Cura personalis is one of my favorite aspects of Regis - it means "care for the whole person." One of the main goals Regis holds is personal development, both academically and spiritually. The aim on each individual student at Regis makes the atmosphere feel welcoming and quite like home.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I will never forget this advice that was given to me: Because Regis is such a "tight-knit community", you're best off making a few friends, preferably a small group of friends. Regis is not necessarily cliquey, but finding people who you easily relate to and bond with is key to your social life at Regis. And be ready to challenge your beliefs and opinions, but always stay true to yourself. Understand that the professors are there for your best interest, and are more than willing to help with anything you may need.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Academically, Regis is no Colorado College or Mines, but it is definitely up there. What makes Regis special, in comparison to other colleges, is its focus on the Jesuit values and implementing these in your studies. Be prepared for this, and prepare to challenge your beliefs.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Community bathrooms and sharing a small room with a complete stranger may not be your definition of fun, but it's not terrible considering the circumstances. ResLife was always sure to make us feel welcomed and comfortable, and it's not too bad. Best advice: get a good roommate. You may not always have a choice, but your year will go by much smoother if you get along with the person you live with. And keep the bathrooms clean. Please.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Out of all the universities in Colorado, Regis has some of the best food. And I'm not saying that because I am partial. Bon Appetit does such an amazing job for breakfast, lunch and dinner to provide delicious variety and healthy options for its staff, students, and visitors. I am always impressed.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
If you can't find something at Regis, which is quite impossible, downtown Denver is only 10 minutes away with fun places to eat, shopping at 16th street mall, night clubs, bar crawls, sporting events etc. In fact I recommend all students get off campus once in a while to experience what Denver has to offer. My personal favorite thing is taking a study break to get acai bowls on a Saturday morning with friends.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
College is expensive, and Regis is no different. Sure, it's private but what people do not realize is that private schools are really good at giving financial aid and awards. Just keep good grades in high school and do well on your ACT/SAT/
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Regis was built in 1877, so of course the ghost stories are endless. But the pure history of the university itself is beautiful, and to see the development of the school throughout the years is quite amazing.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who wish to receive personal, undivided attention from their professors, students who want to challenge their beliefs, students who wish to feel the utmost respect for simply attending Regis
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
We do have one official fraternity, but no frat house. Hopefully it will become larger and more successful over the next few years with the help from the university and student body involvement.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
You'd think Regis would feel less safe being directly on Federal, but campus security is around 24/7 and the campus itself is safe enough for a small female to walk around at 10 or 11 at night. Amazing.
