Many of the professors recognize and target subject matter that was (or is) under-taught in high school. As a result, I learned biology with new eyes and discovered a passion for it that I didn't know was possible because of a poor high school biology curriculum. In addition, the student resources on campus reinforce and encourage student growth in such a way that failing a course is simply out of the question.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The diversity of students on campus is enjoyable; people from different ethnic backgrounds, age groups, and opinions all mix to form a melting pot of students. I also enjoy the fact that the campus is not a cliche college experience: most of the students commute from Denver or its surrounding cities, meaning that students on campus aren't necessarily absorbed in the best dorm party that weekend or the current roommate drama. However, despite these benefits, I find the prevalent smoking on campus to be a turn-off that only besmirches student pride, school reputation, and the campus itself.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Classes are extremely affordable at UCD, especially for in-state students. In addition, many of the resources offered to Community College of Denver or Metropolitan State College of Denver students are available to UCD students, which maximizes the benefits one can receive from student fees.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
UCD is not a typical college experience, so if you are looking for a movie-like university life, you might have to look elsewhere. In addition, UCD is stronger in the natural sciences and pre-health career paths, so if you are more interested in fine arts or social sciences, you might want to consider another college.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students majoring in health careers or natural sciences will thrive here. In addition, students who are looking for a different college experience that is not as widely marketed in the media or entertainment scene will find their place at University of Colorado Denver.
