Junior: Academics is great! However, the community aspect is not great if you are commuter. There is also not a substantial amount of school spirit here. If you are looking for more of the 'college experience", this probably isnt the school for you. Regis has a big focus on academics and has many resources for you to be sucessful....

Graduate Student: The University of Colorado Denver has a uniquely diverse and community-oriented campus that is made up of many cultures, backgrounds and orientations with a dedicated drive to engage everyone with one another for a satisfying college journey.

Alum: Colorado Christian University was by far the best college! They had a great teaching program which actively got you into the classroom starting your freshman year. I transferred in my junior year and was blessed by how much effort and kindness they showed me. Although the chapel requirements seemed lengthy, they were not and easily obtainable. I would highly recommend Colorado Christian University as a college as a whole but particularly for a teaching pursuit.... Read 1,345 reviews

Junior: UNCO is an excellent school with a strong sense of community. Students are friendly with each other, there are ample clubs and groups to join on campus, and many of the professors are happy to work with students individually and provide resources and help. There are many dorm halls so students won't have to worry about being unable to find housing. The dining hall food is average at best, but luckily there are other dining options such as Einstein's Bagels, Subway, Starbucks, and more being constructed. The campus is walkable too, with lots of green areas and even a frisbee golf course. Personally, I'm having a lot of fun in my classes and have made lots of friends, so I'm excited to complete my degree here!... Read 2,272 reviews

The courses are very easy to follow and the professors are excellent. I was expecting college to be a little overwhelming, but CTU has been a breeze! I couldn’t thank my Professors enough for taking the time to be sure that each student is feeling confident throughout the course; Anytime I ever needed help I got it immediately.

Sophomore: I have had a great experience at Front Range! My professors take time to ensure each student understands the curriculum, and are very supportive and accessible. There are also many career opportunities at this school for students who may need the extra financial support. In terms of improvement, I believe Front Range can create more informative events on all the different programs they offer because there are many many programs which means there are also many questions that may not be as easy to find online.

Alum: ACC gave me a great jumping-off point to my college career. I was able to earn my associate's degree in two years while working full-time to pay my tuition, due to the flexible mix of online and in-person classes. I was able to work on the editing team for Progenitor Art and Literary Magazine, the literary journal of ACC, and explore my other interests due to their variety of electives. I transferred my degree to a university, finished my bachelor's, and am now pursuing a master's degree. ACC provided many opportunities for support to help me get here!... Read 747 reviews

Freshman: My experience here has been pretty good. I have been taking Aims courses since my junior year of high school. One thing I particularly enjoy is how attentive the guidance counselors have been and how they are willing to help not only on a academic level but on a personal one as well. I am currently enrolled in the Automotive Service program and am impressed at the state of everything in the Windsor campus, from the Public Safety Institute building to the Automotive and Technology Center, everything is very clean and organized.

Alum: This is a fantastic community college! Classes are very affordable compared to larger colleges, and if you don't have the funds to pay for tuition at the beginning of the semester, the Financial Aid office will help you find a solution. Furthermore, RRCC offers a wide variety of online, in-person, or hybrid classes to suit your schedule, and most of them are guaranteed to transfer to other colleges in Colorado. The professors are very supportive and want you to succeed with your academic goals. Plus, I prefer the small class sizes here over the larger, more intimidating classes at state universities. Also, it has great facilities and resources including a brand new student rec center, an IDEA lab to introduce students to engineering, the Arvada campus dedicated to the health sciences, a bookstore, and a coffee shop. The only complaint I have is that student clubs and organizations haven't quite recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic.... Read 769 reviews

Freshman: Overall I have had a fantastic experience with Community College of Denver. From the very beginning after submitting my FAFSA, to picking my degree plan, through enrolling in classes, they have been quick, efficient and very helpful. I did run into a small hiccup at the very beginning as I had originally filled out my application for the Fall/Spring semesters of the 23-24 year; however, I quickly changed my mind and wanted to begin taking classes as early as the Summer 23. While this may not have caused me any trouble if I had selected the correct major from the start, I ran into some trouble after changing from doing a certificate plan straight into the AAS degree plan, and it took some finessing to fix my enrollment to correctly show the degree plan, and therefore allow financial aid to cover my classes. While it was a small struggle, they were very helpful the whole time until we had it fixed!... Read 985 reviews

Sophomore: I've been a PCC student since about 2018. Since then I've recieved an associates in general studies and my CNA certification, as well as my CPR cert. Currently pursuing nursing. My experience has been mostly incredible. The only thing that heavily disappoints me is that PCC closed Pueblo Joe's which was a community hang out spot and eatery. PCC Pueblo Campus hasn't been the same since COVID closed it down in 2020. I feel as if the student life aspect lacks heavily. Overall, there is little to no life on campus these days. Thats the most disappointing part. But I've known some incredible professors here!... Read 491 reviews

Sophomore: My time at Colorado Mountain College has been a great experience as a non-traditional student. Returning to school later in life is daunting at best, but the staff at CMC ensured I was supported in a way that made my journey attainable and affordable. Their selection of online courses is large, especially after the pandemic, and they have campuses that are spread out enough to accommodate a large portion of the state. It's made going back to school far less scary than I thought!... Read 348 reviews

Alum: 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.... Read 598 reviews

Graduate Student: I have been a student of the CCA since January 2021 up until Summer of 2023 when I completed my associates of science degree. I still have ambition to continue my education at the establishment as a graduate student since I am only a senior in high school who has been able to use the dual enrollment system to its full potential. The college has a wide variety of courses to choose from with many also being available online for convenience. CentreTech Campus offers you many useful resources while Lowry Campus contains locations specialized for certain types of education such as medicine or photography. The college also has a very diverse culture which makes social bonding an essential aspect of the experience. The professors have a good understanding of the concepts they teach and will support you in case you are struggling with course material. I have always felt welcome and safe on both campuses and believe that it saves a lot of time and money compared to 4 year universities.... Read 668 reviews
