Watch your head! Here comes more yogurt.

While attending the University of Dayton, Brian Bourne religion teacher, had many good experiences. At a block party called Lows, a vendor gave out free samples of yogurt.

The students at Dayton thought it would be a great idea to start a food fight, and yogurt was flying everywhere. This is just one of thousands of great memories you could have by attending Dayton.

The University of Dayton is a nonprofit, private Catholic Marianist University. It ranks among the top ten Catholic universities in the country.

Although Dayton is a Catholic university, according to Bourne it isn’t a strictly-based Catholic school. “They don’t force you to go to Mass, but the option is there. At Dayton there is always a religious undertone,” said Bourne.

At the University of Dayton there are around 7,000 students with a student-teacher ratio of 14 to 1. The average class size is made up of about 27 students.

“Dayton has phenomenal teachers, phenomenal classes. The teachers are world renowned. Mrs. Tilley was surely the best. She would bring in articles referencing her name,” said Bourne.
