University of Northern Colorado Top Questions

I would consider the worst thing about the University of Northern Colorado to be its location. Outside of school events, there is not much to do within the community. Also, due to its location, it is known for its horrible smell that fills the Greeley air every so often. If it was located elsewhere, it would be a perfect school!

So far, I have liked everything about my school except for the smell of Greeley. Cows are not very pleasent. Overall, UNC is an amazing school academically and socially. I have met so many new friends and I continue to make more.

The worst thing about my school is its reputation. UNC is known as a mediocre university in a small town that smells like manure, but after spending a year at the giant that is CU, I feel so blessed to be here. Sure, there isn't a whole lot to do, particularly since cow-tipping is a lot harder than it looks, but I am more than just a number here. I don't mind when people roll their eyes and ask, "UNC?! Why would anyone want to go there?!", but I wish everyone else knew how great it is.

While the campus may be beautiful and the teachers considerate and helpful, the town of Greeley is at best deserted. There is never anything productive to do and most students go home for the weekends. Also there is a meat packiging plant, so often the town smells strongly from the slaughter house, i.e. boiling blood.

There is nothing really bad about my school. I guess if i would to say the worst thing is the noise in the dorms. The quiet hours are not enforced as well as they should be. It is really hard to sleep and study.

Mostly girls.

The worst thing about my school is the because it is a community college many of the teachers also teach at a state university as well. for this reason I noticed that some of these teachers tend to not take the class seriously and will be lazy regarding our assignments and may do nothing more than play videos during class time. Teachers such as these cause a bad learning environment and make me feel as though I am wasting my money.

The worst thing about the school for me is the campus involvment. There are a ton of ways to get involved on campus. However, only certain groups or events are widely broadcast. Personally to get involved in the activities that interest me would take a little time and research. This is not to say that there is no campus involvment whatsoever. It is simply that I have differing interests than other members of the school might have and that my particular interests are not those within the most popular and thus the information is a little difficult to find.

It is hard to think about the worst thing about my school when I can't even think of a bad thing about it. I have no complaints about the University of Northern Colorado.

Trying to figure out what order to take the classes since they are not always offered each semester.

The worst thing about Northern Colorado is that it is very much a suitcase college. Many people leave or go other places during the weekend. Therefore, the college is relatively dead throughout the weekend times. Sometimes this is a very good thing but for many people this could be a turn off.

I would say the worst thing about my school is the threat of gang violence in and around campus. Though campus itself seems safe it is uneasy to know what occurs close by.

The location is the worst thing about UNC. Greeley, CO is uneventful cow country and also has a very high population of Mexican gangs.

Students with different majors do not interact as often as students with similar majors.

The worst thing about this school is the seperation between central campus and west campus. I never even knew half of the students over there because all my classes were on the other side. There should not be this barrier between the parts of the university.

Location, Greeley Colorado. Smells bad and there is not a lot to do.

The worst thing about my school is the smell. The classes, professors, and clubs are all really great, but Greeley smells. It's a big cow town and really reeks a lot of the time. It is not too bad in the wintertime, but it does smell still. It is a great school other than that though. People say that you get used to it, but i have not. : /

Ice winds, biased political science teachers, LAC credits which are required credits that no one wants to take, the new + - system of grading.

The worst thing about the school is it has a bad reputation. The school is much better than people think.

The town it's in. It's a very small town with no focus on the community. It's also conservative and not to many open-minded people outside of campus. The size of the town also makes it hard to find a work while attending. Which can make it very hard for you to afford college if you don't qualify for financial aid.
