This is a great school. Everyone here is so happy. The food is good they just added a Qdoba, and the dining dollars are grea.t Super close to the moutons I love the quarter system and it's in a great location with a very active community. Lots to do around the Camus and easy to get a job.

Loved my time here at DU
Overall 4.8
University of Denver is absolutely amazing. The people, academics, location, etc. everything is top-notch. The best school in Colorado no debate. I love it here and feel crazy thankful that I got in and that I chose it. The best decision I have ever made for sure.

DU is a great college and should be one that students want to go to. Has been nothing but that best time of my life.

Love love love. I transferred here and I love it. It's hard because of expectations but I HIGHLY recommend DU. Professors won't let you fail-- they care deeply about us. There's a reason why DU has the reputation it does. Also, it's affordable surprisingly-- the grant they gave was huge.

The campus is absolutely beautiful. The staff is so caring and the teachers are passionate and want to help. If you're scared to walk alone, you can call for a campus security escort to your car. There are so many different clubs. Everyone is very welcoming. The only problem I have is how far the general parking lots are.

DU is a remarkable school and I wouldn't not want to be anywhere else. There is always something to do on campus, it's alive and flourishing. One of my favorite things is to just find myself swept up in the flow of people going to or from class and just feel connected to everyone around me, it's like being a part of something greater.

The cost of the classes makes the university and the degree not worth the time and money. I noticed that there are more and more students coming in from less reputable universities via transfer. It looks to me that DU is turning into a degree mill instead of an accredited institution that strives for academic excellence.
Overall 1.4
This University is a joke, and not worth the tuition cost. The beauricratic nonsense over shadows any chance at actually learning. Just attempted to get my graduation done, and found out that because they switched academic advisors for my program I have to re-justify everything I already did.
Overall 1.6
People in this campus are extremely rude and unfriendly, and the business school is very overrated.

Pay thousands for tuition to just buy a book and teach yourself for a piece of paper..

Avoid this place at all costs. Run for your life.

Poorly run school

Reputation? I had never heard of it. Quality of education? Not great compared to other schools I have attended. Definitely not worth the money.

Social life at DU is not great. If you are not an avid party person this is not the place for you. People here are paying big money and believe that they are way above everyone else, even other people who go there. The profs are okay, not great. The school gives a lot of the money to athletes and doesn't care about education as much.
