DePaul University, founded in 1898, is a private university in Chicago, Illinois. The university has become the largest Catholic university by enrollment in the United States. Following in the footsteps of its founders, DePaul places special emphasis on recruiting first-generation students and others from disadvantaged backgrounds. “Teaching and learning are our priorities at DePaul. That might seem obvious, but we're the largest private university whose faculty members' priority is teaching. We're also the nation's largest Catholic university, and we're committed to an educational experience that weaves together mind, place, people and heart.” DePaul's two primary campuses are in the Lincol

n Park neighborhood of Chicago and in the downtown Loop area. Going to school at DePaul means living in Chicago. And Chicago has endless opportunities for education and entertainment. It's definitely big, but it's also known for Midwestern friendliness, a strong sense of community, and its ethnic diversity, food and culture. With all of the student groups, activities and opportunities offered at DePaul, there's probably already a community waiting for any student to join. “So, what doesn't exist is easy to create.”
