If you want an easy education that will get you a peice of paper, then this is the school for you. If you want to be challenged and prepared for a career in your field, then I would look elsewhere. This is a good school for the general classes, higher level learning classes cater more towards the students who could care less about their education.
Friendliness: A-, Education Quality: F

As a History Major, the only good thing I can say about this school is that it's teachers are amazing individuals. They really care that you learn and succeed, and I have seen many staying very late to meet with students to discuss just about anything, so long as it helps the student.

It kind of all goes downhill from there. The school charges an incredible amount of money for what they provide; and what they provide ain't much. There is a general attitude that students should participate in extracurricular activities, which would be fine, if it weren't for the fact that the school is a commuter campus. And the staff can be really hit or miss here. Don't even get me started on the problems with the school's technical problems (I don't want to be typing for another two hours) but the one thing that I will say is that the Wi-fi is just awful, and many freshman course teachers are extremely anti-tech, to the point of refusing to even check their own e-mail, let alone allowing laptops in the classroom.If you want a real degree that you can use in life, I suggest you go elsewhere. If you just need a degree so you can apply for a job at McDonalds, I only suggest you go elsewhere because of how expensive MSUD is.
Faculty Accessibility: A+, Useful Schoolwork: D-

I spent some of the best years of my life at this (now) University. I have had work in my fields (Media/Writing) since I graduated and I am going back to finish a second degree.

I did the big university thing for a year, and it wasn't my style. At metro you are a 5 minute walk from downtown Denver... not fairyland college town, but the real world.

Class sizes are small and they give you every oppertunity in the world to succeed. The professors are often PHds or people with years of professional experience in their field.This University is awesome.
Scholastic Success: A+, Social Life: C
