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 3,100 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: 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

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 3,057 reviews

Freshman: I like that they have: A smaller Campus, Smaller Classes, Counselling staff is very helpful and check on you often, Mountains/ Nature/ with many outdoor activities, beautiful campus, the Administration/ people/ student body are all very friendly and the campus amenities were very appealing to me. Western Colorado University is very close to Aspen and Crested Butte Ski resorts. I plan on getting a ski pass this winter to relax and enjoy the skiing with other students and peers during our downtime. Academically, Western Colorado University has much support whether its: other students, tutors, counselors or Professors on their open to student hours and times.... Read 403 reviews

Sophomore: My time at Fort Lewis College was a profoundly positive experience, driven by its embrace of diversity and strong sense of community. The campus buzzed with a rich mix of cultures and perspectives, enriching both academic and social life. Interacting with students from varied backgrounds broadened my horizons and encouraged critical thinking. The college's small size facilitated meaningful connections. Professors knew students personally, fostering mentorship and collaborative projects beyond classrooms. Numerous student organizations and events catered to diverse interests, nurturing personal growth and strong bonds among peers. Celebrations of cultural diversity showcased the inclusive ethos, providing a platform for sharing traditions.... Read 1,178 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 2,282 reviews

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.

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

Sophomore: Naropa is the most life-changing and unique university I have ever experienced. My time here is shaping me into a better human in all aspects of my life. I see the world differently, I connect with both close relationships and strangers alike more meaningfully and lovingly. At Naropa, every assignment and paper allows me to pursue what lights me up inside and find the way in which I can uniquely impact the world. The educators here are not only amazing and knowledgeable teachers, but incredible healers as well. They push you to think differently and encourage you to step into your authenticity. I love this university with my whole being.... Read 122 reviews
