Student Responses to Review Topic: Am I Enjoying Being Here

    Very beautiful campus, most staff are very nice. Although, a lot of students (including me) have had loads of trouble with the financial aid process. You can ask Is everything I need completed? a million times, and they will tell you yes, only to learn a week before classes start that you apparently owe $6,000 and a bunch or random late fees. UCCS staff will give you the run around, and you will probably end up doing most everything yourself, or finding yourself talking to the dean to get CORRECT answers. While they are nice, they don't seem to have all the knowledge required to help people with these matters.

    The housing team sets up an almost constant stream of activities, there are tons of interesting clubs to participate in, there is a great sense of community with people living on campus and the surrounding area is filled with opportunity and exciting experiences as well as natural beauty.

    This school amazes me more every day. I'm going on my third year here and have met some amazing people and professors. The dorms are nice, there no community bathrooms and living in the dorms helps to gain the large university experience. Obviously, I love this school, I wouldn't go anywhere else.
