This was the worst school I have ever attended. I had a family tragedy happen so I had to move back to Denver and I thought it would be a good idea to keep going to school during the few months while I was out here.

The teachers are oblivious, stupid and biased. Most of the students are first generation college students, so yeah, not too bright there. There was at least one pregnant, nineteen year old girl in each of my classes and two people who had been to prison in my English class. No class disscusions, only lecturing from a shitty, biased, white man's textbook. The campus is disgusting, the students are trashy and the curriculum is easy as hell. I got all A's this semester, and I never even bought my textbooks. I'm afraid I may have gotten even more stupid having been in this environment for five months. If your smart and have the ability to take out student loans, go someone else. If you plan on getting pregnant your freshman year, selling weed and listening to your headphones real loud during lectures, this is definitely the place for you. Metro is the biggest waste of my time to anyone worth value.
Friendliness: B-, Education Quality: F

I double majored in psychology and anthropology while working full time. That being said, this was the perfect college for me. I didn't get involved in extracurricular activities and I didn't care about making a bunch of friends just because I didn't have the time. If you're looking for the traditional college experience of making tons of friends, partying, joining extracurricular groups, and sororities/fraternities, this probably isn't the college for you. If you want a college experience that is a little more mature/serious and focused primarily on learning, Metro is for you.

I found the professors and curriculum for the psychology department and anthropology department to be high quality. I actually thought that quite a few of the professors in these departments could have easily fit in at Harvard or Yale. I didn't think any of them were handing out easy A's. I worked very hard for my GPA. My only complaints were how much I was charged for parking. I had to rush from work to school or school to work and didn't have time to use the bus or light rail. Students are charged the bus pass fee regardless of if they use it or not. Metro also makes you have health insurance and will make you pay for their costly plan if your insurance doesn't meet their standards, but I guess a lot of colleges have this policy?
