My experience at CU Denver has surpassed my expectations. I was terrified when I first started, but today I am completely in love with my classes, my teachers, my friends, and the overall campus! My favorite experiences so far have been the community events organized by the campus. The first week always consists of different activities and events everyday so that students can gather around the campus, get to know others, learn about clubs/activities, and get food and school themed clothes as well. My campus has a block party in Denver since it's right across the street where music and food is provided, along with tables and tents promoting all the clubs and organizations available on campus. These events continue throughout the year and make it fun and exciting to try new things.
Love how the campus is located in Downtown Denver, in the middle of everything! Professors are helpful and so are resources. Things that could be improved include adequately trained student employees who run centers like the Bursar's or Financial Aid.
I transferred to CU Denver from the University of Denver (DU) and am currently in my sophomore year.
The campus is pretty conveniently located in terms of public transport, which is good because the cost of living in Denver is extremely expensive. However, the traffic on campus for drivers can be pretty bad, so you have to make sure to leave extra time in your commute schedule. The dorms are decent, but expensive, and could be more ideally located. While the nearby train stations are convenient, the constant noise from the trains and the somewhat shady area the dorms are located in (under the highway and near a bunch of parking lots and warehouses) make them almost not worth the fifteen minute walk to campus. Almost.
Overall CU Denver is a pretty good school, especially for the price, with diverse students, faculty and classes. I've loved all my professors so far, and loved most of my classes (except for math) and would recommend the school for anyone who can afford it.
