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.

Truly enriching place to learn and grow professionally.
Tips: As a business student, the experience and exposure I have gotten here has been both helpful and one of a kind. The student body is very diverse and I have fostered connections that would last a lifetime. There are a number of fellow Indians as well and the food options have been great too. This is a good place to further your education if you are an innovative and curious individual.

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.

BA in English - Batch of 2024

Lots of learning and growth with diverse faculty and supportive peers.
Tips: The culture of Colorado is extremely immersive even though it takes a while to settle in so I would recommend one to arrive on campus before the orientation so they can truly understand what is needed and what to expect. As an undergrad, your SAT scores can determine whether you get in or not but once you've arrived, you are expected to contribute to society in non-academic ways as well which makes this truly a one-of-a-kind experience. The faculty are helpful and understanding so feel free to reach out to them in case of any queries or doubts. Also, try to contribute in classes and be creative. Overall, I am highly satisfied with the course and the university.

Thrilling place to learn and grow.
Tips: You must come with an open mind and align your goals according. Keep regular contact with your peer mentors, faculty in charge and guidance counsellor as they help in make your way to post-graduate studies after university. For the first year, you can sign up for a meal plan as that saves time and convenience. The classes are fun, engaging and highly interactive and there are lots of on-campus events and activities so do participate in them. Overall, I am highly satisfied with my experiences.
