University of Colorado Colorado Springs Top Questions

My overall opinion about the University of Colorado Colorado Springs is that it is a perfect fit for me. The campus is a great size right now and the professors are not overloaded with students to the point where they cannot provide one-on-one help and/or advice. Growing up in Colorado my entire life, I feel right at home with the view of the mountains and the 300 days of sunshine a year.

I love this school!!! All of the professors are so nice and really get to know you. The school itself is about 10,000 students but my program is only 40 in total so it is the best of both worlds. If you can come to this school and you love being outdoors I would tell you to at least apply.

I love the school. I think there is a big university attitude with a small university accommodation. If I could change one thing about my university is for us (UCCS) to recruit better athletes for our sporting events. I think the school is just the right size for people that want to have the college experience but have the attitude that they will not get lost in the huge crowds of people. When I tell people I attend UCCS they are usually inquisitive on how the school is, wanting to learn more about it. When I am on campus, I tend to spend my time either in the University Hall (commons area) or the library. The school's administration is fairly easy to deal with. I have never had a problem with any of my professors, student financial aid counselors, campus police, or even the Dean of Students. Everyone is really helpful when it comes to this University. The biggest controversy on campus as of right now is parking. As the university grows, the more students attend. While the school officials have built new buildings for the students, they have not dealt with the parking issue yet. There is school pride, and it is growing rapidly. I am a part of the student committee that helps with the school traditions, and we have some big plans for the future! The most unusual thing about the school is not a bad thing. To me the most unusual aspect of the school is how much the professor’s care. They will go out of their way to help their students understand the material they are teaching, which is great. If I had to choose one experience I will never forget is participating in the half time game during Black Out Night. We were playing a basketball game and I won! I ended up winning $25 to our bookstore and 5 free Jimmy John's Sandwiches. My overall opinion of University of Colorado at Colorado Springs is a very positive one.I highly recommend my school for high school Sr. students to look at UCCS.
