Review of Adams State University

from Colorado

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The classes here are taught by real professors, most with PhDs and the classes are small enough to actually ask questions. They learn your name here and care whether or not you understand the material.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Alamosa is a small town. But, There are plenty of things to do on campus, like free lectures, movie screenings, and clubs.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Still one of the cheapest four year school in the state. And, they're doing a lot of renovations right now on the dorms, apartments, and academic buildings.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Stock up on the DVDs and take advantage of the on-campus cable. It's usually sunny and windy. In August it's really hot, but it gets cold quickly, really cold. Be prepared for professors to recognize you outside of class, they'll know when you're skipping.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

If you don't care about all the hype from the big name universities, and your major has a program here, this could be the perfect college for you. The classes will teach you the subject materail and the student loans will end up being a lot cheaper in the long run.
