University of Denver Top Questions

It is valuable to attend college because I learned more about myself and the world, then I would have if I hadn't. I learned to accept people from different lifestyles and culture. I've taken subjects I never thought I would and end up growing and learning about the world around me because of it. It allows you to grow as a person and truely experience life and a world outside of being a child. Aside form the fact that you expand your knowledge as a person but you get an expierence only college can offer. If I hadn't choosen to go to college I know I wouldn't be the same person I am today.

My college experience has pushed me to be capable of accomplishments I never would have dreamt of prior. The school and course work is at times so heavy and so challenging, I can only be thankful that all of my classmates know exactly how I feel. The pride that is achieved after a week of work that seemed impossible on Monday is indescribable. At the end of my college experience, no one will ever tell me I didn't work as hard as I possibly could. The true pride of everything I am every day I attend class is what I really get out of the experience.

Before attending the University of Denver, I imagined college to be exciting and the "best years of my life". Not to say that my assumption was completely wrong, but our culture seems to emphasize an almost unrealistic view of typical college life. I imagined having a large group of friends and little homework. The friends process took me awhile to adapt to. Being my first time away from home, I had to learn the skills to make new friends in college. Fortunately, I soon realized that I am not alone and others are friendless here like myself. I asked to sit with a girl for dinner, and she is currently my best friend. I had difficulties with my first roommate and learned a lot about myself and others and it is necessary to be straight-forward from the get go. As for the workload, it varies for every student. I know I have quite a heavy workload compared to my peers, but when I work hard and receive an A, it is well worth the effort. Making plans and attending the occasional party really help me cope with stress and have a great time here at Denver University.

Learning is very important. Look forward in life. Think things in differernt ways.

At college, so far, I have loved classes that I never thought I would be interested in. At DU, the professors are not only masters of thier art and passionate to teach it, but are also incredible teachers who are passionate about unlocking each of their students' maximum potential. I have been contemplating changing my major to the subject of every class that I am in. i am learning information well beyond the scope of anything I began to learn in high school. In adddition to the rigourous and exciting classes, college has given me a valuable sense of independence. I am handling all my personal issues myself, meeting one on one with my professors, schedualing my own doctor's appointments, and buying my own groceries. I am getting prepared to live on my own. Du helped me find an internship over the summer. The career advisors helped me write a defined resume and prepared me well for job interviews. I love DU, but I fear it's 45,000 a year tuition might force me to transfer. I hope to be able to stay and continue this valuable experience.

From my college experience, I have recieve an open view of the world. Before college I was unaware about the problems of the world, but college has given me the opportunity to learn about a variety of problems occuring in the world. For example, my college experience has given me the opportunity to learn about social inequalities, the importance of diversity and priviledge, and finally, the importance of education and its connection to opportunities. It has been valuable to attend college because it gives me the opportunity to recieve an education my family has not gotten, but most important attending college has allowed me to recieve an education to become an ER Physician to help people.

What I have gotten out of my college experience is how important it is to be prepared and organized. These simple but not easy characteristic have trained me to be a better person in my community. I have also became a better friend and metour to those that are involved in my life.

What i have gotten out of my college experience is a great education and have found new frieships that could last a lifetime. College, for me, has been a great experience and a great accomplishment for not only me bt also for my family. Being the first person in my family to attend college, it makes me feel good about myself knowing that I want to further my education and get into a field that I will enjoy for years to come.

I have been in the military (Active Duty) for the last 8 years. I wish I had time to take advantage of educational oppurtunities when I was younger.

The professors at the University of Denver are absolutely wonderful. They demonstrate an insatiable passion for their field of study as well as for the well-being of their students; and of any college I've visited or heard of, are the most available to coach their students on a one-on-one basis. As a second-year student, I have already recieved personal help and professional consulting from three of my business professors on a social entrepreneurship project I am pursuing outside of class. The project is highly involved legally, logistically and socially and would have been impossible for me to initiate without the free counsel of the faculty I have worked with. It has been exhilarating to see this project come to life, and I would never have achieved what I already have (and what I know I can in the future) without the extra time and attention dedicated to me by these special people! They are so fervent about sharing their knowlege and skills with their students that one can't help but to feel an overwhelming sense of inspiration and motivation when working with them.
