    Am learning a lot

    All of the teachers I have had so far are very knowledgeable and helpful

    Am enjoying being here

    So far, so good

    Bang for the buck

    For a private college, I would say it is very affordable.

    Tips for prospective students

    Research the classes required for the major. I know a lot of people who are not happy about the classes they are going to have to take, but it can easily be found on the website.

    Great for these types of students

    great for students who want to learn and meet good people, and get a lot of personal attention

    Am learning a lot

    The professors are really knowledgeable and approachable, for the most part, and the small class sizes make it much easier for professors to answer individual questions.

    Am enjoying being here

    Everyone is so friendly; I was worried at first about being so far away from home, but the easy acceptance I experienced right off the bat reassured me that Daemen was the right choice.

    Bang for the buck

    Daemen is expensive, but the education is really worthwhile. Some of my expenses are covered by the scholarship program, but I definitely recommend carefully considering your finances before making any decision about where to go to school.

    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved in some of the clubs on campus; the art club, anime club, and English club are all great. I'd avoid the Greek organizations, though; it's much more worthwhile to be in a club with people who share your interests.

    Great for these types of students

    I would really say anyone. There are students here who are shyer and are using this college to come out of their shells slowly, but there are also students who are just here to be crazy and have fun. I think the best thing about Daemen is that all these different kinds of students are still accepted and made to feel at home.

    Although the available majors don't expand over a wide range of topics and subjects, the individual programs that are available offer unique courses that could pique almost anyone's interests. Along with the standard curriculum, students have the option to create independent studies for not only classes, but entire majors (require approval from department head or Dean, respectively). With the opportunity to manipulate your education to get what you want out of it, it's difficult to not learn and keep interest!

    With a brand new library which features up-to-date technologies around every corner, having a nice place to study is never a problem. With over 25 computers on the first floor and a computer lab only a five minute walk away, papers are easily written and research easily compiled. Both areas for quiet-study and for groups are available, so whatever your ideal studying environment is, you're sure to find a nice, comfortable chair or a large room to fit all of your friends in.

    Compared to other campuses in Buffalo, Daemen's is pretty small. Despite this, the school puts in massive efforts to entertain students and to keep them occupied; from Casino Nights, TGIF (free food), Springfest, and intramural sports, to name a few, there always seems to be something going on. Although only minor on our campus, there is also Greek life with four sororities and one fraternity, all of which comply with strict anti-hazing rules and laws. Student administration positions are available also, including Student Alumni Ambassadors, Student Association, Tour Guides and Student Government, all of which are key roles to be played in the foundation of the school. If you like to get out and do things, Daemen offers a world of opportunities to do so with a little or a lot for everyone.

    Bang for the buck

    Despite the heavy price tag Daemen puts on its tuition statements, the majority of the student body (along with myself), only pays about half of this due to financial aid, a vast amount of scholarships and grants available to be awarded, and through the large work-study program on campus. Considering this, I would consider my time there to have been worth the dollars I paid.

    Tips for prospective students

    There are many different types of dorm availabilities now that the school is expanding exponentially in their student population, but despite the appeal of some of the other options, make sure that in your freshman year you get your housing deposit in early. You'll end up in Canavan freshman dorm, which might not be the prettiest, but after hearings stories of feelings of isolation from my friends who lived in other living areas who didn't get the full experience as I did, I look back with pure compassion for that rough brick building.

    Also, everyone always says Get involved! but here at Daemen, you will rarely come across a person who isn't involved in some sort of club, team, or meeting group. Your first few weeks are prime time to put yourself out there; not only will you meet other people your age trying for the same thing, but you'll meet a bunch of upper-classmen who will be some of the most helpful people you meet in your college career!

    Great for these types of students

    Students from small towns or who enjoy a family oriented living situation will definitely enjoy the tight-knit community that Daemen has built. Offering multiple clubs and groups for those who like to be involved, Daemen makes it hard to walk down the hall and not say Hey! to half the people you pass.

    Tips for prospective students

    apply early and get scholarships because it is starting to get expensive. but it is 100% worth it.

    What to do for fun

    many clubs and activities, and there is always something fun going on.

    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    dc book keeps track of things to do while you're in the buffalo-amherst area, and you receive awards at graduation if you complete the dc book.

    Great for these types of students

    studious, hard workers, and those who love the community feel of small schools.

    Clubs and Activities

    many activities to offer.

    Campus Safety

    one of the top 5 safest schools in america in 2009, and still safe.

    Join as many clubs and activities as you can handle. They make it very easy to be a part of this community and everyone should take full advantage of it.
