Adams state university has an amazing Art program that gives students many resources for their personal art projects.
I enjoy the smaller class sizes and how having those small class sizes allows for a stronger relationship with professors for help in class and possible letters of recommendation down the line.
Ever since I started my journey in the nursing program at Adams State University, I've been hit with a wave of disappointment, disrespect, and emotional distress. It's been tough trying to stay positive and motivated amidst the constant ridicule and questioning from faculty and staff, who have failed to offer any form of support or encouragement. Looking back on my time in this nursing program, it's hard not to feel a sense of unfortunate circumstances. Investing so much time and energy into a program, only to be met with such negativity and mistreatment, is disheartening to say the least. The lack of effective communication and the passive-aggressive behavior exhibited by some instructors have made learning and personal growth extremely challenging. Dealing with power-hungry educators who seem to derive satisfaction from belittling and disempowering students is beyond frustrating. No student should ever be made to feel disrespected.

Adams State University is my home! My college experience couldn't have been better. From the university's small class sizes to its beautiful mountain location, Adams has so much to offer its students. The professors really take an interest in student success. I had the opportunity to partake in internships/work-study, class field trips, and extra-curricular activities every semester. There is always an opportunity for tutoring as well. Since the class sizes are small, you can always drop by your professor's office hours for extra assistance. The small-town feel really adds to the university's charm. Everyone is friendly and always willing to lend a helping hand. Adams State University prepared me for my career goals and my experience encouraged me to continue my education with Adams State's online graduate program.
In person is definitely the way to go if you attend this school because online is all over the place and pretty hard to navigate around as well as the teachers are way less involved in helping depending on the class. In person was good though, as a basketball player I did not do much other than play basketball and do school but the environment was nice. It was always very cold so if you do not like cold then it is not for you.
I took an online course with Adam state it was my English 101 and 102 course as well as stayed on the campus for my time in upward bound all teachers and staff were friendly and I felt welcomed and knew that this would a college that I definitely want to continue to go to.
Adams State University is a great bargain school, but it is obviously not a top ranking university. However, the sense of community is greater than any other school because everyone knows each other and every professor wants to see you reach your greatest potential. The classes are small so it is very personalized. The campus is a perfect size, not too small, not too big. The campus events are always fun to go to, especially in the summer. The dorms are fantastic too. It is almost guaranteed that you will have your own room and there are plenty of dorms to choose from. Most underclassmen get a dorm room slightly larger than a normal one or they live in suites with rooms twice the size of a room in any other university. The suites come with bathrooms. There are also super-suites which are the size of small apartments. I am a freshman and I live in one. The food is alright.
Adams State is a smaller university which was one of my reason for choosing to attend there. It is easy to have a student-professor relationship, get one on one help, and plan for the future.
Adams state is an excellent college in the remote area of the San Luis Valley. However, it does not compare to those in less remote areas. It lacks amenities because of its remoteness. the campus is small and the social life in Alamosa is the same. It is a good institution for the price as you can afford the degree for your FASFA.
It is very close to home. I love the atmosphere when I went to go tour the campus. I cant wait to attend here in the future.
I absolutely loved the tour; it seems so well rounded, and my friends and I love it. I'm looking forward to being back in my mother's old town. I enjoy the size of the dorms and how amazing the residentiary is.
I am a Senior high School student at Monte Vista High School. I took 1 class at Adams online my junior year and I am now currently taking 2 more
The environment is very nice, everybody is very welcoming and friendly. Everybody pushes you to be better and have a good time . Makes sure you’re on task and do good!
Im an incoming freshman at Adams so I cant tell you much. I will be playing softball there and im happy with my choice. The campus is nice and the town is small and quite and cold. Im from california so its a change but im excited.
Adams State University is great for students who are looking for that personal connection in their higher education. At Adams, you are more than just a number in a sea of many numbers. As a student at Adams, your professors know you by your name and are willing to help you on your higher education journey. This personal connection can really help you stay invested in your college education and even help steer your career path.
Located in a very small town, not much to do. Great local restaurants. The Sand Dunes is about 30 minutes away and the area is great if you’re an outdoorsy person. Great local community and met some amazing friends. Honestly would probably not be attending Adams if I wasn’t playing a sport.
I really liked my classes, my professors, and my classmates/colleagues.
The on campus living wasn't always the best, but it was peaceful enough to enjoy and get by with.

You can tell that the teachers here care about the students and want to make sure that they succeed. The dorms here need a little upgrading, I used to live in them and it took them 2 months to fix a light fixture. Food is okay not great, they switch up the food. Sometimes its good but sometimes it's not, if you are from a small town this is the college for you
Buildings seemed newly renovated which was nice but that’s about everything they have to offer you. Classes aren’t anything amazing. The only people that actually left an impression on me were the psychology professors. Food is subpar. The main chef would make some great food sometimes but he wasn’t there a lot so a lot of the time it was bland or just bad food in general, just seems to be the funding they give to them isn’t enough. Like the eggs at brunch weren’t even real eggs. My JuCo had better food which is embarrassing. Administration is not handled well at all. It takes days, weeks, even months to get a call back from anyone in admin. I was an athlete there which is why most people go. If you’re not an athlete you probably won’t make lots of friends unless you have good social skills or get lucky enough to have an athlete roommate. Don’t do JV sports. They rope you in with a promise of playing varsity but it’s just a scam. Take the juco route instead.
Adams isn't bad, however the town of Alamosa is small and can kind of feel claustrophobic to me at times. I am also wanting more challenge in my academics as well as more opportunities for my career path.
