"UD campus location in Rome is awesome!"
"I loved my time there during the Fall of my Sophomore year. During my Rome Study Abroad, I traveled all over Rome and the Vatican. We hopped on trains and planes on the weekends to go to France, Brussels, Greece, Poland, and Ireland. I read the Classics by the vineyard, knelt on Holy Stairs, ran a Greek race, walked a pilgrimage, and stood on top of the Cliffs of Moher. I returned from Rome with stronger faith, great memories and friendships I will carry with me for a lifetime."
"I love the Las Colinas Skyline."
"After I graduate, I'm considering moving to the Las Colinas area in Irving. I have
DJ'ed and enjoyed concerts at the Toyota Music Factory there. Lots of places to eat.
It is also near the Campion Trail and Lake Carolyn which has condos near the DART
(train) stop which can take me straight downtown and to DFW airport."
"I love being outdoors and exploring off campus."
"I kayaked in Grapevine Lake, hiked the Cedar Ridge in Dallas, did some fishing in
Lake Granbury and went tubing in Lewisville Lake. I love visiting little Texas towns,
too."
"I love the different churches and Catholic communities near UD."
"I've been to a 6am daily Mass at Cistercian, Sunday Latin Mass at Mater Dei and a Spanish Mass at St. Luke's. I also like hanging out with friends at the Opus Dei center which is just down Northgate drive."
"I got an internship at a law firm in downtown Dallas."
"Lots of 500 fortune companies in the DFW area. I feel like I'm a step ahead just
by being at a university minutes away from a city."
"When my family visited me, I took them to the Dallas Zoo and had a blast."
"I can't believe I'm minutes away from feeding a giraffe at the zoo."
"I'm a painter and pursuing an MFA at UD. I go to the art museums nearby."
"I even got my paintings displayed at one of the Dallas art galleries."
