DePaul University Accommodation: Students' Opinion

AI-Generated Summary based on 8 Reviews

Students attending this college are living in off-campus accommodations. Many students share housing due to the high cost of living in Chicago, with some neighborhoods being very expensive. An example of an off-campus accommodation is a 1 BHK apartment in Uptown Chicago, rented at $1,215 per month without sharing. Students are advised to research housing options and utilities, as well as to be prepared for the challenges of living in shared spaces.

Platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook groups are used to find accommodations, especially within Indian communities.

Alumni meetups to know more at the starting of my masters.

We need more referrals to get Part time at university.
I love to have day time classes but they have only evening classes.
Just 10-weeks of classes per term.

There are many platforms for accommodation, like WhatsApp groups. I didn't face any difficulties. After i received my I-20, our university provided a whatsapp and facebook groups link and I have joined, and that helps me a lot. As a recommendation just use the whatsapp groups for more Indian communities.

Monthly Expenses: USD$ 600

My experience at DePaul

Accommodation

Off Campus

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

I chose DePaul because of it's location as I wanted to live in a large, diverse area. The MBA program is broad and recognized globally. My experience at DePaul was absolutely great. I enjoyed the campus life and living in Lincoln Park, Chicago. I also enjoyed the classes and professors. Many of my professors had their doctorate degree. I also gained real work experience by working full time during my time as an MBA student. The professors and faculty at DePaul understood that I was a full time worker and were flexible based on these demands. I would definitely recommend DePaul to other students.

DePaul University

Accommodation

Off Campus

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.

I needed to submit an Educational Credentials Evaluation report, Statement of Purpose and Resume. In my SoP, I talked about the purpose and motivations behind pursuing the MS in Business Analytics degree. I choose this course because of the curriculum of the program and huge variety of elective classes and major options. Also the flexibility of taking classes, changing majors (if needed), and helpful faculty. I've been enjoying my time at DePaul so far. Since we have a quarter (10-week) system here instead of semesters - the assignments, quizzes, etc. are given to us weekly with weekly deadlines to meet. The workload can get quite hectic but that kind of workload and effort is expected from a Master's program. It's not easy, but at the end you will feel accomplished and that it was worthwhile. I've made some great friends here as well!

Life in Chicago and DePaul.

My application process was very much delayed and only a few options were left by the time I started applying in late June and July. Also I pivoted my field of study from engineering to business analytics in the last minute. I have initially applied to the engineering programs in universities and I even took admission. Later chagend my mind to pursue business analytics. So I had only two universities taking admissions by that time and this was the obvious choice considering the location, CHICAGO. And the curriculum was comprehensive and I really liked it.
Location and the Opportunities it brings. Located in the heartland of Chicago, the third largest city in USA with it's architectural grandeur, is "the" place to live for many and it gives students wonderful opportunities to network and forge new relationships that can help boost their career. DePaul University's Kellstadt Graduate School of Business is renowned in mid West and has a wonderful curriculum especially for business analytics.

Dislikes

"Considering the nature of online classes after COVID pandemic, the experience is similar to that of an online course. Even for the offline classes, there is an option to attend them online in most of the cases. And it's a practical reality that virtually all of the students choose online due to convenience. In this case, paying thousands of dollars, in business analytics, each credit hour was above 1100 USD when I was studying and that meant a simple SQL course of 4 credits, of which the entire syllabus could be learnt in a week, costed me $4,500. which in my opinion was absurd. There were other such subjects in the curriculum. Even though the curriculum was fantastic, the fees was absurd. Secondly, the management was very inefficient. Especially for the international students, the simplest of questions regarding academics or accounts or anything else had taken very long to get answered. Especially, after having submitted the documents online, as it was the way during pandemic, my account was put on hold after a few quarters out of nowhere and I had to submit the hard copy again. I had some questions regarding accounts and well as academiics, I had to go from one office to the other only sent back to the same office again and they themselves didn't know that they were supposed to answer it. Usually it's the student employees at the desk of the office. And contacting the advisor would be the option and emails is very inefficient and time consuming. The zoom sessions are scheduled and usually have waitingtimes. I feel there should be a better way to manage the process for international students considering the sheer amount of volume surge in recent years. "

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.

It was a great time overall.

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

I chose DePaul University due to its two wonderful locations. The main campus in Lincoln Park and the business school in the Loop (Downtown Chicago).
