University of Colorado Denver

I pay for tuition out of pocket and tuition is rather expensive. I took a class over the summer online. There are so many students but not enough professors causing some professors to be neglectful and overwhelmed . Of course the summer classes go by rather quickly. We have four months of work to complete in a couple of months and that is to be expected. No problem there. I had some questions and emailed the professor and never received a response! Needless to say, my class had our first exam within the first two weeks and seemed like the exam was conveniently scheduled after the drop deadline for a full refund. Within that two week period we had no graded assignments or any indication as to how we were performing. The majority of the class failed the exam. I didn’t want to risk my gpa so I dropped. I tried to appeal my tuition and that was denied of course. Showed them proof of the non responsiveness and I still had to pay. I decided not to go for Fall semester due to what happened and now I’m back. Disappointed even more now because the same non responsive professor is teaching the same class and is available ( I believe we know why at this point) and there is no availability for the other professors for the same class. It’s really frustrating. CU cares about money only.

Don’t go here. This school does not care about you, your money or how hard you work. They will treat you badly, they will steal from you and they will try to make it so you fail or have a harder time. They treat veterans horribly despite their proclaimed most “veteran friendly” school. Their “ethics” should really be called into question. On a multitude of different levels. Their curriculum needs to be re-evaluated or have more oversight. There is something very shady about this school and how they operate.

Some how, even though I called to make sure I was unenrolled (decided to drop since the Master courses I was taking were below the academic level of a Bachelor course from Michigan State and I wasn't learning) and I did make sure I was very much unenrolled with the person I spoke to... Back in 2012... I now somehow owe $3000 for a class that idiot forgot to unenroll me from. No one at CU will help or even cares. No one will answer my questions as to how this even happened or how a $300 course became $3000. No, no grants or loans were accepted. Basically, I unenrolled. CU didn't do it right. Now I owe $3000 for their mistake. Story of my life right now... My daughter refuses to go there because of this and I'm thinking of moving out of state. Long story short? The education is way sub par there, you get a better education from community college. And they will steal money from you with no explanation and no recourse for assistance.

Don't go here unless you'd like to have your life ruined on a daily basis. The staff doesn't care and being nice and patient with them won't even work. Hiring incompetent people to do important jobs (advising, financials) is why you get one star CU Denver!

I am an international student, don't came here you would waste your time and money. Firstly, you would not met great people, I mean the top student in this school which is not helpful in the future career, the connection all around the world through alumni---don't think about it. I am pretty confused whether all the school in US are so ignorant and rude to students until I saw the local student's comment. Also pretty confused why I have to pay like 10 dollar to get the transcript of undergraduate. Everything costly, the school are not like a public school, the price of each credit are high. You would have to wait for and schedule everything and wait like 3 to 5 business days. Efficentless. I don't think Professor really care what you are thinking and your feeling. You would really feel sad as you came to Auraria Campus. I don't know why. The advisor in this school are to some extent helpful. The student are really hard to engage in an efficient and better interaction with their professor. It is kinds of joke. The ranking is gradually slide down from 100 to 200, and recently I really mad about the ranking nearly 500. It is at the very end of Top 500. And dean, the chancellor and the staff should really feel shame for their ignorant of dereliction of duty. And lastly, I think all my class are in the afternoon which is kinds of embarrassing, when you understand that the professor only came before class or often out of office. The university professor earn 110000 annually, which is even higher than DU. Why? Worth it? Where is my money? Why school build lots of new building which to my extent not useful for me. Shame, my money (International student)support almost 60 percent of either the city of denver or the state of colorado. Whether it is facility of transportation or the livelihood. I feel really sad to tell you maybe CU Denver manifest the spirit of the City of Denver, cold, not open minded, not friendly with the international student. You get a F, CU Denver.
