The verdict

Worth considering

This is a pragmatic pick for students who want the DU pedigree, a tight-knit cohort of 31, and serious reading and research chops without student debt. Just know that campus placements are selective (~45%), there is no hostel, and you will need to network independently for internships and freelance gigs.
