The University of Colorado - Denver

I am about to start my senior year in the EE department of CU denver. I advice people to stay away from this department and this school. The instructors are very lazy and hand you out their notes which they made when they were students instead of discussing and lecturing the material. They are offended by questions from students, They dont have any testing standards, you will collect A's and B's if you are a well behaved pet who is excited to their tales of what they did at IBM and other famous companies decades ago. You will not learn much and as you go through the years, none of these instructors are suprised at the elementary concepts you have missed which you should have learned in your previous classes. I thought the EE major was going to be challenging and exciting, but at CU denver all that is required of me is to be a well behaved pet!! But I see similar assignments, labs and projects from other schools on the internet and I know I miss somuch and even wonder if the instructors know the material themselves.

Perceived Campus Safety: A+, Education Quality: F

I am currently a junior at CU Denver studying electrical engineering. So far all the classes and professors in the engineering department have been pretty good. All of the students here are pretty nice, and they are always willing to help. The only bad part about this school is that it has to share the campus with two other schools, so it’s a little overcrowded. But the tuition here is really cheap, so overall it’s a good value.
