I applied to DESU in summer, 2025 admission. It was incredibly difficult to get a hold of the…read moreadmissions office, and when I did they told me I would have to wait an additional 1-2 weeks (on top of the week they initially mentioned) for a decision. They essentially said it was because there were only 2 admissions counselors for transfer students. It just was hard to get a clear answer. Whenever I reached out to the counselors regarding questions, they never replied. DESU was also the college to which I applied that wouldn't do a transcript evaluation before admitting me (I applied to 3 schools total). Upon acceptance, I was finally able to have a conversation with a counselor, after another week from reaching out. She kept saying how all my credits were "a waste of time" for their degree plan and I have a lot of credits that would be electives but I've already filled the # of credits for electives, so there's nowhere for these classes to go. That's not their fault, but I think the way she worded it (her bedside manner) was not the most professional. They told me I need ~80 credits, even though I would be a senior at the college I attended last time I was in college. The counselor didn't know that I'd been accepted to the school yet, even though admissions told me that was a requirement for advisement. Overall, the slow response (or lack thereof), lack of apparent communication between admissions and the schools themselves, and the professionalism with admin. staff are reasons I did not choose this school, and why I wouldn't recommend it to others.

I was genuinely concerned and worried about my issue and just needed guidance, but she continuously answered with passive aggression and cut me off while speaking. The last time that I called up there she was audibly annoyed that I had yet another question and said to me "it hasn't even been a week yet and youreeee callingggg again? Did you ... have a question??" Mind you, I was calling about something unrelated and she had just assumed. That was VERY disrespectful. I had been trying to contact different departments since December of 2024 and was ghosted until recently in February of 2025. I felt left in the dark and at this point I have to advocate for myself to find a solution. Luckily, management was able to resolve my main concern and I'm so grateful. But, that employee whose name I unfortunately did not catch; was very nasty spirited. If someone sees my review can you please address the current staff in admissions, because it was very disheartening and stressful to deal with. Thank you.

I don't know much about the college, but the campus sure is nice and the professors seem friendly.read more
