University of Colorado Boulder Reviews

"I am just beginning this graduate program and feel that the faculty support thus far has been excellent. The faculty has responded to me quickly and professionally. The only con I have at this time is that the program and the Education department do not offer and sort of financial assistance besides loans. Overall, I am looking forward to beginning the program at the University of Colorado."

"The graduate program at CU is extremely competitive and provides a great education especially for those interested in the space side of aerospace engineering. The faculty is willing to support and work with students which makes it a great place to get a degree."

"Pro: competitive program Con: weak recruitment network"

"The pros of a graduate program is that it makes me think critically and contemplate about the problems of the society deeper. I don't see too many cons except the low salary."

"Great faculty and fellow students; everyone just wants to grow and learn, and help others do the same."

"Pros: funded cons: you have to work to receive funding"

"CU Boulder has a ton of different areas in which to do research. The Chemistry department also encourages students to search out research opportunities in different departments so you have a wide range of options when choosing dissertation projects. It is a pretty big school, but the grad program is a reasonable size; we are all very good friends and get to TA a lot of students the first year. Overall I'm very happy with the program, there aren't a lot of classes required so you get to dive into research pretty quickly which is great after a very busy first year of classes."

"Pros: the graduate aerospace program at CU Boulder is extremely well rounded. There are many different graduate focus areas, and there are opportunities to take classes in secondary focus areas. The professors are extremely knowledgeable and willing to help their students. Boulder is also an excellent place to live; I love the accessibility to the mountains/ ski resorts and downtown Denver. Great views from campus. Cons: It takes a while to get used to navigating the engineering center."

"While all students are in competition with each other to receive the coveted "A," there is without a doubt a strong sense of community at CU Law. Students here have the perfect mix of intelligence and personality."

"Pros: 1. Very fun location, 2. laid back classmates, 3. and great alumni network to help with the job search. Cons: 1. Boulder housing is too expensive."

"Great School! I found it super easy to meet people and everyone is really laid back. I would highly recommend CU-Law for anyone looking to attend law school."

"The interdisciplinary nature makes it a unique program, one of its kind. However, the management should promote fields other than networking, although attempts have began and will hopefully continue in the years to come."

"The pros of the MA in Hispanic Linguistics at CU include the amazing faculty and the flexibility with your schedule. You can take classes in departments across campus as you work towards your MA. The cons, as with all grad programs, is that it is a tremendous amount of work and the costs of living in Boulder are very high."

"CUB is a fabulous environment which is supportive and has a rigorous chemistry program. Their ties with local national labs also provide unique opportunities not available elsewhere!"

"Boulder is a great place to study and the value of my education has been high. Fellow graduate students and professors are very approachable and friendly. The department is currently experiencing growing pains - moving to a brand new biotechnology center and adding new faculty and students at both the grad and undergrad levels - which has led to some loss of community and support. I predict that the graduate experience will improve as the new faculty and department settle into the new location."

"People are easy to meet and hang out with. There is plenty to do at night! The faculty is accessible and the class sizes are great."

"AS a journalism major I really learned how to write clearly and succinctly which really helped when I went to law school. While I never actually worked professionally as a journalist, the skills I learned and practiced in college perfected my writing for law school, and ultimately in my practice of law. I'm currently a high school English teacher that teaches writing skills, so it had an obvious impact in that way."

"The students are nice and not overly competitive. The faculty is all accessible and friendly. The classes are small. Amazing location. The building is almost brand new with all new everything! Boulder is a very accommodating city and CO as a whole is a great place to live and practice law!"

"I have not begun my graduate work, but I have heard that the school has a good reputation and that the program has a good reputation. The city of Boulder, however, is expensive to live within, and I had difficulty finding an affordable apartment."

"Boulder's student body is made up of the best of the best. My peers are extremely intelligent, creative individuals, and I count myself very lucky to be working with them. In addition, Boulder is an absolutely stunning place. The campus is nestled next to an incredible mountain range, also providing many opportunities for hiking and skiing! One cannot go wrong with attending Boulder!"
