Alum: Mines is a unique, challenging place to *earn* a STEM degree. Real world problem solving is strongly emphasized, with a clear focus on employment immediately after graduation. Academics are emphasized over extracurriculars. There was general consensus that the workload was intense, making it challenging to graduate within 4 years. The quality of instruction was mixed — some classes were excellent, others less so. Ultimately, fellow graduates tend to feel the struggle was worth it, although there is some concern that the ‘brand value’ of a Mines diploma is not as widely recognized as other equally rigorous schools. When I attended, the in-state tuition made Mines a very good value.... Read 964 reviews

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. There are various fields and areas of studies to choose from and passionate professors and advisors that will excel at guiding you towards the right direction of your education and fundamentally, career path. I got my undergrad degree and now pursuing my graduate degree from the same campus. I feel like I have emotionally, physically, critically and most importantly, professionally grown with the university and utilized the many resources that come with the experience. It is one of the best investments I've made and recommend anybody that is considering this university to go for it! You will not regret it.... Read 1,871 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 3,106 reviews

Senior: This a great university! Students and staff are friendly. Transportation for off-campus living is great! There is paid parking if you choose to commute and if not, then there is public transportation that has routes all over the city. Tuition can be expensive. Financial aid helps greatly but I wish it was a little less to broaden the students that can attend. Overall, there are great resources for anything you're looking for help on: tutoring, medical treatment, financial assistance, etc. Classes can be large so professors may not be as personal with each student but they are helpful if you visit during office hours....

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

Sophomore: I think that the school is great. The teachers and administration were all super helpful and made me successful. There is a good culture there of being inclusive and welcoming. The campus is very beautiful with all the amazing views looking over towards the mountains. It can be costly to live and go to college here but that is just what you pay for and it’s a great experience. Overall it’s a great college and I really recommend if you love great people, great views, and a great time!... Read 1,960 reviews

Sophomore: So my experience here at Colorado technical university has been a joy. It’s given me a renewed and new profound view on education. I barely could hold a 2.0 anything gpa in high school now holding a 3.92 gpa and I sincerely and greatly credit Colorado tech for that accomplishment! So if you’re looking to renew your education whether it be your a young scholar looking for the right school to further your education or even if your older and have been out of school for a good while this is the school. They offer plenty of peer support, tutoring services, and their financial advisor’s are top of the line in taking the stresses of figuring out how to even begin to start school off you directly as they are very professional and caring only focused on helping get that degree and start your journey towards your dream’s. I definitely recommend Colorado technical university as they’ve given me faith in education actually being attainable, easy, and well worth the hard work! Blessing... Read 1,638 reviews
