Was not impressed with the student body of Meto State. The students were very snotty, stuck up and close minded. No social life whatsoever. I've been to other universities and colleges and my community college had more social interaction then Metro. Everyone is constantly on myspace or their cellphone. Everyone keeps to themselves. The professors are a lot times disgruntled and part time. Others are alright. Bottom line is, not impressed at all. Tired of being harrassed for money on my way to class from street hustlers and bums. They have a soup kitchen on campus. The library is a dump filled with bums. The campus is lacking serious renovation funding. It's done, good riddance! Only good if you know people from high school and are from Denver.
Education Quality: B, Collaboration/Competitive: F

I don't find Metro to be challenging at all. With few exceptions, and I really mean just a few, the teachers are lenient, they don't inspire, and they have an air about them. Most don't change their teaching styles to fit with the particular learning styles of different students, and busywork seems to have its unwritten place on each syllabus.

Not so bright
I liked Metro for what it was. It was an opportunity for someone like myself who did not perform so well in high school. The life experience of most of the professors did pique my interest more than professors of an elitist school would have. It's a good school for no nonsense students and certainly NOT a party school. Looking back I give it an overall positive experience.

Super Brilliant
To be most honest, this school presents about as much of a challenge as a telecourse in home taxidermy. My personal experience is that one does more work (and harder work) to get through community college courses than Metro requires. The faculty is well chosen for their skill sets, not for their teaching ability. Vague instructions are the norm, with subjective grading being the standard method. This is not to say I have a bone to pick, I currently have a 3.9 GPA. I just believe that a higher level of academic rigor is needed at this school. However, this style and level of teaching will do well to prepare students for the often vague, subjective world of industry which awaits each and every eager graduate just waiting to have their dreams crushed by economies of scale.
On another note, I am of the opinion that the lack of educational quality at Metro is well known within the state, and may have a severe negative impact on later employability for its graduates. Again, just my opinion.
As a side note, I have heard absolute horrors from friends who are ESL students. The Writing Center has told a number of them that they are unable to help ESL students on their papers because "It would just take too long to teach ESL students what they need to know in order to present a decent paper." Which is complete garbage. Most ESL students have a better grasp of the English language than the average American.
I would leave this school immediately if it weren't for family ties keeping me in Denver for the next two years.
