Great school that care for students progress and Success. I came in as a transfer student after not doing the greatest at my previous college due to life experiences. MSU Denver is ideal for those students who are not fresh out of high school. Their urban atmosphere and convenience in choosing classes to suit your life is top notch. Would recommend
The Metropolitan State University of Denver is a great school for people that want to stay and experience the city life rather than the small town life. It is a super diverse school with people from various different backgrounds and ethnicities. You not only learn a lot from your classes and professors, but also from the student body. The Metropolitan University of Denever shares campus with two other colleges which means that you get the opportunity to interact with many different students throughout your day. The diversity is what makes attending this college a great opportunity. Attending this school is like getting a small representation of what it is like to live on planet Earth. You got people from all around the world in one campus. You have the opportunity to network with people that have the same or different interests that you have. People that you learn a lot from and that could also potentially help you find your dream job one day. The Metropolitan State University of Denver also has great resources for whatever it is you are looking for. Whether you are looking for scholarships, internships, or help. This school helps you with that. They have different offices with the purpose of benefiting you in your education journey and your future. Finally, professors and staff are very caring and dedicated. They will make you feel heard and make sure you understand class material. All my experiences with my professors have been nothing but professional and helpful. Overall you can see that this school really cares for you and your success.
My overall opinion of Metropolitan State university of Denver is that it is a wonderful school, however its not perfect and it is not my dream school, their are a lot of difficulties to be dealt with on a daily basis. The school is mainly a commuter school, so many of the student have to travel by train or bus and parking their is a nightmare. Every time a student has to park, they will usually end up paying around 5 dollars every time and will have to walk a couple blocks to campus. It doesn't sound so bad, but being in downtown Denver, it can prove to be a challenge to walk across a simple intersection. However student life isn't so bad. If you are lucky enough to get one of the student apartments near the school, I hear its a great place to live and that its not too far of a walk. There are many students that live there and everyone who resides in the apartments are usually very friendly and inviting. The food situation on campus is a different story though, the options they have on campus are not so healthy and it can be difficult to find a good and nutritious meal without having to spend more then ten dollars, which is a lot of money to the average college student.
This campus is amazing! Every day offers something new to the campus and the beauty and atmosphere of it all is just overwhelming. It's more than classes and academics and it makes the college experience that much more memorable.

My college experience so far has taught me how driven and focused I am to becoming a psychologist. The professors I've encountered since attending Metro State have been extremely helpful and encouraging in helping me realize how passinate i am about psychology. Attending college has also shown me the impact it has on my everyday life. when I'm at school I feel motivated and eager to keep going because while in school I know I'm getting closer and closer to becoming a psychologist.
The fact that it is a commuter college it is hard to meet people who could become close friends
My classroom environment consists of a very diverse population of classmates who, for the most part, are engaged and focused on their future goals.
The unique aspect of Metropolitan State College of Denver is that it is a commuting school. There are no dorms on campus and the student’s travel from all over the state to attend the college. The student population is extremely varied which was my favorite part and the ages of the students ranged from 18 to 50's. The variations of age were wonderful because we learned from all different perspectives, which widened our knowledge base. It was not your "typical" college experience, but this college provided me an amazing education with an extraordinary experience.
The admissions process, hands down! The advisors do not work with the finacial aid officers who don't work with the transcript counselors when working on the admissions process for a new student. Sudents are always confused as to why noone told them, for example, their general studies credits did not transfer ad that's why they do not qualify as a sophmore.
The cost of getting a quality education is less at Metro. The lower cost of tuition makes it possible for all to attend.
My school is best known for its accessible location and a quality education at an affordable price.
One of the most diverse campuses in the country.
People who are dedicated to learning and becoming useful members of society and want more to life than what others have given them should become students at Metropolitan State College of Denver.
Least expensive, career oriented school in colorado with helpful small classes
The thing I brag about the most when telling my friends about my school is graduation rate. How people actually finish.
I don't believe there is any reason why someone should not attend Metropolitan State College of Denver since it is a good school. The only types of learners that I can think of who may not want to physically be on campus are those who prefer online classes. I am not sure if online classes have increased since I attended. The only other constraint that I can think of would be one's inability to financially afford the tuition or the books and have no access to financial aid for any reason.
Great.
great
If you are into basketball Metro has a really great basketball team that does very well. We are currently building a football field so when that is finished the school spirit of Metro is going to increase greatly. I am in the hospitality program and there is a great event club called MPI I would definitely recommend.
Far from it! It maybe open enrollment but MSCD is more strict than most other colleges when it comes to academics. A D is not passing in any class (so you have to take it again) and most teachers fail you if you miss 3 or more classes. Also if your GPA falls below (I think its 2.5) you go on academic probation. You don’t get it above 2.5 in one semester you are gone from the school until you receive a diploma from another college. I have friends who transferred to MSCD from DU and CU and both said they had never worked so hard in their lives as MSCD was way more challenging.
Physical Education has always been up on top at the four high schools I've been to. But the class that interested me the most was cooking class, it's something I'm passionate about and plan to at least minor in during college.
Lots of people think of Metro State (MSCD) as a community college and therefore looked down upon
