Metropolitan State University of Denver Top Questions

I wish I would have known that you pay for printing paper in your tuition, it would have saved me a whole lot of money.

I wish their was more information on what careers or places of business take or even want certain degrees. It gives a great example to know what you're working very hard for is valued somewhere you decide as a career. It would have been nice to also know more about Financial Aid and how to receive aid. As a full-time student and full-time worker it is very difficult to do both, time management would have been very helpful.

I wish that I had known how to get around the campus more. There are a lot of buildings and within the buildings you can get lost very easily. I also wish that I had known the best places to park or the best ways to commute to campus.

I wish I had known how important a college education would be in my life. It is not just a financial thing, either. Rather for me, I could have been teaching a long time ago. To be a teacher and really impact the lives of the "at-risk" youth whom I once was... I can only imagine the difference a real diploma and a college education could have made for me and countless other children.

I wish I knew what it took to get into that music program there. They were very vague at the open house how to get into the classes and I'm currently thinking about changing my major to music so that is vital information.

Before I started school, I wish I would have had a better idea of what I wanted to do with my education, future and career. For instance, if I had been more proactive in my research I could have more carefully choosen my general courses prior to college. This would have allowed me to pick a better transistion into my desired graduate school.

I wish that I had been better at time management before I had started attending college. At Miami University, I had trouble (like many entering freshmen) adjusting to the schedule of college life. After my freshman year, I had a very low GPA and was placed on academic probation. After freshman year, I worked dilligently to correct this behavior. I attended summer classes to make up for lost time. I managed to fully correct this problem, made the Dean's list four semesters, and salvaged my college career. All this while working at a job 30-40 hours per week.

I wish i had known before I came to this school that the yearly tuition cost of a school does not necessarily make it a great school. Before attending Metro i went to college at the University of Northern Colorado. Tuition at UNC was almost 14,000 dollars a year. Although the tuition was very high at UNC i never felt like i belonged there or felt like i was special to the school. Once moving to Metro (with a tuition of about 5000 dollars) i felt as if i could truly be myself.

I wish I had known what I wanted to be so that I could more specfic about my plan. That way I would be graduated by now.
