I love the diverse community that make up the student body on campus! There are so many people from different towns, states, and even countries! On top of this, each person sports a myriad of interests, classes, and work experience. Students are very ambitious at this campus, which allows you to surround yourself with people who strive to be the very best at whatever they apply themselves to. Ultimately this pushes you to challenge what you know, defend what you believe in, and in the end, make you a better person.
MSU Denver is a Fabulous school! There is a great amount of majors students can pick from that include basic or extended majors as well as minors. The staff is very involved and care a lot about the success of students, along with the school advisers. The student life is vivid given the location of the school in Downtown Denver where there is also a wide diversity among the students as well as the staff. A big issue that is seen across the country is how expensive school can be; MSU Denver has a financial aid office that allows for walk-ins at any time and gives great help with any financial questions that students may have. Not only is there financial aid, but the school is affordable to many students. MSU Denver is a great school for anyone!
Metro is a great school! I chose Metro because of it's affordability compared to many other universities in Colorado. Many of the professors are great and really care about your success; there are also tons of resources that even I myself haven't taken advantage of. The only downside (or upside, depends on how you view it) is that it is a commuter school. There is not necessarily a "life on campus" as there aren't even any dorms on campus itself. This makes it harder to stay involved.
