Campus life is fun and social. They offer networking events and even movie nights at the student center on campus. The libraries are also open 24 hours during finals week which I thought was great.

I lived off campus in an apartment that I rented through HotPads.

Campus life is great, lots of stuff to do inside and outside of campus. DePaul has campuses in Downtown Chicago and Lincoln Park. So several events take place daily on both campuses. There is never a dull moment in DePaul!

1 BHK in an apartment building, non-sharing, rent of $1,215, located in Uptown Chicago. I'd suggest looking for accommodation away from Downtown Chicago because of the high rent over there.

The campus is wonderful and that's still an understatement. There are many activities happening all around the year. Also many students miss on most of them as a lot would be happening in the main campus but a lot of the masters degree classes are conducted at the loop campus. It has its fair share of events too. But due to online classes many of them miss these and that a bad thing. I suggest students interact with other nationals and start networking early on.

I am actually working on creating awareness on this as it's something that a lot of students do not understand before they come here. At least most of the students in my network had no clue. Most of the students share their housing. Chicago being a beautiful city, also has an issue with frequent crimes. Gun violence is so frequent. In India women are suggested to not travel alone in nights. The practical reality is most of my male friends don't dare go out alone in night in the neighborhood we stay in. Some of the neighborhoods are wonderful but quite expensive for a lot of the students. Some of the neighborhood are not so. So students need to do some research before coming here. Many things need to be known regarding the lease, applying for the utilities like gas and electricity and more. Students should be aware and also prepared to do these. Also buying stuff, managing food and more. Many students who haven't stayed in sharing spaces usually face a lot of issues as they are simply not prepared for this. Students should know this is NOT HOME and should take care of themselves.

There are many extra activities during fall quarter. Like watching movies, painting, fun activities, etc.

900$ per credit for CDM courses.

There is pretty much something for everyone as far as clubs go. There are two libraries, plenty of research facilities (they have traditional PC’s and iMacs). There is a softball field and that’s about it. Wi-Fi is so-so, could be better.

You can rent these type of rooms in the libraries for free.
