Metro is a school that offers a lot of potential and I have truly enjoyed my experience there. Overall I have had wonderful instructors and now that I am getting closer to earning my degree, I find that I have very knowledgeable professors in my department. I work in the Food Bank under the office of Student Life and have loved being able to work this work-study job, which allows me to do my homework when my work is done for the day.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get to know financial aid and how it works early on, and don't be afraid to ask questions - those who work in there are mostly students and will know how to work with you. Don't be afraid to talk to your instructors and get to know them - office hours not only help you understand the work involved for the class, but also help you make connections with professors. And always keep contact with other students - you'll be able to help each other out!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Overall I have been very impressed by the working knowledge of my professors. Again, don't be shy about asking them for help.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I don't live on campus; I live in an off-campus apartment.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There are a lot of places to eat around campus and in their Food Court in the Tivoli Building on the north side of campus; there is also a food bank where students can get a few items per week just by being a Metro student.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Since Metro is just on the west edge of Downtown Denver, you are within walking distance of the 16th Street Mall, which has a lot to do. There are various clubs and activities going on at campus all the time. You have access to many different things with your Metro ID card; just ask!
