Major: Social Work (This Major's Salary over time)
The School of Social Work at CU is a collection of administration, faculty and students, with more emphasis put on funding and more funding for the school. Hence, the large student body at about $33,000/head.

The SW school at CU does not provide various courses to take or choose from when you have an elective slot open. Moreover, cross-registering is not highly advertised. The administration has been very unhelpful in terms of course/class advising. My own "advisor" did not know she was my advisor (I did not blame her because she was new). Moreover, the individual who handles student questions is not very helpful. Again, I do not blame her because she is the only one available for about 800 students.

There is a complete disconnect between administration and students that at times it is very frustrating. So far, my experience at this school has been very negative. I would rather have spent my money elsewhere. They advertise international social welfare but do not have a strong foundation for international courses/nor study abroad programs.

They are very helpful when it comes to financial aid. They will answer and loan you money as soon as possible.

You're in this article because you want StudentsReviews about the school and I'm going to give them to you. I really liked the school a lot but there were some things that rubbed me the wrong way. You need to check IEcasimile and get some new tips related to the games. Online casinos are a great resource for many different people. If you're looking for a great community of people who are really interested in giving back then read on to find out more.
