Review of University of Colorado Denver

from Colorado Springs, CO

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I've only taken a few classes so far, mostly English and humanity classes, but I've enjoyed them very much. I had some problems my first semester, but I was able to work with my teachers and still able to push myself to finish off the year strong.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Mostly for just the general Denver area, it's easy to get around. RTD's, including the light rail and busline, can get you all around downtown and then some. Being a student at this school or other schools on the Auraria campus will give you free access to it, think a little extra to go to DIA, but still. There are always events going on at campus and if you don't want to do those, there is always the 16th street mall.

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

Goes along with the last comment. Pretty much everything is included what you pay, so you pay for just whatever extra you do at places you go, but like I said, there are lots of things to do that don't cost money, especially if you don't mind window shopping.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Definitely talk with counselors about your career path. I learned that medical schools don't like to see online classes on transcripts. I took three, so I know I'm not going to take anymore. You can get helpful tips and suggestions to help make school easier, more enjoyable, and more successful.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

I think the school would be great for almost any student. The school though is blossoming in its health sciences, and it has its own medical campus associated with it, a reason why I came. It has a business, social justice, engineering, liberal arts and sciences, and media and technology schools, though I'm sure I'm missing some too. The school offers so much, the only thing it doesn't is culinary arts, which I would have taken for sure if they did!
