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.

It has been a great learning process. The campus is diverse and vibrant.
Tips: I have grown a lot as an individual and become much more self-reliant than I could have ever imagined after coming here. The people have been kind and the campus has some scenic views to enjoy as well. The weather is quite perfect if you are an outdoorsy individual, and there are regular celebrations for Indian students organised by the international student community such as for Diwali, Holi, etc. Faculty are highly qualified and understanding. The classes are fun, interactive, and engaging. Overall, I have had a great experience studying here so far.

University of Colorado Denver provides good opportunity to grow.
Tips: The initial few weeks of college will be spent in getting to know the place, people, and adjusting to the time difference. If you are staying on campus, then make it a point to introduce yourself to the president counselor who will help you out with most of your accommodation and logistical situations. The faculty are welcoming and will guide you through the semester. Staff and people here are friendly, fun and love to socialise. Overall, I would say it’s been a great experience here.
