WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT DYU? The people. Everyone is so helpful, support, and knowledgeable of each other and our students. That’s what it is all about.
IF YOU COULD BE ANY FLAVOR OF ICE CREAM, WHAT WOULD YOU BE AND WHY? I would be Rocky Road flavored. Chocolate Ice Cream is classic, sweet, and smooth. Occasionally, you get the crunch of a tasty almond or a soft and delightful marshmallow.

Eliza's favorite thing about DYU?
My favorite thing about D’Youville is the family-feel. Everyone seems to know each other, from faculty and staff to the students. I also love seeing students go from their high school selves through open house and their move in day.
If you could be any flavor of ice cream, what would you be and why?
If I could be any flavor? I would be Let’s Dough Buffalo. I’ve always been a huge fan of all things Buffalo, but this ice cream is amazing. It’s got a cookie dough base (a staple, solid choice), but also has thick cookie swirls. There are some places where you would miss out on the cookie swirls, but other parts where it’s rich. I think this would be me because like cookie dough, I’m always there. And at the same time, I add something a little bit more fun to the classic.

Ben's favorite thing about DYU?
I would say that my favorite thing about being a part of D’Youville University would be the sense of community one has once they step foot on campus. Whether you are a member of the Faculty and Staff, a current student, perspective student, or family members, we are all here to help one another reach potential goals and individual accomplishments.
If you could be any flavor of ice cream, what would you be and why?
If I could be any flavor of ice cream, I would have to go with ol' reliable Peanut Butter Cup. The best of both worlds, chocolate and peanut butter. You can’t go wrong!

Mary's favorite thing about DYU?
DYU offers a supportive community that provides academic, social, spiritual, and professional development to our students. The tight-knit community gives a home away from home comfort that allows students to thrive.
If you could be any flavor of ice cream what would you be and why?
I would choose chocolate because it is my favorite, and you always know what you’re going to get. You can make it even better by adding chocolate chips, cookie dough, nuts, sprinkles, or anything you would like!

Kaylee's Favorite thing about DYU?
My favorite thing about DYU is the overall commitment to the student experience that is so deeply rooted in every aspect of the university. Faculty, staff, and fellow students go above and beyond to make every day here something special and meaningful.
If you could be any flavor of ice cream, what would you be and why?
If I could be any flavor of ice cream, I would be Perry’s Queen of Hearts. It’s a dark chocolate ice cream with raspberry swirls and fudge filled hearts. I love raspberries and they just work so well with dark chocolate – the best combination out there in my opinion.
