UCD is a school located in the heart of Denver. UCD shares it's campus with two other colleges so it gives you both the big university and small university vibe at the same time. There is never a dull moment!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Either do really well on the SAT/ACTs or do well in school because if you get accepted and you're an out-of-state student, then you are eligible for becoming a Denver Bound scholarship student!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Being a Denver Bound student I have to upkeep a 3.5 GPA to keep my scholarship money. Although getting a 3.5 in high school was not difficult at all, knowing that now I'm in college keeping that high of a GPA is going to be difficult so I know when it comes to being a scholarship student I will have a pretty rigorous 4 years!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
OMG. By far the BEST dorms I've seen out of all the colleges I've visited. The rooms are beautiful! The dorms are in close proximity to public transportation and it gives off a modern kickback vibe! Another perk about dorm life is if you're a Denver Bound scholarship student you are put on the same floor as other scholarship students and you can even room with students who have similar majors to you.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I like how you can get food not only by the dorms but also throughout campus. You can use your fast cash card for when you need a bagel or a coffee while on campus in a pinch!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
UCD is great when it comes to its pricing! It was actually cheaper for me to go here then to stay home and go to one of the major universities in Hawaii.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
One unique location on campus is the Tivoli. It's a retired brewery and it now homes our student union where you can find the UCD bookstore and computer labs. Sometimes, they host events there like speakers or conferences..
Which types of students will excel at your college?
I think UCD is great for the kinds of students who like to get involved in clubs and who are willing to live in the city. Not a lot of people can live in the city everyday and being that UCD is located in the heart of Denver, you have to be willing to work with the hustle and bustle of Denver.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
UCD has a lot of clubs, all which are diverse and unique in their own way, but they don't have a lot of sports. In fact they have none. Although it's kind of a downer, UCD does offer a lot of extracurricular activities to keep you busy with.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Being in a big city like Denver you would think that the campus might be a little unsafe. But UCD utilizes the blue light system where if at any time you feel unsafe, you can find the nearest blue light and security will be there in a minute or so. Another thing that UCD does to ensure the safety of their students is they give them the option of calling security and asking them a ride to their dorms or anywhere within a certain distance away from campus. I think the only unsafe thing about UCD is that the dorms are two blocks away from campus so it might be scary walking back to the dorms late at night.
