It was difficult to have a typical college experience here. It might have been because it is mainly a "commuter" school for people who are usually from Colorado. Although not luxurious, it is a very convenient college to attend if you wish to have a foot in the normal world and the college world. People may associate college as the party years, or with living in dorms. But UCCS seems like a more distinguished college, as you share classes with young students who also work full time, veterans, and older students.
I also found that academics were not the greatest. When compared with old high school friends, I found that some friends were getting a better education than me at other schools. I had one professor who cancelled more than 50% of her classes! I'm sure others have had better experiences with UCCS than I have, but I am currently in the process of transferring.

The University of Colorado-Colorado Springs is a great school to attend. It is a very green school and sustainability is very important here. The classes aren't very large so the professors will get to know you personally. The rec center is phenomenal. There are always activities going on during the week and weekends on campus. There is also a club for everyone! Because of this, everybody has a place that they can feel comfortable and fit in. The people are also amazing. You make new friends all the time and it is a safe, fun environment.
The campus is beautiful! During the summer, when it's warm I love to study outside sitting under a tree. The professors are so kind and understanding to everyone's personal needs. I love the students and how everyone is so welcoming and loves to socialize with new people. I have never felt lost here, there is always someone there to help and make sure you have a wonderful experience here. The trails at the back of campus are amazing to hike just to take some personal time!
