The University of Colorado - Denver

Campus Maintenance: A+, Faculty Accessibility: F

I recently transferred to CU Denver from UNC in Greeley. UNC is a dump! After my first semester at UNC I knew it was not the place for me and transferred. Every aspect of CU Denver is better. Cool campus with a laid back vibe. If you're planning to go to college in Colorado, CU Denver should definitely be considered. Commuting to campus is super convenient, your student ID serves as a bus and light rail pass. I've met a lot of cool people and all my professors thus far have been extremely helpful. Very diverse student body, people from all types of different backgrounds. I just love the atmosphere being next to downtown Denver.

So far my time hear at University of Colorado Denver has been very pleasant. I love location of the campus being right next to Downtown Denver. I have a apartment not too far from campus so walking to class is nice. I think the Auraria Campus is very unique because it shares three schools in one campus, don't really think that's a good thing because I think CU Denver's reputation could be a lot stronger if it was one school. The location gives it a different urban vibe. A lot of students commute but they're a lot of students who live nearby and in student housing. Currently a lot of campus construction is going on and believe in the next 10 years there will be some major improvements at Auraria. The plan calls for each institution branching off into their own neighborhoods, giving each their own identity.

I've met some really nice people on campus and the professors are very helpful. I've had good experiences so far meeting with some of my professors during their office hours. Classes have been pretty challenging a interesting for the most part. If you like Denver I would highly recommend this university. I plan on going straight into grad school here at CU Denver.
