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

Crystal

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.

Anna

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.

Christian

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.

Cassandra

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.

Krista

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.

Tara

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