DONT GO HERE! Unless you are rich its hard to get a loan here. Oh and forget about tracking down papaer work becous they wont do it. Infact tey tell you to fill out formes incorrectly! Out of two other schools i hav been to, by far the worst. What is even worse is that if they start a class and dont telly you about it, then you try to withdraw, they still want their moeny!

From my experience, about 1/4 of the teachers are really great, 1/2 are neutral, and 1/4 are just aweful and shouldn't be teaching. I spend half my time learning for the classes that teach well and the other half learning how to "work the system" and I've noticed many of my peers do the same. Lab teachers are all students who have taken the class before. Students who are "A" students and don't mind trying to learn things on their own do fine typically, but students like me who are "B" students and gain from class room learning and lectures seem to complain more about the teachers inability to teach. Advising is really unorginized. The food area is good and ok priced. Alot of new buildings are being built, 3 since I've been attending, so the campus looks nice. The price of parking is insane and just to visit the school for a day it is $8. Campus saftey is good. It also has nice views of pikes peak and a nice library.

I completed a degree from this university. Overall, it is what you make of it, and I ended up with exactly the job I wanted paying a lot less for tuition than Boulder would have been. But keep two things in mind: 1) there is NO social life at this school whatsoever, 2) the career services center does not attract the best companies...

The university faculty - (professors/TA's/Instructors) are incredibly helpful. They're involved in your learning at every opportunity.

Those working in administration, though, (student assistance/bursar's office/registrar's) are so incredibly caught up in the bureaucracy of the school, they can't get a damn thing done, on anyone's behalf. Not only are they rude, and inconsiderate, but their jobs are completely pointless. I've never seen anyone get so little done in the course of a day.

As for the students, if you're an undergrad who's serious about school, this is not the place for you. I've been in classes where only 1/5 of the students who register for it, show up.

If you want to be graded on a super skewed curve because your fellow classmates are braindead retards who think their parents are shelling out 30K a year for college so they can jack off, drink, and party, all day... I guess you should go here.

You may be thinking - But people have pretty high GPA's and test scores - Yes, they do. But once they get here, something happens, and their brains are smoked, drank, screwed, and totally drugged right out of their bodies.
