Good University
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
It was good, the University of Dayton helps and tries to provide any opportunity. The staff is very cooperative and the atmosphere is friendly.
Fantastic University
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
I really liked the relationship you were able to build with professors and all of the help the university provides in order for all students to succeed. I think some of the classes could be improved by having professors teach a lower level class when they are over qualified.
