The campus is one of the most efficient in terms of class schedules and use of classroom space. The atmosphere is fast paced and exciting lying in the heart of downtown Denver. I enjoy being on campus everyday with the opportunity to explore the city.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Going to UCD was the best decision I ever made. As a state resident, I have the option to live at home, on campus or in a dorm so if dorm living isn't an atmosphere a prospective student is looking for, the other options are available. The University is very supportive of students, with review sessions and recitations for classes. Many professors are easy to contact and are very approachable.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
This depends on what field of study you're considering. As a pre-med student, the demands are high but unlike other university's the class schedules, exams and lectures don't take up as much time. I went to CSU my freshman year and I found that taking chemistry there was much more time consuming and harder to grasp but then after I transferred, the chemistry department was more available to help a student and didn't schedule exams outside of lecture at 7pm on a Thursday (which I found to be very inconvenient at CSU)
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Depends on what living situation you prefer, but with the choice to live on campus, move downtown or stay at home, the university is very accommodating to a student's preferences.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
16th st mall is 2 blocks away, restaurants are everywhere within blocks of the university as well as the typical fast food places that are on campus.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
across the street from the Pepsi Center, Elitch Gardens, blocks away from bars, dining, shopping etc.
