- Lincoln Park Campus
Lincoln Park is a residential and retail center, bordered by Lake Michigan and a huge park (think the size of 900 football fields, 14 Portillo's restaurants and an Intelligentsia coffee shop). This is an eclectic and lively neighborhood.

The Loop is the city's largest business district. It’s called "the Loop" because of the elevated train tracks that circle the area, allowing for easy access not only to classrooms but all that downtown has to offer.

Student Reviews
City life
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
Although DePaul is considered expensive, I find the experience you get is worth the money. I find my best memories on the court as I play on the volleyball team or get experience hands-on in the city. I love how my business classes are downtown and that many professors also have jobs that relate to what they teach. I find that my professors are able to give me real-life...
Study in Chicago!
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
DePaul is a great place to spend your undergraduate years; with access to the city of Chicago as your campus, learning and campus life go hand and hand.
Excited for DePaul
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
I am yet to attend DePaul University. So far I am satisfied with how facilitating and responsive the counsellors are. The only thing I am worried about right now is having read reviews online that DePaul is expensive. Still, I am hopeful of attending this university and making the best out of it.
