Western State Colorado University Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Alexandra

Faculty, students, and staff make me feel very welcome here. Never in any place I lived before have I felt as safe and comfortable as I do here. This school has opened up so many opportunities for me. I discovered what I want to do with my life halfway through sophmore year and am still able to get a full degree even though I started late. I have made friends with many different types of people. Having 300 beautiful days of sunshine per year makes everyone happy and excited to do outdoor activities. The general mood of this University rocks!

The location. We are the highest in altitude out of any college in America. It is a great place to train for sports or outdoor activities and houses some of the worldest rariest species such as the Gunnison Sage Grouse

The small size makes Western a great school. The classes are small and the teachers get to know you by name, which means students get one on one attention and can ask questions if they get stuck. The small size also creates a community where students can meet new friends very quickly at any number of activities on and off campus.

The campus and undergraduate population is considerably small making it easy to work one on one with your professors. The atmosphere is very liberal and relaxed and a pace that is perfect for me.

I could go on and on but that's probably what your looking for most.
