Has anyone here ever heard of Denison University?

[CarlKillerMiller]

I applied upon word of mouth advice, and I got in today. I would give it less thought, but I get a 50% scholarship, and I've heard that it's a good school.

Anyone here alumni/know alumni? I know it's a long shot, but ATOT has never failed me.

I live about a half hour away from it. I've been past it once or twice, but I don't know anyone who went there. It's in a nice little town and it's a very beautiful school.

Small school in my home state of Ohio. My old HS typically sends a few kids from each graduating class there. I think there was a kid a few houses down from me who went there, but I'm not sure. It has a good reputation in Ohio, but I don't know that it carries much weight out of state.

Yeah, man. I'm going to a college and majoring in making chili, with a minor in poisoning you.

I know a friend who goes there, don't know much about the reputation of the school though.

I don't know about the out-of-state reputation of Denison, but I do know that it's a respected school in Central Ohio, at least. It's not terribly far from where I live. My sister's boyfriend is a student there, and is studying (something related to chemical engineering). He really likes it there, I'm told. I can't remember which ones, exactly, but I know that a few of the administrators for a school district I used to work for are alumnis of Denison, and they encouraged students to apply there.

YMMV.

My post told you all you need to know about the out of state reputation of Dennison University

Seems like it has pretty stiff qualifications, that's a very high avg GPA.

Now I want some chili, dammit

 

[CarlKillerMiller]

Thanks, everyone.

I found their complete estimate, and I'll only be paying 15k a year.

Sweetness.

Just make a college visit and examines yourself to see if it suits your needs.

I have a friend who goes to Denision.

 

[UNCjigga]
