students so the student has to utilize these resources. The university keeps many events for networking so we have to put ourselves out there in order to grab the opportunity.

DePaul university has good visa acceptance rate

Tips: If you want to study in an urban setup then it's good. Other than that ROI is not that great. Public transportation of the city is brilliant and economical for students. However, the tuition cost is a bit higher than usual.

Likes (Public transportation): The CTA has done a great job of transportation CTA spells as Chicago public transport. 8 metro lines are there, and nearly 150 different routes of bus transportation. And we need to pay 105 to the university and they will give us a U pass which we can use in public transport.

Dislikes (Value for money): The tuition fees are high because we are studying in an urban setup and obviously we need to pay more to study here. Based on my experience I thought that studying in an urban setup would give more opportunities but it is not always the case. Lastly, your skills only matter.

Bittersweet experience, needs more industry exposure

Tips: There was a huge cultural shift but it was easy to blend in. I did get a scholarship when I got admitted to the university based on my profile as an undergrad. I'm quite satisfied with the quality of my education and the guidance from my advisors.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty members that teach are industry working professionals and they give the students exposure to real-world problems. They are quite helpful as well in terms of doubt-solving and even take one-on-one sessions when discussing assignments. Highly appreciate it.

Dislikes (Part time work): It's very difficult to acquire one. As the application process is quite time-consuming and most of the jobs don't even inform you about the status of the application. It was a good experience overall. I am happy to attend and recommend it as a good option.

Good reputation in the city. Not sure if it applies the same outside the city.

Tips: This college is same as any other college. Before coming here make sure you have some work experience. Your life will change after moving here so be ready for that. Something particularly for Chicago, be very careful as the security threats are higher. Last but not least, learn cooking.

Overall- Best University in Illinois

Tips: The courses at De Paul are considered among one of the best in Illinois and are at great ranks among all the universities in the US. The graduates from here are sought by most of the top recruiters. The fee structure is a little on the expensive side but the quality of the education they provide makes it all worth it. Professors are extremely cooperative and helpful, not just in academics but also in guiding job placements and internships. There are two campuses of Depaul University: Lincoln Park and Loop Neighbourhoods of Chicago. Lincoln Park campus is away from all the chaos of the city with a serene environment. The choice of campus depends on the choice of the course one chooses to pursue.

Likes (Internships): In my final year (2022), I got an opportunity for internships at not one or two but three prestigious American firms offering learning in the field of Business Management. The stipend offered by these recruiters was way above my expectations and was as high as $5,000 a month.

Dislikes (Value for money): The fee structure is a little on the expensive side, but the quality of education they provide makes it worth it. The program I am pursuing is one of the most expensive programs and is not affordable without a loan, by most of us. Yet, the experience is amazing.
