    it is a small, quiet school with challenging courses. a very personal experience with the professors. not a great place to make friends.
    Tips for prospective students

    visit the campus first.
    Academic Rigor

    it depends on what classes you are taking, some are extremely difficult and some are just easy a's.
    Dorm Life

    i don't dorm there so i can't give much input.
    Food and Dining

    i don't eat the food there, i'm a commuter so i just drive to the campus and go back home to eat.
    Bang for the buck

    i recieved a 50% tuition scholarship and i am enrolled in the 5 year b.s./m.s. program so it definitely saved me a lot of money.
    Campus Safety

    it is in a very dangerous neighborhood. at least one car a week gets broken into. if you chose this college make sure to park on the d'youville lots with security and cameras.

    D'Youville is known for its Nursing program. Many people say that is a good school to get a Nursing degree. I have to agree because when I say I am going to D'Youville; people say, That is a great school. or You will go far with a Nursing degree from D'Youville.
    Tips for prospective students

    Explore all of your college choices. D'Youville is a private college so it is more expensive. You pay for quality education.
    Academic Rigor

    I believe that if you are well organized and focused you will do great. Some classes are harder than others but organization is key to succeed.
    Food and Dining

    There is a cafe on campus that is reasonably priced and good food. There are many other restaurants nearby that students can drive to. I am not sure about what is offered as far as meal plans for on campus living students.
    What to do for fun

    Many things to do. Volunteering, social groups, and more.
    Campus Safety

    Between the city police and the campus police the campus I believe is safe. They watch out for the students and staff.

    D'Youville offers student centered learning. The teachers are always offering help and are actually here to give that help. Also because DYC is a small college the classroom sizes are small which offers a better learning experience.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't waste your time taking the easy simple courses. Yeah your first semester is difficult but it brings you ahead of the rest of your class and gives you greater opportunities for your major and classes. Also get involved in extracurriculars. Join a sport or a club that meets every Wednesday. This will give you the chance to meet new people and become apart of making the school a better place.
    Academic Rigor

    There is a range on how hard a class is and it depends on which classes you decide to take. The sciences are among the hardest especially anatomy and physiology. The easier classes are the extra requirements through the school.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are a main necessity of a student who doesn't live in Buffalo. They are a great place to make new friends and create meaningful relationships with people that you will spend a lot of time with.
    Food and Dining

    The food at DYC is okay. For people who dorm there is the required PVR, which is cafeteria style eating. The food is okay and they change the menu regularly but the food becomes slim and not so creative towards the end of the week.
    What to do for fun

    For fun, D'Youville offers a ton of clubs and schools to join. the best way to find all of the clubs and sports would be to go onto the website www.dyc.edu.
    Great for these types of students

    DYC is a great school for students looking to become a nurse or health profession major. D'Youville has also started offering a pharmacy Pharm-D degree program.
    Campus Safety

    There is always security around. And in every parking lot there are buttons that can be pressed and if you are afraid of walking to your car by yourself a security guard will walk with you. There is also a security guard in the dorm building and apartments where an id has to be presented to get in.

    Very strong academically. Poor social scene. Great environment for learning.
    Tips for prospective students

    You have so many resources available to you, use them! Stay focused, you are there to learn. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
    What to do for fun

    There are many clubs you can join and numerous oncampus activites that you will be alerted about via email on a daily basis.
    Bang for the buck

    Private schools are always a lot more expensive but, I do think my school offers many resources to help you learn and cope with the stress of being a student.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    I love that my campus has an all faiths prayer room.
    Great for these types of students

    Dilligent, focused, ambitious.
    Campus Safety

    Campus security is always available but my school is not located in the best neighborhood and there are occasional mishaps.

    D'Youville's motto of educating for life couldn't be more accurate; the academic excellence, help, and interaction with considerate professors, and the small-sized campus make for a great opportunity to learn-and retain-valuable information that will be useful in the future. The outstanding faculty and staff are helpful and courteous, and genuinely want every student to succeed. The wide array of programs and majors offered is also a huge benefit.
    Tips for prospective students

    The best thing to keep in mind about D'Youville is that whatever you're planning on putting into the college (effort in school work, participation in extracurricular activities, etc), is what your are going to get out of it. If you're willing to work hard, you WILL succeed in anything you want to.
    Academic Rigor

    Classes at D'Youville are a lot of work, just like at any other college, but, if you put in the right amount of effort and manage your time appropriately, you will have no problem succeeding academically.
    Dorm Life

    Residence halls and apartments are available at D'Youville. Residents also receive their own parking area.
    Food and Dining

    There are two cafes located on campus offering a wide variety of snacks and meals. There is also a Wilson Farms convenience store located very close by.
    What to do for fun

    Many extracurricular activites are available at D'Youville. The school prides itself on its Division III athletic teams, but there are also bountiful opportunities to become involved in student clubs and organizations.
