Hostel:

For the first two years, you're required to live on campus in dormitories and have a food plan. The dormitories are okay but expensive. However, after the two years are over, students live in apartments or houses.

I chose to go to the DU because of the amazing and financially supportive study abroad program. I also came for the warmth and the sunshine. I loved the campus when I visited and met with some students who talked about how fantastic DU was and how rarely they felt homesick.

Financial aid was better compared to other schools I applied to. The location was also great. They also seemed to have a great English program. I also knew people from high school that was attending.
