University of Denver Reviews
Rating 3.68 out of 5 2,041 reviews
I am a sophomore at the University of Denver. The campus is beyond beautiful. There are many activities and off-campus events that happen daily, either sponsored by the school or just around town. Denver is a great city to live in and learn in. Overall, my experience has been good. Can things be better? yes! The food for one is not the best, but they have room for improvement. Professors and classes offered are always great and interesting. It is a great learning environment.
Oh man, I’m disheartened to see so many negative reviews! Granted, I graduated a few years before COVID so didn’t have to deal with online learning.
My four years at DU were the best years of my life. I agree with others that many students are white, rich, and privileged; I came from a very urban, very diverse neighborhood and though at times I really felt the divide between me and my richer friends, it didn’t stop me from having a good time. At least when I attended in 2012, as a social sciences student, everyone in my classes was super chill.
I had a great experience with the Criminology department. Loved all my classes and professors.
Campus is stunning. Though
the undergrad population is small, I never felt like campus itself was small.
As for nightlife, I got away with four years of college never having a fake ID. We went to the Stad senior year, but otherwise, house parties were the way to go. By junior year, downtown Denver was a quick light rail or Uber ride away.

I have really enjoyed my time here at DU. The classes are really interesting and you get a good variety of them too. The campus is really pretty in the fall and spring but in the winter when there is no snow it can be kind of dead. There are a lot of events that happen each week, you just have to be looking for them. The events are really fun though and with some of them you can have career opportunities and connections. I work on campus too and it is easy to manage that with classes. Overall, I really like the school! Get involved when you go and you will be fine!
