Metropolitan State University of Denver Top Questions

Be sure to remained focused even when there are lots of distractions!

I wish I would have known how difficult online classes were.

The thing that i wish i had have know before i came to this campus was that it is located right where traffic in Denver gets the worst. This means that no matter what time of day you have class, there will be lots of traffic to deal with whil trying to get to school. Also there is no free parking, and the cheepest that i have been able to find is 2.50 for the day, while not bad i wish i had have been informed about this before i decided to commute with a car to the campus.

It may have been helpful for me to have known the details of the transferability and relevance (with regards to other 4-year institutions) of the courses that are a part of Metro's undergraduate curriculum.

I wish I would have known more about the available scholarships and grants here.

I honestly believe that there is really nothing about George Fox University that I wish I would have known. I believe that this college was perfect for me. I would have to say the only thing I wish I would have been taught during high school though is how to actually study. My high school was a total joke in the studies compared to college.

I wish i had known that college in general is a whole different experience, and basically a culture shock.

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.

I wish I'd known that majoring in music is a full time job, even when you're attending classes part time. The hardest part of going back to school has been time and money. I am a single, piano teacher, supporting myself through school while maintaining a teaching studio. It has been very difficult to keep up with my studies and practice schedule while maintaining a teaching studio to support myself. A scholarship would eliminate some of the financial strain and allow me to focus more on my studies and practicing.

Before going into Metro I wished I knew how expensive it was going to be. Also how different the classmates were going to be compared to a regular school where young people are studying. The school has a lot of young students but half of this people are not very young so it makes it a little bit intimidating or uncomfortable .
