    Am learning a lot

    By attending CCD, you are exposed to many classes that fit your needs. This school is a great starter school for those who need the one on one help.
    Am enjoying being here

    You are exposed to many events, from movie promotions, to famous speakers. You are also exposed to a large variety of people.
    Bang for the buck

    CCD is very affordable for what is offered. You are paying a fraction of the price as the other two schools on the campus, yet you will have most of the exact same faculties available.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do all your work by the given deadline.
    Show up early for a good seat.
    Don't sit in the back of the class.
    Get to know your teachers early on.
    Great for these types of students

    Those who need one on one help.
    Those who are not sure whether college is right for them.

    Am learning a lot

    I have learned allot I'm only in my second semester at ccd! I have loved it so far. I am doing online classes and I thought I would not do so well with me teaching myself I feel I have done better in school than when I had a teacher in front of me.
    Am enjoying being here

    I do enjoy going to the school when I have to to just see all the people. When I see the other people that are my age are going to the school too. People have had rough spots in their lives and they are trying to fix it by going back to school
    Bang for the buck

    CCD is alot cheaper than all the the online or for profit schools
    Tips for prospective students

    I would say if your going back to school and haven't gone to school like I have for many years go to ccd! They help you get the ball rolling! The staff is very helpful and explain the things you need to to before and after you start school
    Great for these types of students

    This school is great for people going back to school who haven't been to school in a while. ccd is for people who aren't fresh out of high school, its more for people who dropped out got their GED and is turning to go further in life

    Am learning a lot

    I just finished my first semester back to college, and I am really impressed with the amazing teachers at this school. I had a brilliant and fun Algebra teacher who was such a joy, even though our class was 3 1/2 hrs long! She is very knowledgeable and I knew if I had any question to ask her, she would know the answer.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love being back to school and being around so many motivated people. The campus is amazing and in a perfect location right downtown. The skyline is an amazing backdrop for the walk to class.
    Bang for the buck

    I think school is so expensive these days so I'm not going to give a great review here. I am happy to give my money to this school but it's way too expensive.
    Tips for prospective students

    The classrooms are spread apart so keep that in mind when you register for classes. I have had to walk from one end of campus and back in a day of classes and it would be nice to have them closer. My fault.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for the outdoor lovers who like to walk outside in any weather.

    Am learning a lot

    The learning process is what you make of it; I have no concerns here.
    Am enjoying being here

    BEWARE!!! This school is absolutely ridiculous. I have been having the WORST time trying to get this group of idiot office workers to understand my situation and nothing is working. They recently passed a rule in the AA business program that they will no longer accept transfer credits from certain schools. I was supposed to be only 2 courses away from graduating and this is the second time they have come back saying I need to repeat courses I have already completed elsewhere. AVOID THIS TERRIBLE SCHOOL - ANYWHERE ELSE IS BETTER!
    Bang for the buck

    Sure, it is less expensive than many other options. Unfortunately, when you factor in all of the repeat courses they make you take and all of the time spent arguing your way through a degree, it is just as expensive as a 4 year college - and half as impressive!
    Tips for prospective students

    Check out any other schools in the area that are not operating under bankruptcy. Other schools might actually let you complete your degree to go out and make something of your self - what a concept. This school is also run by a bunch of really rude people.
    Great for these types of students

    Only attend this school if you like going to school for 4 years for a 2 year degree, or if you don't mind spending tons of extra money to complete a degree. It also helps if you enjoy having idiots running your school. Good luck!

    Tips for prospective students

    i always say: you don't know until you try it and it's been a great place to start without any regret. do not give up and continue your education it is the only thing you can call yours!!
    Academic Rigor

    as we are all adult we know that the progress in this academic life is just based on our selves and nobody is to blame when we fall, just to stand up back again.
    Dorm Life

    i do not have had that experience, so i couldn't say.
    Food and Dining

    as many other places there is different options when is time to get some food around the campus. the bank food is a good option when you have forgotten to bring your lunch!
    What to do for fun

    there is a lot of places around the campus with so many activities that will keep you busy trough the week, from a gym to the library. a big nice pool and even a music hall for concerts.
    Bang for the buck

    to study can be pricey but it all will be worthy at the end when you reach your goal and a career.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    it is my first year so i haven't experienced all the campus has to offer.
    Great for these types of students

    it is a very diverse place with so many cultures and people, sure we all learn about everybody everyday.
    Clubs and Activities

    in the plaza tivoli are all the clubs. the radio station and much more.
    something everyday, all the time.

    pretty much everything is celebrated on campus.

    The campus is really nice is huge, and beautiful in the summer time, the people here are really friendly. I love going to school here.

    This community college is a great school for those who are looking for a way to raise their GPA. Good place to transfer from. Faculty especially from the First Generation office in the South building are willing to help.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you know where you are going because this area holds three campuses. Do not be late for class. Enjoy the events that they put on.
    Academic Rigor

    Passable classes. Depending on the teacher you have
    Courses can be easy.
    Food and Dining

    They have good areas to eat. For example the Tivoli. The Tivoli has a lot of place to eat. Ranging from McDonald's to subway to Asian cuisine. However, it is not the best thing in the world. For instance the McDonald's fries in the Tivoli taste weird. There are food trucks if your looking for something different to eat but the prices are somewhat expensive.
    What to do for fun

    Sometime there are promotions of clubs and organizations that give out free food and stuff.
    Bang for the buck

    Really cheap for residents and great opportunities for them. Also, attending events that allow you to see famous speakers and authors for free. However, can be expensive for out-state students.
    Campus Safety

    There helpful but since it is a huge campus be careful where you walk. They could only do so much. One way they keep everyone safe is sending out alerts through email.

    The Community College of Denver is a great school for those looking for a cheaper way to get the first two years of college out of the way. It is conveniently located and is easily accessible by public transportation. Since it is a commuter school, it doesn't have that college feel so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who is looking for the typical college experience.
    Tips for prospective students

    The Community College of Denver offers a work study program, I would recommend checking that out before taking out loans.
    Dorm Life

    There are dorms at CCD but I have never known anyone to live in them.
    Food and Dining

    There are many restaurants near the school. If you are looking for a quick bite there is also a food court in the Tivoli.
    What to do for fun

    CCD is conveniently located near the 16th street mall where there is food, shopping, movie theater and a bowling alley.
    Bang for the buck

    CCD is definitely a cheap alternative to Universities and State Colleges.

    The teachers are very passionate and helpful. Students show great apathy towards student activities, student government, and just any type of student life. Academics are not lacking and assistance is readily available, such as tutors for academics and career development.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be self motivated and show enthusiasm. The more you put into it, the more you get out of it. Be active and seek out knowledge about your school, check with your student life office, go to orientation, talk to people and enjoy your schooling.
    Academic Rigor

    I started in remedial math, and they started exactly where I needed to start, it was a perfect pace. I took higher 200 levels in science classes and I felt that was an amazing challenge for me. Again I felt it was a great pace.
    Food and Dining

    Currently, the organization in charge of what restaurants are in the student union are trying to improve their selection. They are trying to cater more to the student's wants and needs. Presently, it is not great but I believe it will be improved in the near future.

    We have many clubs and organizations. We have a sustainable campus organization that is striving hard to improve conditions of our campus and reduce our impact on the environment. We have a very active theatre club and the Confucius Institute puts on beautiful cultural shows.

Lastly, they have emergency call stations set all over campus and parking lots.

    The Community College of Denver is cheaper then other schools, recommend going their before other schools to get your basics done. Its not far from transportation, so its easy to find a way their and back. And downtown, so after school or in between classes you can always find some thing to do.
    Tips for prospective students

    For future stuents I would tell them to get their paperwork turn in ASAP because i have had trouble with CCD's financial aid office the three years I been their. They could be more organize. If you plan to park at school, you are better of buying a parking permit because parking is ridiculous down town.
    Academic Rigor

    Other then the trouble I have had with the financial aid, i like my school. Has different ethnicity's and easy to get around. Most of the buildings are close together. Classes have the same amount of students it can fit, no more then that. It always has activities that go on for students to look forward too.
    Food and Dining

    There is always something to eat. On campus they have fast food, cafeterias, and stores. If you cant find something their, then there is always down town that's a stop away from campus.
    What to do for fun

    On campus their is always some kind of activity going on that you can go see. Down town is close by, for more entertainment. They also provide a gym to keep healthy, that's fun for me. Or you can hang out with friends in the grass in the campus grass.
    Bang for the buck

    They have a gym so you don't have to pay for a membership. Only thing i dislike is that its always packed. hate that.

    Campus Safety

    Campus safety is a call away. They have emergency stops on campus. Their big red tubs that are there in case of an emergency. So you an use that for help. They also send out emails that let you know if something has happened so the students can be aware.

    Community college of Denver is a huge help when it comes to helping current/future students achieve their goals. They offer numerous tutors of almost every subject, the professors are really good about making sure everyone understands the material of the class, and there are several support systems on campus. CCD has helped me infinitely in making a concrete decision on my career goals.

    Make sure you communicate with your professors if you are unsure about the material. Make healthy relationships with your professors, advisers and classmates as well. Definitely attend every class on time. Make sure you manage your time well with studying. Make sure that you do not put on a load in which you cannot handle. Not everyone has to take several classes.

    a good school for people looking to get back on track with their education. the teachers are typically very down to earth and understand that you may be here because it is the only option due to work or family schedule. the staff could be a little more helpful at the financial aid office but the advisers will help you every step of the way.

    ccd does offer students the opportunity to succeed but only if they want to. it shares a campus with both ucd and msu which allows students to easily take advantage of other curriculums available. ccd is a positive way for a person, man or woman, of any background or age to succeed, but only if he or she wants to.
