Review of Metropolitan State University of Denver

from Aurora, CO

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The teachers are amazing here. I have been a student since 2009; when I began my college journey I had no idea what to expect. I was actually very intimidated from what was to come. The professors are very friendly and easy to work with. The education is tough at times, but the professors are incredibly willing to guide you through the work. My experience in the classroom has been a very enjoyable experience, and the knowledge I have gained through the years is worth every minute spent.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The campus is great; it is a diverse environment where people speak freely about many topics. It is very difficult to not get involved. There are so many things to do, with clubs and organizations everywhere as well as fraternities. The only problem I would say is the campus is an Open Smoking campus. I am not a smoker and I do not enjoy the second hand smoke I get walking from class to class. Otherwise the campus is a very positive environment and very student oriented.

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

Every dollar spent on this campus truly stays here. Abundant knowledge is gained at Metro and every dollar spent truly goes toward learning. The text books are incredibly useful because they completely sync with what the professors have planned in the syllabus. Textbooks can be pricey, but with the help of online purchasing and bookstores scattered throughout downtown Denver; also there are many other students willing to trade books, there is no reason to complain about the price of textbooks with that many alternatives.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

I believe the most important part of school is to stay on top of assignments. Getting to class on time is also a huge part of success, when class starts, class starts. There is no backtracking or filling in. Most of college routine is picked up by the students, a person has to discipline themselves in order to learn the way of the student. With a great environment at Metro, it is easy to get int he groove of college life.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This is a great campus for students who like the urban atmosphere. It is great for people who like to connect with others from different backgrounds and cultures.
