[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the campus in a nice area?[/quote]
I have a kid at Dayton now.
One end of the campus is close to the hospitals and downtown Dayton, which can be a little sketchy.   On the other side of the campus is the city of Oakwood, which has some beautiful houses on treelined streets.
From what I can tell the students mainly stick to campus.   The university owns (almost) all of the single family homes on the streets surrounding the campus and that is upper classman student housing.   Each house has a front porch and hanging out on the front porches is a big part of the campus culture (they even named the student portal "porches.")[/quote]

My junior is in one of those houses this year, I'm looking forward to parents weekend to visit!

Engineering is a big program at Dayton and for the PP who asked if it's safe, the poster I've quoted summarizes it perfectly.  My son hasn't had any issues and the students tend to stay closer to campus.  It's a nice campus, and for our son it was a good size -- not too big, not too small.  Plenty to do on weekends.

[b]Merit aid is generous, we're paying equivalent to UMD (our state) costs.  [/b]

PP you quoted here, and yes same here, we are paying slightly less than what we would have paid for Virginia in state tuition.
My son is a sophomore and can't wait to live in one of the houses next year![/quote]

1.  This thread is super old.

2.  UMD and many of the VA state schools are better than Dayton so if you’re paying the same price it’s still not exactly a bargain [/quote]

1.  A couple of questions were asked just today.

2.  “Better” is relative.  We were more interested in “fit” for our student.  Who, after visiting U of Dayton, was excited about the school and said it was the right one for him. [/quote]

The term “fit” makes me want to vomit.  [/quote]
