Review of Community College of Denver

from Denver, CO

Describe your college in three sentences.

CCD has an excellent teaching staff who are dedicated to helping students succeed. The school is filled with students of all ages and ethnicity, and this gives the school a real sense of community. There is a large number of classes during the day, evening, and online, so it's easy to go to school with any hectic schedule.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Get to know the staff, and use all of the tools and programs available so it'll be easy to succeed.

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

There are courses for all levels, and if you're excelling in a particular area, some of the staff offer extra work to provide more of a challenge in their class.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Although I haven't experienced this from CCD, I have heard nothing but good things about it.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

There are several kiosks around campus that offer quick bites. I also love that the vending machines on campus also offer healthy options. The main dining hall in the Tivoli offers many choices for whatever your hungry for.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

The theater on campus is always showing great indie films and documentaries. There's also a hangout room with pool tables and other games. The campus is also a short walk from Denver's major stadiums, so it's easy to go to a Rockies, Broncos, Nuggets or Avalanche game.

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

Great prices, so it's a good inexpensive start before transferring to a four year college.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The campus is filled with historic sites from the first settlers who came here during the Gold Rush.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Great for social students and anyone who wants to transfer to Metro or CU since they're on the same campus as CCD.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Everything from Snowboarding, Rock Climbing to Chess clubs. There are activities for every kind of student.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Not much experience here, but they are always recruiting since Metro and CU are all on the same campus.

Everyone looks out for each other, but aside from that there are emergency phones everywhere on campus.
