University of Northern Colorado Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about University of Northern Colorado? Why?

Christopher

The city that it's located in smells unpleasant at times.

Desiree

The worst thing I consider about my school is there isn't really a lot of minorities. I consider this the worst thing because being one of the hand full of African-Americans on campus racial comments are common.

Mariah

The worst thing about my school is that the meal plans are very expensive

Anjelica

The worst thing about this school is the high cost of books that you can only obtain from the author publishing their own version. You have to spend the some odd hundred of dollars on a course book that the professor put together just for one semester.

Weston

The Unversity of Northern Colorado is a smaller school with a "Rural" feel. There is limited student activities and not much to help you take pride in the University. Get involved, study hard and be smart with your finances because you are a grown-up now!

Miranda

The worst thing about the University of Northern Colorado to me is the cafeteria food. I pay $2,500 a semester for my meal plan and the food they serve is not the healthiest. College students are already away from home so we do not have our parents to cook us healthy meals that include the major food groups such as meats and vegetables. But the cafeteria at the Univeristy of Northern Colorado serves us "junk food". Yes they have a small salad bar but they lack healthy vegetables and other food groups.

Walter

I don't think that there is anything bad about the university in specific but because of the farms and the meat plants that are close by there is an occasional smell that isn't to fun to be outside in but other than that i think that things are good

Jose

The worst thing about this school would be, in my point of view, the students’ fear towards Greek life. The students’ and faculty view of Greek life is highly impacted by the media’s portrayal of it. Therefore many students have a skewed view of Greek life, which is seen as a large group of students who socialize irresponsibly and harshly haze their potential new members. This is not too common at this university but it could still be a potential danger to the continued growth of Greek life. In my opinion this is the worst thing at the university.

Erin

Campus is spread out and cannot be traveled on foot. Cost of tuition is moderate to high for the area.

Ashley

The worst thing about UNC is the random farm-like smells around campus. Keep in mind, Greeley is a farm town.

Kaitlyn

Our football team does poorly, and there is limited cell phone service in the dorms, whish makes it hard to talk to my family. I also dislike the food served in the dining hall because after a time it is either repetative, or too foriegn.

Amanda

The worst thing about my school would have to be the food. Not as healthy as I would like, and they serve the same thing more than everyone would like.

Courtney

The worst thing about UNC is that we have some very old buildings that need renovated. Some of our buldings have old layouts and need to be updated, but the school doesn't have funding for this. Since budgets are being cut, students are going to have to pick up the fee to help keep the campus up-to-date. This is hard on all of us, especially in an economy like we have now.

Holly

The worst aspect of my school is its reputation as a less academic alternative to larger schools in nearby cities. I always feel as if I am judged for my choice in universities. The fact that this university does not accomodate as many students does not detract from its academic rigor. Due to the nearby universities having larger reputations, this university is often overlooked.

Amber

There are times when our surrounding community, Greeley, is a bit frightening and unproductive. The city tends not to relate or participate with university students and it does have a high crime rate. I feel if we had a more supportive community around us then it would be easier for us to venture out in it and get involved in their activities. As it stands now, the students primarily stay on campus, or even go to other surrounding cities for a weekend of fun., rather than immerse themselves in their own city.

Manuel

How some of the female professors are sexist towards males. I am a male so this counts against me.

Bradley

I wouldn't give much criticism to the this school as it is the one I chose. I would have to say for a beatiful school like UNC it seems out of place in forever degrading downtown Greeley. As a music student I would like to see a much more grand and larger music library than what is here.

Melissa

I believe that the worst thing at my school is that meal plans are so much money. I would like to get one becasue I live off campus but canno't afford the,m.

kaitlyn

I consider the worst thing about my school to be the smell.

Ryan

The worst thing about my school would be the smell. I know that seems kind of weird, but I really like the school; it's just located in the middle of Greeley, which is all farms, and certain times of the day it just smells like the zoo or stock show. The school itself is great in my opinion, it just is a stinky place to live.
