From Colorado Mesa University
More than 11,000 students from throughout Colorado, the U.S., and the world live and learn on CMU's beautiful 113-acre campus. At CMU, your professors will know you by name instead of by number, with 86% of our classes having fewer than 40 students.
If you join the Maverick family, you will have ample opportunity to challenge yourself inside and outside the classroom. We have 26 NCAA DII teams and 120+ clubs/organizations, and if that isn't enough, we are located in an outdoor recreation playground. We are just minutes from some of Colorado's best hiking, biking and skiing.

I loved the small classroom environment, and my professors were fantastic! My professors were accommodating and precise during their lectures. The classes were small enough that you learn everyone's names, but the discussions were diverse. I became so close with my fellow students that we would hang out. The political science club provided a chance to visit the state capital and hear about legislation within the state. The size of the classes allowed you to make a connection with the professors. My relationship with these educators still stands today three years after I had graduated from school! I loved my experience!.
Colorado Mesa University gave me a home away from home. The community here is loving. Everyone on this campus wants you to succeed not only in your education but life. I absolutely love it here as I feel like I am home. All of the professors want you to ask questions, be challenged. My favorite part about these professors is that they teach us in a way that makes us ask those questions. They want us to fully understand the content without it feeling like a required class. Not only do the professors treat their students like adults, they are understanding. They understand if one could get sick or an urgent matter came by. They all understand that sometimes things happen. The love and support everyone gives to one another from the community blows me away. This is the perfect town to have a University. I always tell high school students who are looking at different colleges to start their future that they should consider CMU. CMU is the perfect place to call Home Sweet Home.
Amazing teachers, friendly staff. They offer a lot of different clubs that you can join for a variety of activities that interest you. They also have a lot of non school activities such as bingo night and s’more making out side some of the halls and other fun activities that are all completely free and I great way to meet you fellow students. They also offer sever great programs free to use for students such as tutoring, counselling and help with class schedules, and other such questions or concerns you might have for anything involving the school.
