I just wanted a degree. I liked Sociology and thought, "why not" and got a BA in Sociology. I never joined any extra organizations, but the facility had the ability to get me involved. They asked me to join in department meetings and to help influence school policy. These professors see the students as people with potential and I am truly grateful for the schooling I received.

I have yet to find a single faculty member that is ready to help you in any department- from admissions, to financial aid, to the bookstore. Everyone seems snooty and self-absorbed. If you're in a hurry to talk to someone, don't bother calling. I've never been on hold less than 30 minutes when I try to reach any department. It is common to get conflicting answers from different staff members concerning financial aid and records, and they are unapologetic even after they realize the problem at hand is their mistake. Classes are huge and teachers, even if they genuinely want to help you, just don't have time because they have to hurry from class to class and always have a line of students waiting for help. This will definitely be my last semester at this school, and I can not wait to transfer.

I am a Colorado resident who chose UCCS hoping it would be a decent and affordable University to get a Bachelor's degree from. Two years in I realized how much I have been ripped off. The academics are second rate. The campus is in a terrible location. The faculty are alright and will help you, but other places offer better help and better education. Thankfully I'm transferring to CU Boulder to pursue physics and get my life back on track. If you care about going to a good university with good academics, save yourself the pain and don't apply here.
