4.1

The college is mid and the courses need to be updated.

Tips: There was a cultural shift after coming to this university. Scholarships are for residents only. So nothing really matters for international students. In terms of the course structure and professors they are friendly and communicate well enough.

Likes (Public transportation): The campus has access to modes of transportation that are public like buses trains and shuttle. Public transportation is affordable and accessible. For students it is at a discounted price. It is cost and convenient effective.

Dislikes (Value for money): Not worth it. We could've gone to another university with much better facilities, experience and education. So whoever is selecting the University of Colorado Denver. Do not assume that you got into a tier 1 university. So if you have a tier 1, then go for it.

Career focused learning in a diverse urban environment at the University of Colorado Denver.

Tips: Before joining UCD, students should know it is an urban career focused university that expects independence, proactive learning, and strong time management. I am satisfied with CU Denver my course and studying in the US as it offers practical education.

Likes (Public transportation): The UCD campus is extremely well connected to the rest of Denver. Students have easy access to RTD light rail, buses making it convenient to travel to downtown, residential areas and nearby cities and areas.

Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Faculty accessibility and teaching quality vary by professor. Most are approachable and use a practical, project based method but the consistency and depth can differ. The faculty is moderately diverse in nationality.

Strong internship support with room for improvement.

Tips: The campus is very good, and it has a strong academic environment. The university is research-focused. The support for internships is good, but there is definitely room for improvement in that area. This is a good school, and in this area, I think it's the best. The career fairs and job fairs provide a good way to find internships, and the school provides a lot of support. It's cool that Career Connect can help students find good internships and help students with their resumes.

The University of Colorado Denver has good research-oriented programs.

Tips: The University of Colorado Denver has good research-oriented programs, and is also a good place for someone who is passionate about research and has personal projects of their own. I have enjoyed my courses quite a lot as I am very dedicated in learning about environmental sustainability, and this campus has provided me with the perfect place to explore my potential. The vibe is quite relaxed and it is a peaceful place to live in. Public transportation is highly accessible and affordable, and with the help of a bus card, you can save a lot of money. I had so far enjoyed my time here.
