This school, in my personal opinion, is not meant for those wanted "higher" education. The classes are very easy, which might be fine for some folks, but I do not think it is worth the money by any means. Many of the alumni I've spoke to either spent most of their time partying or ended up working locally, unfortunately still trying to pay off their student debts. Another, somewhat, irking fact about this school is that it is based on Christianity, which create friction among other religious students. This is not an inherently bad thing, but it feels almost suffocating if you do not practice under a Christian faith. Also, the school has very little diversity. That would be tolerable if the city itself was inclusive - but it is not. Political division, and overall segregation, is something everybody experiences and sadly has to live with; however, for this town, it seems almost fatal to have a different view point from your neighbors. It does not help that all of the campus, including the gyms and other buildings, are freely open to the entire city. If you are not from the city of Grand Junction, the low cost of this school (which in reality isn't exactly 'cheap') is not worth it.
I really love it and it gave me the opportunity to continue on my path to being what I wanted. It’s cheap and the class sizes are the best. Not to mention the teachers are very helpful, and your classmates are always down for a study session. I know I have made the right choice by picking mesa
My opinion of Colorado Mesa University would have to be that it's different than most colleges. It's not too diverse which isn't the best but you can always manage to find your group here and there. As far as academics go, most professors do respond back pretty fast if you do have questions and they do want you to succeed in their classes. The campus life is pretty calm no one is ever being crazy and causing drama.
Great university offers lots of opportunities and is a great place to live, and study at. Has lots of involvement, can join clubs, sports, study groups, meet people everywhere. Hosts lots of on campus activities to get the students involved and stay on grounds.
The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Colorado Mesa University is 82%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.
Choosing a college is important, but it is far more important to choose the correct teachers at a college. If the only class that you are able to get a seat in has an undesirable teacher, then it is better to hold off on the class. Always, always ask around and look up a teacher's statistics online.
I don't like that we have to take unnecessary classes. For example, I am an athletic training major, but I have to take a fine arts class. I don't really understand the point in taking so many general education classes.
It is right on myrtle beach, somuch scholl spirit, just a great place to be
A very fun school, where you get out everything that you put into it.
conservitave, small town kids, or kids from out of state looking for a small college with access to the west and outdoor sports
Everyone I encounter is very friendly and will help you out with almost anything
The best thing about my school would have to be it's size. Although it is a rather small school it still has excellent teachers and programs. With the small town feeling it makes it feel more comfortable and not to mention you get a better learning experience with smaller classes.
It would have saved me alot of stress and worry if I had only known how relaxed and open-minded the students and faculty were at this school. However, that is also an exciting part about going somewhere different and new. There is really nothing bad that caught me off guard but only unexpected things and events which turned out to be good surprises!
Mesa State is best known for Curtis Martin, played for the San Diego Chargers 1987 to mid 1990's, he once went to school at Mesa State and played as a wide reciver.
Mesa State College (now Colorado Mesa University) offers a complete college experience with a smaller, more intimate campus. The campus is small, but there are as many opportunities as a large university.
The lack of Commuter Parking lots. There are just a few spots for a lot of cars.
If someone does not like the great outdoors, or smaller campus, and smaller classes, this is not the school for them. Mesa is not in a large or well known athletic conference, so there is not the ability to have national championship type team.
I cannot speak for the main campus of CMU, but at the culinary school it doesn't appear to be a whole lot of outside activities or groups. When the culinary school is involved with or invited to take part in a charity event or festival, students are usually quite eager to take part in those opportunities.
I love attending the CMU/WCCC culinary school! After an unfortunate divorce, I am starting my life over. I am proud to be a culinary student and looking forward to carrying on important, but often overlooked culinary traditions. The school offers a great teacher to student ratio and like all endeavors, it has it's negatives, one being that Grand Junction is a small city and does not yet garner the attention that some of the larger, older school communities might.
