University of Dayton

Best $ 80,000 I ever spent (and still paying for it). I can’t replace the great times I had at UD with anything better, but be wary of the price tag, and make sure your major leads to a well-​paying career.

Been here really only for events. Our company sponsors the small business tool kit series put on by the dayton chamber of commerce. Boxed lunches are great, the space works well too. We use the second floor on the building opposite Carillon Park. It has an overhead projector and two large six by five hanging screens and a full wall white board.
Helpful staff. No wifi?

I’ve attended a plethora of schools and universities over the last 10 years including but not limited to: UCLA, FIDM, OSU, OU, Wright state, and various Boston area universities and colleges. UD is BY FAR my favorite. I wish I would have done my full education here! This is a university that does everything and then some to ensure student success.

As a graduating senior, UD has provided me the best four years of my life. The people and accepting community is unparalleled, and for the most part, faculty/​professors are extremely accommodating and understanding. Whether it be a Wednesday in the ghetto, walking class-​to-​class, or at the bars with my friends, I always seem to be an incredible mood due to the Dayton ambiance. Dayton, though expensive, provides generous scholarships and puts one’s tuition dollars to work as one can witness incredible, steady progress throughout their 4 years. I will definitely miss my time and friends I made at UD, and will more importantly value experience gained here. If you don’t consider UD as a potential collegiate option, you are misguided.

A nice resource for the community.

I go here. Its home
Four years so far very well spent, the campus is beautiful and the classes good, with amazing professors, and small class sizes.
UD is known for two things, the Basketball Team, and the Ghetto or the student neighborhood, where 97% of the students live during their upperclassmen years. Its filled with good parties, friendly people and porches.
It is a hard to not have a good time here, you don’t have to be a partier either although we do love our drinks here, there are still good things to do on the weekend with out alcohol involved. this is the place where you can walk in to any party, be offered a beer and spend a few hours with people you’ve never met, and then move on. We are family here, a community and I love that. People say hi to me, people that I have never met strike up conversations. Thats a place that I want to go to school with
Its close to Brown Street, several good eateries and bars you won’t have a problem finding anything to do around here.

Having done my undergraduate at UC, I am not the most impartial person and will always love UC more. However, I do like the campus, it has beautiful architecture and a great small feel. Plus there are plenty of green spaces and trees. However, I miss the urban environment that Clifton has as UD feels a bit cut off. Also, I tend to get lost all the time because the buildings aren’t marked (for example, why can’t there be a sign that says which building financial aid is in rather than just having the name of the building.) The parking situation isn’t that great either, but I am making it work.

I visited UD with my son last year when he was making his college visits. I think if the choice was up to me, I would have placed UD in my top three!
I liked the campus, both aesthetically and from a comfort level. Other than the fact that we’re Southerners, I’m not sure why he didn’t rate it higher. Seemed like there was plenty to do and the students were both intellectually challenged and involved in their communities! Neat area of housing for the upperclassmen (may be for sororities and fraternities, not sure).
Anyway, from a parent point of view, go and visit! The students were friendly and bright and I liked the atmosphere!

GOOOOOO DAYTON FLYERS!
My time at UD? Four years very well spent. I took a campus tour because it was close to home. I applied because I fell in love with the beautiful campus and because there was an International Studies major. I went to UD because of the people.
The University does a fine job of promoting academics and Marianist values, so I won’t bother with that in this review. It’s all about the people.
The professors are great. I’m not sure if it’s because of the small class sizes or because UD hires genuinely amazing people, but they really do a wonderful job. I’ve never met people so willing to encourage independent research, write a glowing letter of recommendation, or pull strings to get you into a closed class after the deadline.
It’s nearly impossible to not have a great time at UD. You don’t need to be a big partier to enjoy the experience, although if you like your beer, you’re in the right place! People are genuinely friendly and outgoing, and — as dorky as this sounds — it’s the kind of school where you could walk into a party full of strangers and leave with a new group of best friends.
«Community» is more than just a cheesy campus buzzword here; people really live it. The Ghetto was my home, and everyone who sat on a porch with a beer and a smile was my family.

Had a blast while going to school here and got a great education at the same time. I don’t know how anyone could not love this place! Great campus, friendly people, smaller classes, good profs, and great parties! Go Flyers!
