DePauw does not offer emerging curricula. Every university has an AI course, we do not have robotics, security, or game programming classes.
DePauw does not have support for moblile platforms like PocketPC and Palm.
DePauw charges students to use video camera, projectors, etc.
DePauw does not offer courses online.
DePauw does not offer streaming courses.
Period. I'm not say DePauw does a bad job educating people, I think I've learned more here in four years than I did in 12 years of public school, but to falsify information about themselves on a survey for marketing purposes is simply despicable.
I'm a senior at DPU. They are nothing but hype. The CS department is not that great. They're just now starting to teach java, and almost no one knows anything about.net
The helpdesk support is beyond abysmal. Viruses are horribly rampant, and wireless network coverage sucks..they claim it is all over campus, but one of the most used academic buildings still doesn't have any coverage.
The whole thing is nothing but hype. They started forcing freshmen to buy Dell laptops, which are supported on campus by a Dell guy, but the turnaround is shit for repairs, and the help for kids is nonexistent.
Mac support has been nonexistent the past two years, I know because I was the _sole_ dedicated mac support person, and I'm a student. This year it is beginning to get better, but we still don't have people that really know what they're doing, and professors asses are kissed a little too much--doing what they say gets in the way of a functional network.
In short, DePauw SUCKS, don't go there, don't waste your $34k a year.
