Metropolitan State University of Denver Top Questions

Some of the students keep to themselves and don't like to open up to new people.

Location. Metro is located in downtown Denver and I live in Lakewood, it is diffucult to get down there with traffic and navigating downtown.

The worst thing about my school is that I strive to do well and get good grades and try my hardest, however my teachers or peers only care about money, drugs, and sleeping around. The social life was terrible and it was way too expensive for the experience I got.

At the moemnt I wish there would have been dorms. However I realize that they now have many dorms.

Financial aid is very difficult to work with and demanding on their requirements.

The fact that it is a commuter college it is hard to meet people who could become close friends

The Financial Aid Department is very apathetic.

I would have to consider the commuter-school aspect of it the worst thing, because it seems to be that the majority of students I encountered in my classes at Metro are only really interested in acquiring their degrees and moving on, rather than really embracing the college experience and meeting new people.

The worst thing about Metropolitan State College of Denver is the reputation. Among the schools where I was raised, Metro has a reputation as the college for high school dropouts, college dropouts, and other frowned upon individuals. As a result, the students who choose to attend the college are frowned upon regardless their actual situation.

They help that is provided by students who do not know exactly what they are talking about & where everything is. At times it can be a big circle just to get to one place.

The worst thing about my school is that someone was robbed near campus, last week. The robbery wasn't even on campus. I really love Metro State.

The fact that its a communter school is horrible. Its really difficult to make friends and most students there were a lot older than me.

Being on campus when its snowing.

Parking is expensive. Due to the small class sizes some classes fill up quickly and are hard to get into.

The school is non traditional and none of the students live on campus. It can be difficult to make friends, find study partners, or feel comfortable at the campus. Part of college is the experience outside of the classroom and not living on campus takes away from the experience of networking and college life.

The worst thing about my school is the fact that it is a commuter college. It makes it much harder to meet people and I want a typical college experience. At Metropolitan State College of Denver you don't get that university type of experience, you don't live on campus and it's in the middle of a rather large city.

Parking. I go to a State school in downtown Denver, and the school itself is great. Parking, however is a nightmare, and it's expensive (at least, to this student, it's expensive). The lots have meters that do not accept credit/debit cards and will not take bills larger than $10. I am not one that likes to carry cash, so when I go to the ATM and get cash, the machine dispenses a $20. This forces me to make an extra stop in order to get change for parking, wasting valuable time.

Actually, the campus is great! There is a lot of diversity, so going to Metropolitan State College of Denver you are exposed to the real world while in school. There are a lot of people that tend to smoke, but that is really it. Everyone for the most part is friendly.

General first impressions are thatr the classrooms are out dated and in poor shape. This is probably due ot the extensive size of the school and the constant use and abuse by the students. .

Because there are three schools on campus, it can get crowded and chaotic - particularly in the middle of the day. This can make the school seem intimidating and confusing; it can make changing classes difficult and frustrating. Also, because of the sheer numbers, parking on campus is exasperating and very difficult.
