Review of University of Northern Colorado

from OR

Describe your college in three sentences.

Northern Colorado is a friendly school that offers a variety of different programs. The campus is large, but really feels like home. The staff really connect with students, which makes the whole experience even better.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you are looking for a school for performing arts, teaching, or nursing, look no further. That is not to say that the other programs are not top notch as well. UNC is a close-knit community that will help you reach whatever your goal maybe.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

You get out of it what you put in. There are programs made to challenge you, such as the Honors Program, or the Presidential Leadership Program. But if you are here to slide through college, that can be done as well.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

There are dorms here for every type of person. If you want to live with a lot of people, you can have that. If you want a more quiet experience, they have that too. None of the dorms are overly expensive, which makes picking the right one even easier, because cost is not an issue.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food here at UNC is superb. You never get bored, because there is always something new. With three dining halls throughout campus, you are never to far away from your next meal.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

With this school being so into the performing arts, there is always something to do around campus. There are plays, band concerts, and art exhibits all the time. We also house a variety of Division I athletic teams if that is your thing. The city of Greeley may not be the most exciting place in the world, but there are things to do none the less. There are different clubs and bars located not far off campus if that is your kind of thing.

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

With CU and CSU not too far away, these three schools are always compared. But the truth is is that UNC is the most affordable, and you get your money's worth.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

There are little blue posts all around campus that alert the police if there if anyone presses the button on them. But, these have never needed to be used, because this campus is very safe.
