How to College
Still figuring out this college thing? We’ve got you covered — hear from students about what works, what doesn’t, and how to make the most of your time on campus.
Check if you’re looking elsewhere, but at Denison there is no extra cost, and you don’t have to be an athlete to use the gym, the pool, or the other facilities. The gym is a great way to connect with people and take classes from yoga to pilates.
You sure can, through club and intramural sports such as rowing and rugby, sailing and skiing, or yard pong and pickleball. It’s a surefire way to meet new people and let off some steam.
The idea of studying abroad in college may be daunting at first, but students who choose to study abroad find it a great way to immerse themselves in a new culture and accentuate their studies. Maybe you’ll study English literature in Bath, England, or global commerce in London’s financial district. Either way, studying abroad at Denison is included in the cost of tuition.
