    Tips for prospective students

    If you think you might enjoy attending one of the nation's premier urban research universities, check out CU Denver! I love the location, campus, academic selection, and diversity this school has to offer. I have been made to feel very welcome and appreciate a faculty that is passionate about what they do.
    Great for these types of students

    Local commuters (or even students from out of the area because of great new student housing!), students who enjoy being in the heart of a big city, those who enjoy people who are a variety of ages and from diverse cultural backgrounds.

    Am learning a lot

    I'll be attending my third semester at UCD this fall, and thus far I've concentrated on getting prerequisite and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences classes out of the way. This approach has gained me knowledge in a broad range of topics. I've been able to 'taste test' various subjects, gain knowledge, and learn about what I'm interested, though sometimes I don't like the inevitable and incessant powerpoint presentation.
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus isn't really my style. It's very crowded, since UCD is only one of three schools which use the campus. Roughly 13,000 people attend UCD and perhaps 30,000 people attend the campus as a whole. I'm not the type of person that enjoys an urban landscape, and UCD is right in the middle of the Denver, with office buildings, sports stadiums, malls, and businesses galore.
    Bang for the buck

    The main reason I decided to attend UCD was the 'bang for the buck' factor. The University of Colorado has some good programs, good history, and some notoriety as well. I commute to campus using public transit, which you get a deal on through UCD by showing your school ID to the driver. Tuition is not as high as other universities of comparable prestige, and alot of the professors have done something in their field. However, tuition tends to get hiked about 10% every year.
    Tips for prospective students

    I decided to take a First Year Seminar (FYS) course, which helped me. Due to the size of the Aurauria Campus, there are many resources available to students. Though the size has allowed many resources for students, some are difficult to access, or perhaps seem intimidating. The First Year Seminar course helped me to seek out exactly what it is the Campus and the University could offer me, and how to get the most out of it.
    Great for these types of students

    The city of Denver is where the majority of the employment opportunity in Colorado is. The University is located ideally for the working student. Students who enjoy an urban environment, and all the restaurants and sporting events in the vicinity will also enjoy attending UCD. Some might be intimidated by the size and the location of the University, others may be attracted to the prospect of undertaking their education with a veil of anonymity, while enjoying what the city of Denver has to offer.

    Am learning a lot

    I've only taken a few classes so far, mostly English and humanity classes, but I've enjoyed them very much. I had some problems my first semester, but I was able to work with my teachers and still able to push myself to finish off the year strong.
    Am enjoying being here

    Mostly for just the general Denver area, it's easy to get around. RTD's, including the light rail and busline, can get you all around downtown and then some. Being a student at this school or other schools on the Auraria campus will give you free access to it, think a little extra to go to DIA, but still. There are always events going on at campus and if you don't want to do those, there is always the 16th street mall.
    Bang for the buck

    Goes along with the last comment. Pretty much everything is included what you pay, so you pay for just whatever extra you do at places you go, but like I said, there are lots of things to do that don't cost money, especially if you don't mind window shopping.
    Tips for prospective students

    Definitely talk with counselors about your career path. I learned that medical schools don't like to see online classes on transcripts. I took three, so I know I'm not going to take anymore. You can get helpful tips and suggestions to help make school easier, more enjoyable, and more successful.
    Great for these types of students

    I think the school would be great for almost any student. The school though is blossoming in its health sciences, and it has its own medical campus associated with it, a reason why I came. It has a business, social justice, engineering, liberal arts and sciences, and media and technology schools, though I'm sure I'm missing some too. The school offers so much, the only thing it doesn't is culinary arts, which I would have taken for sure if they did!

    UCD classrooms offer a flexible curriculum which allows professors to intricate their desired teaching styles with the information needed to be taught to the students. Through this, professors can instruct in a way that they find best at getting the information of the text, into the students' minds. Through multiple classroom scenarios, one is given the opportunity to absorb various teaching styles and different ways to learn – an important aspect to grasp as early as one can for it is useful even outside of the classroom.
    Am enjoying being here


    UCD – a perfect haven for those pursuing a degree in which time posses as an obstacle. This school offers multiple available times in which to take a desired class. Most of the classes are small in size, providing for a better student to professor interaction.

    Bang for the buck


    Anyone who's been researching colleges and costs for attending, is aware of the skyrocketing prices colleges are asking for today. UCD pushes away the 60 thousand, 40 thousand, even 20 or 10 thousand dollar tuition costs and gives you the opportunity to attend a prestigious university without ripping a hole in your wallet.

    Tips for prospective students


    It's beneficial to know that upon registering for classes, one should be aware that even if a class reads “filled,” this doesn’t always necessarily mean you can’t get signed up for the class. By directly confronting the professor of the specific class about the proposed issue, you might be given a seat.


    Another fact of pinnacle importance: you’re not going to be hunted down to be told everything you need to know to support your wallet. You have to conduct research on your own time to make sure your doing things right. Keep an eye out for due dates, especially if you’re completing applications/forms for financial aid. This includes due dates for turning in your FAFSA and any other forms that go with it, as well as for applying to receive scholarships. Your go-to person will be your advisor. Email, or set up an appointment, which ever works.

    Great for these types of students


    UCD uses a program called blackboard – if you happen to take a class that utilizes it, spend time browsing through it. Many times, you’ll find links that will help you get an A for the class. Blackboard offers the luxury for teacher to be able to post videos, pictures, and comments for every student in the class to access. This program also takes full advantage of the ability to initiate group emails – depending on the class, you may or may not use this accessory. For students deemed tech-savvy, or even simply enjoy using online teacher-student connection programs, this is a school for you.

    Am learning a lot

    You'll be exposed to a lot of new ways of learning. It is a very cool school. You can learn with a lot of non-traditional learning strategies and it was a blast. There is the few bad teachers but the majority of teachers are really great. There are always many options for getting a hold of your teacher or advisor.
    Am enjoying being here

    I really enjoy the non-traditional campus. It offers a lot of diversity on the campus. I really enjoy meeting new people at school. It is a great place to meet different people. There isn't a lot of student body gatherings but it is still a great school.
    Bang for the buck

    The school is a little expensive compared to Metro that shares the same campus, but it is a great school.
    Tips for prospective students

    Work hard and keep shooting for your goals. Even if things get hard don't ever stop trying. As hard as it seems some times the teachers want to see you succeed just as much as you want to.
    Great for these types of students

    People who work full time, people looking for a different learning experience.

    Am learning a lot

    Many of the professors recognize and target subject matter that was (or is) under-taught in high school. As a result, I learned biology with new eyes and discovered a passion for it that I didn't know was possible because of a poor high school biology curriculum. In addition, the student resources on campus reinforce and encourage student growth in such a way that failing a course is simply out of the question.
    Am enjoying being here

    The diversity of students on campus is enjoyable; people from different ethnic backgrounds, age groups, and opinions all mix to form a melting pot of students. I also enjoy the fact that the campus is not a cliche college experience: most of the students commute from Denver or its surrounding cities, meaning that students on campus aren't necessarily absorbed in the best dorm party that weekend or the current roommate drama. However, despite these benefits, I find the prevalent smoking on campus to be a turn-off that only besmirches student pride, school reputation, and the campus itself.
    Bang for the buck

    Classes are extremely affordable at UCD, especially for in-state students. In addition, many of the resources offered to Community College of Denver or Metropolitan State College of Denver students are available to UCD students, which maximizes the benefits one can receive from student fees.
    Tips for prospective students

    UCD is not a typical college experience, so if you are looking for a movie-like university life, you might have to look elsewhere. In addition, UCD is stronger in the natural sciences and pre-health career paths, so if you are more interested in fine arts or social sciences, you might want to consider another college.
    Great for these types of students

    Students majoring in health careers or natural sciences will thrive here. In addition, students who are looking for a different college experience that is not as widely marketed in the media or entertainment scene will find their place at University of Colorado Denver.

    Am learning a lot

    For the price i'm paying they really shouldn't be giving the education i'm receiving. The professors here know what hey are talking about. I mean i've probably learned more in the past semester than i ever did in a year in high school. Not only is the curriculum awesome the professors themselves have really show that they actually care about their students. I fell behind a couple of weeks ago and one of my professors called me and asked if i was doing ok. If there was anything she could do to help me. This spoke to me a lot because the experience i've had with teachers wasn't good at all in high school. They only cared about the grades and just moved us along. The quality i've found at UCD is exceptional.
    Am enjoying being here

    Okay i'm going to school 3 blocks away from the 16th street mall. Of course i'm having fun. The fact that i can go to a movie on the mall or get frozen yourgurt anytime of the day is great! Not only is being downtown a great thing in itself the campus has a ton of stuff to do if your willing to get up and go. The wide variety of programs that they offer are fantastic. It would be hard to not find something you're interested in. The only thing about clubs and activities is fitting them around your schedule. It can be hard sometimes but it's not going to fall into your lap.
    Bang for the buck

    As i said, for the education i'm getting i should be paying a lot more. The possibilities that they offer are great in the aspect that they can make it work. If you are having a hard time paying for something the college is very willing to help you in anyway they can so you can succeed. It's their primary objective and it's helped so much this year.
    Tips for prospective students

    Stick with it. The only thing i regret this year is backing out of somethings i shouldn't have. The best way to become a solid college student is to get involved. The rate of drop out students increses when they don't get involved with the UCD community. And if you're going to drop out it's just a waste of money. And trust me if you're a broke college student the thought of losing money makes you want to cry. Just get out there and find something you'll love. The people are great and you're going to find friends that have the same interests as you which will make the adjustment to college a lot easier and a little less scary.
    Great for these types of students

    Broke, looking for a good time, want to have more respect for yourself and others around you, want to become a more well rounded person, have a more open minded outlook, like to eat, like to learn, like to stroll (the campus isn't that big) plenty of time to get to class, again broke, like to make friends, like to feel like an adult by teachers, like to get out into the world!

    The cultural diversity and the help that is available to students is magnificent!
    Tips for prospective students

    The cultural diversity that CU Denver has creates a family atmosphere among both the students and the faculty. CU Denver has quiet lounges for those students who need to get their work done as well as great recreational facilities (like a gym and a swimming pool) for the students who need a break from work or who just want to relax after they've finished their work. CU Denver is not only located at the hearth of Denver, but all the scholarships and tutoring that they offer are amazing for students who need help paying for college and for those students who want to excel in their classes.
    Great for these types of students

    The students who enjoy meeting people from different cultures, students who like to be involved in their campus, and for students who plan on obtaining a great education!

    ucd is a nice public school located on auraria campus along with metro state college and the community college of denver (ccd), in the amazing downtown region of the city. the campus is within walking distance of the pepsi center and once you get used to it, it's pretty easy to get around. commuters can take the rtd buses and light rails that travel to and from the campus and there are plenty of places to go eat, hang out with friends, and shop.
    Tips for prospective students

    1) take advantage of ucd's many useful resources, including: the career center, the writing center, the learning resources center, the advising offices, and more. these places offer things like tutoring, help with deciding a major, help with improving your writing skills, and help with picking classes.
    2) if you are a first-generation student or come from a low-income family, think about joining the trio program. the trio program has peer mentors who can help you and give you advise, it has staff members who can answer your questions or point you in the direction of someone who can better help you, and it has a small computer lab where you can quietly work on homework or print papers (for free). it’s also a good place if you just want to sit and talk.
    3) there are many activities and participation opportunities that go on at ucd almost every day. if you have some free time try to go to them. there are concerts, volunteer fairs, career fairs, bible studies, and other fun and academic things to do! if you want, go to the “freshman 411” where you can meet other freshman, learn about the different resources available for you to use, and eat free food!
    4) i advise you to take a first year seminar course during your first semester because it helps make the transition from high school to college easier. there are at least 18 of them to choose from. the class sizes are small, all your classmates are freshman like you, and you go to workshops and events that will help you throughout college. don’t worry. as a college freshman, by the end of your first semester you should be able to better understand how college works.
    check out the website: www.ucdenver.edu.

    Academic Rigor

    ucd offers a bunch of different classes and has many different areas that you can major in. most of the professors that i've had and met are nice and have reasonable expectations. some of the classes are harder than others, but as long as you try hard you should be able to pass them. if you do find yourself becoming confused or falling behind, you can talk to the professors during their office hours and most of them also make themselves available before and after class or by email. you can get help through the tutoring center too. in fact, ucd offers supplemental instruction (si) sessions for classes that are considered “historically difficult”, meaning many students have struggled in those classes in the past. there are also one-on-one tutoring by appointment and open, walk-in sessions. sometimes the work load can get a bit overwhelming, but with a certain set of classes being mondays and wednesdays and another set being tuesdays and thursdays, you have more than one night to complete it. you just need to manage your time wisely (there is a workshop that can give you some tips on how to do this also).
    Dorm Life

    the dorms at ucd are known as campus village at auraria or cva. all students under the age of 21 are required to live in the dorms, except if they fill out an exemption form saying that they will be living with their parents or legal guardians, they’re married or a parent, or they fit any of the other exemptions listed on the form. campus village is a partly blue and goldish building about three or four blocks from the campus itself, which to some doesn’t make sense. it’s a bit of a walk to go from the buildings where classes are to campus village so it’s not very convenient in that way. but, the building is not very far from sports authority field at mile high stadium (formerly invesco field) and elitch’s. each “suite-style” dorm room consists of two bathrooms, two bedrooms, and a sort of living room/kitchenette combination connecting the bedrooms together. each suite has four students; two in each bedroom, so yes, you do have to have a roommate. before moving into the dorms, you fill out a questionnaire that will be used to match you up with someone who has similar responses to be your roommate. cva includes a fitness center, a cafeteria, a study room, a laundry room, a computer lab and printing area, and several other “amenities”. according to a flyer mailed to students, ucd’s first year rates for 2011-2012 are between $4,945 and $5,045 per semester for the room and dining plans, so if you’d like to save some money and you don’t mind living at home, you can. just remember to fill out the exemption form. to learn more about cva (floor plans, dining, rates, etc) you can visit http://www.campusvillageliving.com.
    Food and Dining

    there are a vast number of places to eat! in the food court area of the tivoli, there is a mcdonald’s express, a taco bell, a subway, a wok and roll (japanese food), and an alfresco greens (a sandwich and salad restaurant). on the second floor, you can find pete’s arena a.k.a. “the pizza place”, cinnabon, and quick zone, which is basically a mini convenience store. on campus in the other direction, there is an einstein’s bagels where those who live in the dorms can use the cards that they receive as part of their meal plan (the cards can also be used at quick zone and pete’s arena). students can eat in the cafeterias located in the north classroom building or cva if they’d like to also. not only are there places to eat on campus, being downtown means there are a ton of places to eat off-campus too! there are a lot of different restaurants around and on 16th street mall such as chipotle, qdoba mexican grill, starbucks, arby’s, smashburger, quiznos, and chili’s. you can take the light rail, the rtd, the mall ride, or you can just walk to any of these restaurants! sometimes, you might even be able to buy food from the different food trucks that come around during certain events or you can participate in activities to get free food (mostly pizza). plus, you can always buy something from the vending machines!
    What to do for fun

    you can go to the many different activities that take place on campus just about every day. if you would like, you can play pool or arcade games at sigi's in the tivoli, you can see a movie on campus in the starz building or you can go downtown to the united artist theater, or you can go shopping along the 16th street mall. since, ucd is within walking distance of the pepsi center, sports authority field at mile high stadium, and elitch's, ucd will sometimes schedule events for students to see the denver broncos, the denver nuggets, the colorado avalanche, or enjoy some time at the amusement park! on campus, there is a building called the tivoli student union. inside, there are resources for all three schools including ucd’s career center, the office of student life, the auraria bookstore, and a few computer labs. there are also places to study quietly, talk and hang out with friends, and places go to sleep. in addition to these, there are rooms where events are held including the cu freshman 411, as mentioned before. or if you are looking for a nice quiet place to study and get work done, try going to the library!
    Bang for the buck

    cu denver is cheaper than du, but still quite expensive. in fact, it is the most expensive school out of the three on the auraria campus. but, financial aid is offered so it's possible to afford it.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    there are spirit day thursdays where you can get free pizza for wearing cu gear in the lobby of the north classroom building.
    Clubs and Activities

    there are lots of clubs and activities that students can take part in from health and nutrition clubs, to bible studies, student organization clubs to clubs supporting the protection and humane treatment of animals. the last that i heard there were about 72 clubs and counting offered by ucd. students are also allowed to start their own clubs with the approval of the school. as far as activities, there are plenty of volunteer opportunities, blood drives, workshops, open mic nights, and as mentioned previously, places to get free food. basically, every week the office of student life emails the students information on upcoming activities taking place. here is part of one of the emails that was sent the fifth of last month (minus the color and formatting):

    auraria shares
    seventeen years ago, the auraria campus started a holiday tradition by launching the share tree project. we hope that we are able to reach our goal of 200 gifts for this holiday season. here is how the share tree works:
    take an ornament off the tree. on it you will find the gender of a child and the age. bring an unwrapped gift, with the original tag attached to it, to the office of student life in by 4:00 p.m. on friday, december 16th.
    please join the auraria community in celebrating the holidays through generosity and sharing. sponsored by ccd student life, mscd student activities, and ucd student life.
    habitat for humanity volunteer opportunity
    want to spend the day building homes and having fun with other ucd students? well then sign up to help out with habitat for humanity.
    all participants will receive a boxed lunch day of build, and a certificate and t-shirt after a full day of work
    the build day is from 9:00am-4:30pm and students must arrive on time and stay the entire day.

    Campus Safety

    an auraria campus police car can be seen driving around or parked outside somewhere around campus just about every day. the auraria police “station” is located inside the tivoli. there are several “blue light poles” spread across the campus, where you can press a button and connect to the police and for the students who don’t feel comfortable walking to and from cva in the dark of the night, a “night rider” service is available. also, at times, the chief of the ucd police department will send emails about important safety information to all the students.

    The campus is one of the most efficient in terms of class schedules and use of classroom space. The atmosphere is fast paced and exciting lying in the heart of downtown Denver. I enjoy being on campus everyday with the opportunity to explore the city.
    Tips for prospective students

    Going to UCD was the best decision I ever made. As a state resident, I have the option to live at home, on campus or in a dorm so if dorm living isn't an atmosphere a prospective student is looking for, the other options are available. The University is very supportive of students, with review sessions and recitations for classes. Many professors are easy to contact and are very approachable.
    Academic Rigor

    This depends on what field of study you're considering. As a pre-med student, the demands are high but unlike other university's the class schedules, exams and lectures don't take up as much time. I went to CSU my freshman year and I found that taking chemistry there was much more time consuming and harder to grasp but then after I transferred, the chemistry department was more available to help a student and didn't schedule exams outside of lecture at 7pm on a Thursday (which I found to be very inconvenient at CSU)
    Dorm Life

    Depends on what living situation you prefer, but with the choice to live on campus, move downtown or stay at home, the university is very accommodating to a student's preferences.
    Food and Dining

    16th st mall is 2 blocks away, restaurants are everywhere within blocks of the university as well as the typical fast food places that are on campus.
    What to do for fun

    across the street from the Pepsi Center, Elitch Gardens, blocks away from bars, dining, shopping etc.

    Am learning a lot

    The science departments employ some of the best faculty I have had the opportunity to work with. And by work with, I mean actually work with--they treat you as a colleague, not a subordinate. Many professors understand how much money you are spending just to sit in their classroom so they make the extra effort to ensure you get more than just the basics of any one subject.
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is very diverse with a wide representation of many cultures, ethnicities, and religions. The location in downtown Denver is superb, close to many non-chain restaurant options for grabbing food and within close proximity to many places of employment for part-time work students.
    Bang for the buck

    While I think education is invaluable and priceless, the tuition does increase every year as a result of lack of state funding to this public institution. I also pay out-of-state so any small tuition increase is definitely not appreciated. That being said, you do get a thorough education despite the cost.
    Tips for prospective students

    Take advantage of the numerous clubs on campus and the school also has an honors program called the University Honors and Leadership Program (UHL) which offers many volunteer opportunities in addition to honors classes and an honors scholarship. Park in the Campus Village lot--$2.50/day and is the cheapest lot on the whole campus.
    Great for these types of students

    Pre-Health (Med, Dental, PT, PA, nursing, DO)--this school really caters to the future doctor crowd.
