Top Strengths Comparison
Denison University
- 1 Outstanding academic support: 9:1 ratio, 19-student average class size, zero TA-taught classes perfectly meets need for teacher support and small classes
- 2 Definitively NOT a commuter school: 99% live on campus all four years with active weekends and 91% retention rate ensures vibrant residential community
- 3 Excellent career outcomes: 94% placement rate within 6 months, strong pre-law advising (85%+ law school acceptance), robust internship funding through The Denison Edge
- 4 Strong social scene balance: Active weekend programming, 200+ organizations, Greek life at moderate 25-30% provides options without overwhelming campus
- 5 Columbus proximity provides urban access for internships and entertainment while maintaining 30,000+ engaged alumni network
Things to Consider
Denison University
- 1 CRITICAL: No business or marketing major - student's top two academic interests not offered, only Economics with Management Studies concentration as substitute
- 2 CRITICAL: No competitive dance team for walk-on opportunities - only recreational club dance groups, not the athletic team experience sought
- 3 Location mismatch: Rural village of 5,600 people, not urban/near city as preferred - requires 30-minute drive to reach Columbus urban amenities
- 4 Weather mismatch: Only 178 sunny days/year with cold, cloudy winters contradicts 'loves sunshine' preference despite good nature access
- 5 Small enrollment (2,300) limits course variety and may feel restrictive compared to larger universities with dedicated business schools
