Sophomore: University of Denver offers a rigorous academic, athletic and extra-curricular experience. At first, I had some qualms with my experience, given most of my classes were mandatorily taken online, however, when the institution allowed for resumed regular procedures and operations, my performance as an overall student enhanced as did the experience of all learners wholesale. Integration of the fundamental collegiate activities upon resuming to a fixed "open clearance" level unfolded in the favor of most of the students, and it left a lasting impression. University of Denver has a social or extra-curricular outlet suited to all enrollment, and anyone who tells you otherwise, either isn't a student or is referring to the exception of students 'at' Universities across the board from the years 2020-2021 and part of 2022. It tests the limits of your academic ability, stimulates your career objectives and the faculty sets a competitive expectation on the same axis of most UC and Ivy schools.... Read 2,067 reviews

Other: Overall, it's a great, secure, and fantastic place to have fun and relax with friends. There is plenty of security in the neighborhood performing sweeps, especially at night, and everyone is friendly. CU Boulder is diverse, in my opinion! There are several communities on campus, as well as numerous clubs and organizations to join. I appreciated how engaged the campus was with its students. It provided several activities and groups for all students, as well as resources and opportunities. I really enjoyed how environmentally friendly the campus was and how much it advertised. This, I believe, is critical so that future generations can have the same experiences. Overall, my favorite aspect of Boulder is its transportation system as well as its aim of making all students feel welcome.... Read 3,103 reviews

Freshman: I took a huge risk traveling from Las Vegas to be admitted into MSU, and I am so glad I attend this university! I’ve enjoyed it so far, and have met some lovely people. I enjoy the resources the university offers and take full advantage of it as well, such as tutoring, the health center, and the gym! A change that would be greatly appreciated by myself and many of my peers is regards to the FAFSA. I have tried to take advantage of the resources but in the grand scope of things, I still have a difficult time being able to pay my tuition since I am an out of state student. I deeply feel if there were more opportunities for students like me to have a guideline or plan to be able to pay tuition confidently. Regardless, I really love this place and look forward to the rest of my years here.... Read 3,058 reviews

Freshman: I hope this message finds you well. As a single mother enrolled at Colorado Christian University, I wanted to share my positive experience thus far. The Brightspace platform has been a game-changer for me in terms of online learning. Its seamless connection to our classes has made the learning experience both amazing and straightforward. The ease of navigation and quick responses from both teachers and administrators have truly facilitated my academic journey. While I appreciate the support I've received, I would like to suggest an enhancement to our website. It would be beneficial to have a direct link providing students with information on additional scholarship and grant opportunities. This resource could be a valuable addition, helping students like me explore trusted financial aid options more efficiently. Thank you for your attention to my feedback. I am grateful for the positive start I've had at Colorado Christian University and look forward to continued success.... Read 1,356 reviews

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....

Freshman: My first year at Colorado State University's online school was exceptional. The well-structured online platform made navigation effortless, and the passionate professors were both knowledgeable and accessible. What truly stood out was the sense of community; I felt connected to fellow students through engaging discussions and collaborative projects. CSU's dedication to fostering this online community was a game-changer. The abundance of resources, from a comprehensive digital library to supportive academic advisors, made my academic journey enriching. In just one year, CSU's online school has exceeded my expectations, and I eagerly look forward to the rest of my educational adventure at this institution.... Read 300 reviews
