    Am learning a lot

    I had no idea I could cram so much information into my head. I find myself doing everyday activities and understanding so much more about them that I did before. Every time I clean my fish tank, I wonder how many different molecules are in the water and how I can eliminate them or produce more using my knowledge of chemistry. I watch the Discovery channel and find myself naming the phylum or class of the species I see.
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is beautiful. Being on summer break, I miss walking along the sidewalks under the gorgeous trees. I also miss gazing at the detailed architecture of the dorms and lecture halls. I love the small class size and the professors seemed so determined to have every student succeed, no matter how big the class is. UNC also offers great tutoring services which includes one on one or supplemental instruction (group).
    Bang for the buck

    Very much so. UNC offers so many opportunities to help students succeed. Such as free tutoring, job fairs, scholarship fairs, a variety of clubs, an abundance of sororities and fraternities and support groups. Our recreation center is awesome. I never once waited for a machine and the pool is huge! They have really great fitness classes also; I really liked aerobics. Our library is beautiful. Each level has a different noise level so you can be social while you study or you can study alone.
    Tips for prospective students

    To do well in your classes make sure you don't get behind. Read chapters before, attend every lecture and review afterwards. Procrastinating and waiting a week before a test to study is a death sentence. Try to find a good balance between socializing and studying. Make sure to do both, but not only one or the other.
    Great for these types of students

    Students that are intimidated by large lectures, but don't want to go to a private school. UNC is known for it's nursing program, so if you want to go into nursing come here. UNC is a well rounded school and I believe anyone can find their niche here.

    Am learning a lot

    Not only have I picked up quite a bit going to UNC as far as my classes have gone (all of which have been highly informative), but I have been placed in an environment where it just feels right to continue into the ways of reality and adulthood.
    Am enjoying being here

    So far at UNC I have made solid friends, been involved in two groups for improvisational comedy, developed a love for philosophy as a subject, and experienced a sense of individuality that I don't think I've ever known before. It really is something special when you realize that you're living through what will one day be some of your fondest memories.
    Bang for the buck

    One of my primary reasons for attending UNC in the first place stems from all that I had heard about the Performance Arts program here. UNC may not be the best acting school in the country (if you're looking for that, I'd suggest an observatory), but considering the price, I do believe that it presents one of the best values in the country for this sort of thing. UNC provides skilled training at an affordable cost.
    Tips for prospective students

    My tips for prospective students would be to prepare ahead of time for what may come, and to visit the campus, as they may be able to feel the community vibe that UNC carries.
    Great for these types of students

    Am learning a lot

    The teachers here are so non-traditional which makes learning so much easier and more fun for me.
    Am enjoying being here

    I enjoy the sense of community with such small classes. ( I am at the UNC Denver Campus) All of the students have the same common bond/goal which is to become teachers.
    Bang for the buck

    Compared to Greeley which is at about $18,000/year, it is about $7,000/year here. As a part of the program, all students must do an apprenticeship every day which provides some money for college.
    Tips for prospective students

    The Denver campus is nice if you don't want to live in Greeley or away from home but still want to major in ECE, Elementary Ed, or Special Ed. You work in the morning and go to school in the afternoon. Compared to most colleges and Greeley, you will be way ahead of the game, already working in schools, knowing if this is for you or not, having experience, and knowing how to write a full IEP.
    Great for these types of students

    The professors here seem really keen on helping students succeed. They are always willing to help students out with whatever they need. I love how knowledgeable that are in their prospective subjects. On top of that, if you are planning on doing any type of exchange trip, the professors are super helpful with finding classes with credits that will transfer.
    Am enjoying being here

    UNC's campus is absolutely beautiful! I love how central campus has that old school feel to it and yet is still up-to-date on the inside. The campus is kept extremely clean, which is always a plus. I love that there is a club for basically every activity you can think of, and the students on campus are laid back enough to make this an extremely enjoyable experience!
    Bang for the buck

    Definitely get more then you would expect. This school is considered one of the cheaper schools but the staff and campus don't feel cheap in the least. Our rec center is extremely nice.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do not sign up for 8 AM classes that take place across campus.

    perfect campus size; small enough to feel like you know tons of people but big enough to grant you crazy awesome experiences. through unc, i was able to compete nationally in business competitions, do real-life marketing projects for big companies like wells fargo, and meet major business and political leaders nationally.
    Tips for prospective students

    take advantage of your opportunities. there are tons of them, but you have to take action. network like crazy because you will meet awesome people who will do awesome things. apply yourself and meet your teachers. it's not just learning for the sake of it anymore; you're preparing for real life. if you don't know the answer on a test, no big deal. if you don't know the answer in a job interview, you flip burgers. college is not the time to cut corners!
    Academic Rigor

    school has always come very easily to me, but my upper-level classes were certainly challenging. however, i learned more in them than i ever thought i could and gained great real-life experience, which ultimately led to job options even in a depressed economy. i had more options when i graduated than anyone i knew.
    Dorm Life

    i was an ra/senior ra for 3 years at unc and i loved it!!! great communities, great facilities, great dining! do it!!!
    Food and Dining

    all-you-can-eat buffet style award-winning dining. get ready for the freshman 15 if you're not careful! lot of healthy options though for the disciplined!
    What to do for fun

    great frolf course, dorm life is awesome, nice fields all over for various sports, fantastic rec center, uc is cool, etc...
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    there is a network of tunnels underground that few have ever seen (i have seen them but not gone inside). rumor is you get expelled if they catch you there.
    Great for these types of students

    music, nursing, theatre, education, business, etc.
    Clubs and Activities

    plenty of stuff to do and ways to get involved.
    Campus Safety

    safety on campus is great, but surrounding area, especially 1 mile to the east is shifty.

    Am learning a lot

    The classes and faculty are great so far, a few of my teachers were kind of hard to get used to with their teaching style being kind of high and dry, but the classes overall have helped me learn more about myself as a student. Through my first year I've learned what it takes to be a Bear and learning more better studying habits.
    Am enjoying being here

    I do like the campus a lot but for me living up there isn't the best for me, it's hard for me to focus during the evenings and I don't quite like the food myself. Sleeping at nights was kind of hard because since it is college, there are some people who don't seem to sleep and make a ruckus all night or late into the early morning.
    Bang for the buck

    The price of this school is great! unless you have to pay for living on campus, the price is way to high for even the smallest and oldest dorm room... The food is over priced as well, it's mostly frozen stuff that's pretty bland. Other than having to pay for living expenses the school is very affordable and great, well worth the money!
    Tips for prospective students

    try to get out of paying for campus living, it's not that great nor is it worth it, live with your parents as long as you can so they can pay for more things other than yourself, spend a lot of time studying and even if homework isn't a big deal in you classes, do it and take it seriously! it will help! don't stay up too late and get a good amount of sleep and for god's sake stay OUT of 8 am classes!
    Great for these types of students

    great school for students who are looking for art, and medical careers and along with the best of teaching schools. This school needs great students who are hardworking and take school seriously!

    Am learning a lot

    I was typically not an attentive learner before I attended this institution. When you find the program that bests interests you, have faith in the faculty and staff for giving you an informative course in whichever it may be in. With healthy study habits it is more than possible to exceed academically at UNC.
    Am enjoying being here

    Coming from Boston, MA, the first concern I had was not liking the school at all, or not making any friends. But without even visiting the school beforehand, I am confident in my decision to be here. Both students and faculty are friendly and welcoming, and there definitely is a place for everyone here.
    Bang for the buck

    Relatively inexpensive compared to most OOS tuition at other institutions. Fees and costs are still an issue where ever you go, but UNC would be a good choice to go if you can't afford an expensive school.
    Tips for prospective students

    If your sure about UNC, apply early, and do everything you need to do well in advance. This school will work in your benefit if you get things done in a timely manner.
    Great for these types of students

    I cannot subject a particular type of student that I would not refer. I would welcome all types of students to this school. I've seen a variation of people come here and develop a connection to UNC one way or another.

    Am learning a lot

    Due to how I took Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate classes, I find some of the classes to be reviews of what I had learned in the upper level classes in high school. On the other hand, I am still learning quite a bit, especially in my Mexican American Studies course, and am enjoying at the same time!

    I especially look forward to future classes, when I go more into detail of subjects concerning my major.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love the campus!! Although I am commuting from a nearby town, the colors in the fall on campus are magnificent, and the campus is beautiful. Many of the people on campus are also very friendly and helpful, and if you don't know where something is, just ask a student or someone walking around, and they'll direct you to where you need to go!

    The only main disadvantage of the school is how the two sides of campus are split up. There's a West Campus and Central Campus. If you have a class on West Campus, then on Central Campus fifteen minutes later, you have to almost run in order to get to your next class! Though, this is not too much to worry about, for many of the classes that you'd take for your major will be on the same side of UNC.
    Bang for the buck

    The money is definitely worth it, especially in comparison to other schools in Colorado. Especially for in-state tuition, UNC is MUCH cheaper than say CSU or CU Boulder. Also, if one can, try and see if there's family in the nearby area that you can stay at. As those who have been researching colleges know, room and board is usually almost as much as tuition. The same goes for UNC, and is the main reason why I'm staying with my parents for at least a year or so.
    Tips for prospective students

    --At orientation, make sure you plan your classes somewhat close together. Make sure the buildings your class are on the same side of UNC.

    --You will be told this over and over, but do not take 18 credits your first semester, unless you might have had lots of AP/IB classes. I am taking 18 credits as a first semester freshman, and I am surviving only because I've taken IB and AP classes.

    --Get involved with the community! Volunteer work is always the best thing on resume's and this is especially true well into college and beyond.
    Great for these types of students

    More introverted students. The campus is large enough so that there's lots of new people to meet, yet is small enough that you still see familiar faces from time to time.

    Prospective teachers. UNC is considered one of the best teacher school's in the nation, and it's for no small reason. If you do decide to go to UNC as an education major of some sort, I HIGHLY recommend pursuing an endorsement in either ESL (English as a Second Language) or Bilingual/Bicultural. These endorsements are tailored to help you succeed in teaching minority students, particularly Mexican and Hispano students. Within these endorsements, there's another program called Cumbres here that is helping students with these endorsements, and is well-known within the state of Colorado for raising teachers who are leaders in the school and community. I am currently in this program, and it's fantastic! Although I am a Biology/Secondary Education major, this program is amazing, and I highly suggest you try and get in.

    Business students. Although I am not in the business program myself, I've heard that our business department is also nationally known.

    Theatre/Music students: For the same reason above, we have a well-known theatre and music program.

    Am learning a lot

    It is AMAZING how much I have learned in the one and a half years I have been here. Some of the classes may start out as review of high school information but, trust me, you will learn a lot. The variety of classes offered at UNC is incredible. You can take a Badminton class in the morning and a chemistry class in the afternoon. The professors are easy to work with and some are actually quite entertaining.
    Am enjoying being here

    Where to start? I love the size of the campus. Its not too big that you feel lost but it is not small enough to feel like everyone know everything about you. The residence halls have a good community feeling and are a great way to get to know people. The campus is beautiful.

    There are so many opportunities to get involved on campus. You can help plan events (like concerts with Boys Like Girls or homecoming), play sports (intramural or for the school), Greek Life or groups that concern your major.
    Bang for the buck

    It is expensive to be here, definitely. But it is worth it, believe me. The residence halls are a great place to be and the food at the dining hall is pretty good. The classes are definitely worth the money as well, as long as you actually attend class.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are looking for a medium size college with great classes and variety and awesome people, the University of Northern Colorado is the place to go. The campus is the perfect size and it is beautiful.

    Did learn a lot

    Frankly, UNC is quite good for the unmotivated student. Though there are some more demanding classes, you can pass most classes with regurgitation and little effort. Understand, most of the classes are geared towards students simply in the class for the credit. If you actually want to learn, you'll truly have to apply yourself and may have to become the proverbial squeaky wheel if you want support from your professors.
    Did enjoy being here

    UNC can be quite cliquish. Greek life is quite active. However, the school is large. If you want to meet people, you will. The town leaves little to be desired, but there are quite a few activities offered around and near to the campus if you feel like getting involved with something.
    Bang for the buck

    UNC is a relatively inexpensive, fairly simple way to get a degree.
    Tips for prospective students

    Most UNC students are from Colorado. Most also are from similar socioeconomic backgrounds and share similar religious and political beliefs. If you're from Colorado and want a school close (in all senses of the word) to home, this is a good option. However, if you're looking for a school to stretch you, you may want to consider elsewhere. Also, I've talked with quite a few other people, and we all agree the prospective student tours of UNC are mostly authentic. What you see is what you get (besides the food). If you go on the tour and the school doesn't click for you, consider trying somewhere else.

    Academic Rigor

    The classes here are much smaller than in other universities. With classes maxing to 20-30 students the smaller classes actually allow the teachers to get to know their students and get down to a much deeper way of teaching than they could in big lecture class. They can actually learn your name, the high school like size feels familiar and not to intimidating, and during class they make sure that everyone gets the topics so that they can get good grades
    Dorm Life

    The University is full of friendly people that are just waiting to make new friends. The west campus has many people and gives off a more modern feel around the university. With dorms with 100+ people if you like to meet a lot of new people that is the side for you. Central campus has smaller resident dorms but allows for a more intimate group of people to get close too. A more calm area but still just as bit fun.
    Food and Dining

    The food in the dining area is fantastic. there are 3 available food courts around on campus two in the respective dorm areas and 1 in the middle of the campus. They are accessible to everyone on campus with a meal plan. The food is all you can eat and is delicious. From meals like pizza, Chinese food, to hamburgers and desserts with cookies and cake, this is definitely an amazing place when it come to food.

    I'm learning more than I thought i could ever learn.There's so many classes and new information given every single class. There are literally classes here for absolutely anything a person would be interested in!
    Am enjoying being here

    As a freshman i hated being away form my family and my home. I felt so isolated from what i felt was comfort. However after the first semester went y, i started learning more about programs and clubs, sports and all the activities that go on. Now i feel like it really is my own little community. Reach out and see whats offered. Just like theres classes for anything desired, there will be a program or club to side with it!
    Bang for the buck

    I would say you definitely can get an great experience out of what you put in. Coming from Denver,living in my reality, UNC seemed financially outta my reach, but I wanted it and worked for it and ended up getting the aid i needed. if you put in your time and you put in what you want out of it, you will get it! Just takes some work, patience and strength.
    Tips for prospective students

    1. Prepare before you come-college visits, class outlooks, programs/clubs/sports- make sure its somewhere that you can spend all day everyday.
    2. Be ready to work hard if you want the best outta you education. Don'T slack off or procrastinate. It's nothing like high school so dont come in expecting a free ride with little to do.
    3. Dont give up-it's worth the work.
    4.GET INVOLVED!!! not always hard work and no play...plus making connections and networking with people during this time in your life can be the people you have by your side 10 years down the road!

    I am very satisfied with the education that I received from my undergraduate degree; I feel like my foundation in my chosen major is very strong, and I have high hopes for the graduate program. You get out what you put in.
    Academic Rigor

    Though the school did not offer the most innovative approach to English literature, the program focuses very strongly on foundations and theory. The level of difficulty depends, of course, entirely on the professor, but over all the courses are challenging without being soul-crushing, and they lend themselves to interesting discussions and an open learning environment.
    Dorm Life

    I really couldn't comment on dorm life - I never had the opportunity to live in one.
    Food and Dining

    From what little I have seen of the food and dining services at UNC, they seem adequate. However, there are several small restaurants near the campus which serve excellent food for relatively cheap. If you find yourself in Greeley, check out Roma's pizza - it's fresh, hot, and amazing.
    What to do for fun

    The campus hosts some interesting activities, they do inexpensive film screenings in Michener Hall and host regular student gatherings. Fortunately, the campus is also very close to down-town Greeley, which is small, but pretty nice. Unfortunately, there is NOT a bookstore in Greeley... just as a warning for future students, the nearest Barnes and Noble is 20 miles away.
    Campus Safety

    The campus is very safe. I always feel comfortable on campus, regardless of the time of day, and campus police make regular patrols. The university also issues a bulletin regarding recent events in the Greeley area and dangers to be aware of.

    Tips for prospective students

    This University has amazing academic opportunities if one applies themselves. It is not a very competitive school when it comes to academics or athletics; but it is when it comes to who can get more drunk. There are many many parties, and outdoorsy stuff (hiking, snowboarding, rock climbing) is closer if you choose a front range school.
    Academic Rigor

    Bottom line is that you get what you put into the class. Some classes here, you can pull A's and learn nothing and it doesn't motivate many students to apply themselves in the class room. The mathematics, music, and philosophy programs are top notch. Over all, if you visit the teacher during office hours, and go to class with an open mind; you'll learn a lot. Not just about the subject, but about life.
    Dorm Life

    Clean, roomy, West Campus aren't as social, but they are way nicer. so take your pick.
    Food and Dining

    AMAZING!!!! I could eat here for the rest of my life. many people complain about the repetitiveness of the food, but I just ask the chefs what I can mix to make it taste good. So I end up with a new plate everyday.
    What to do for fun

    if you wanna party, this is your school. If you wanna do outdoorsy things, I would check into schools closer to the mountains. The closest state park is a 40 minute drvie. the mountains are also 40 minutes. snowboarding is 2 1/2 hours D:
    Bang for the buck

    You get more here than you would at CU or CSU because it's smaller so that means more individual attention in the class room.

    Overall is a great school. The environment , the people, the professors are awesome! It's affordable and has the full college experience for everyone.
    Tips for prospective students

    Go to class at least very often and make good study habits. It's fairly simple to keep your grades up. Don't spend too much time partying first semester (don't mess up your GPA), but have fun! If you have any doubts ask on campus, so many people have helpful tips and information for you!
    Academic Rigor

    A lot of class's are easy to pass so long as you show up and turn in work. There is also a lot you can get out of each class so it's good to make it count and learn something. Some classes do require reading and a lot of analytic writing and it is more academically challenging but that's a good thing, right? :)
    Dorm Life

    There's a good variety of dorms at school. Some very nice and slightly costly, to average (sharing a bathroom), etc. People are friendly and helpful if you need it. Enjoy your stay! Be friendly and open to meeting different kinds of people. If things don't go well you can always change rooms, dorms, etc.
    Food and Dining

    This really depends on the day, sometimes the food is good and there's variety. Some days it's not so good and you might want to eat out around the school. Luckily there's a few good places around for food, including : Subway, Chipotle, Taste of Philly, and other places.
    What to do for fun

    This depends on what you like to do. If a small town isn't your style , there's always those who make the drive to Ft. Collins and hang out there. If not the school has plenty of things and activities. You just have to be aware of them and go join.

    An amazing school with an exceptional nursing program, school of business, education program, and theater program. UNC is well known for these fields. I would highly recommend UNC to anyone considering these areas of study.
    Tips for prospective students

    The best advice i can give is to really pay attenetion in your classes. Try to absorb as much as you can. You are being taught this information for a reason! Also utilize your professors as much as you need they are there to help you succeed. And lastly get involved with clubs or activities on campus its a great way to make friends and get to know your school and community.
    Academic Rigor

    The academics here are challenging, but that's a good thing in my opinion. It pushes you to learn all that you can and helps prepare you for the real world and your future career. Also the school offers free tutoring for many classes, i would suggest taking advantage of this!
    Dorm Life

    UNC has many different dorms on both sides of campus (West Campus and Central Campus). Central Campus is where many theater, music, and nursing students live. I have experienced living on both sides of campus. Both are nice, but if suggest Central Campus for those that prefer a smaller sized dorm and West Campus for those that like a large capacity dorm. Also most LAC courses will be mainly on the West side of campus.
    Food and Dining

    The food in the dorms are pretty decent and they have a wide variety to choose from. On Central campus there is Toby and Kendall (TK), on West there is Holmes, and at the University Center (UC) there is the food court as well as Taco Bell, Starbucks, Subway, Einstein Bagels, and a Mini Mart. So there are lots of options!
    What to do for fun

    I would suggest heading out of Greeley to Fort Collins. It's the town over (about 45 min. away) The town is bustling with college students. Check out old town its filled with cool little shops, fun places to eat, and there are fairs and event going on year round. There are also some amazing places to go hiking, dog parks, and places to swim.
    Clubs and Activities

    There is a large variety of clubs and activities you can get involved in on campus. The best way to check them out is at the fall bazaar at the beginning of the school year. Or you can also go online to the school website or stop by the information desk at the UC.
    Greek Life

    I haven't personally been involved but In know we have many sororities and fraternities. Both are very active with events on campus and in the community.
    Campus Safety

    The campus is very safe. There are always campus police patrolling the school and surrounding areas, as well as emergency help pillars all over campus. There is a blue button you can press and within moments a police officer will be there to help you. You can also call for a police escort to walk you across campus at any time day or night.

    This school is amazing! I have met some of the best people I have ever known. The faculty and staff are wonderful and super helpful. I have also fallen in love with the campus and being on summer break I am missing it terribly.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would say the best tip is to get involved. If you get involved you are going to have an amazing experience as a freshman. Also as a tip I would say to be careful who you room with. Don't choose someone you went to high school with no matter how good of friends you are try to get someone new.
    Academic Rigor

    Being a biology major the classes are fairly difficult. I spent many nights and weekends studying for tests and practicals.

    The University of Colorado is a very nice college. They have activities for anyone with any sort of interest, as well as a friendly staff that will work with you to help you achieve your goals. The students that are there seem to be pretty friendly too, and the doorms are very nice.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved. It will help you make new friends on campus that you will have for the rest of your life.
    Academic Rigor

    Most kids go to college thinking that all they will do is sit in a lecture hall and do nothing but listen to a teacher talk in a monotone voice about the subject for the day. I got the chance to sit in on a class, and it was very interesting, the students were participating, and I actually learned something!!
    Dorm Life

    All of the dorms on campus have been renovated at one point or another, and they are all very nice facilities. I would recommend staying on West Campus if you can though. They are the nicest of them all, having been renovated the most recently of all of the dorms. Central Campus has some very nice cultured buildings though, and all of the rooms seem to be very clean. That is...until the students get there. haha.
    Food and Dining

    The food is great! I got to enjoy a meal at one of the three cafes on campus for my New Admitted Student Day, and boy did I get full! They have different selections everyday, and you get to choose what you eat! Horray for not having to eat the same school lunch everyday like you did in high school!

    unc is great school with a medium sized campus filled with all modern buildings and technologies. professors here on campus are great in fields of studies, and each major offers it's own free tutoring program. although greeley is a small rural town it's only a short drive to bigger cities such as fort collins and denver.
    Tips for prospective students

    unc is not a party school. students are here to learn, it's all taken very seriously.
    Academic Rigor

    freshman classes are created at a reasonably difficulty level to help students transfer to a new lifestyle. although the classes aren't necessarily the toughest things like gpa and honors programs are taken very seriously on campus.

    unc is very reasonable for in-state students. if you are not an out of state resident there are several great scholarship programs that really help bring the tuition down. overall the price is worth it!

I do feel though that some classes are pointless when it comes to my major, I don't understand why I have to take these classes because they don't pertain to what I need for my future job, but I guess you never know what knowledge could be useful!
    Am enjoying being here

    I LOVE the school and campus. The campus is beautiful, the buildings are nice. There's easy access to many resources including books, internet, and mentors from every job possible. I'm not a fan of the town of Greeley itself... it'd be nice to have more activities for college students. Most of us leave on the weekends to get away, but for education purposes, it's good.
    Bang for the buck

    UNC is one of the less expensive schools in Colorado, but I feel as though they charge fees that aren't necessary.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you're looking for a big ivy league type school where everyone is extremely studious and serious all the time, UNC is not for you. Not that it's a joke school, but everyone is very laid back and knows how to have a good time.

    Great for education majors. UNC started as a teachers school so our education program is awesome. Our nursing school is great as well, one of the most accredited in the country. Our business school is great, as well as our musical theater department.

    The University of Northern Colorado Greeley is a great place to be. So far I have gained both personal and academic knowledge. For example in English 122 I have learned that to become a better writer takes a lot of trial and error. You have to continue writing. Having your peers and your professor proofread your writing will make you a much better writer in the long run. When writing in college third person must be used, it allows you to state your opinion without saying I me or we. The intro class for my major was great. I learned so much about the justice system. Having the intro class to Criminal Justice made me realize that I really do want to pursue my career as a U.S. Marshal. As far as personal experience goes I have learned one big lesson. Time management is important for everything. There is always so much to do at UNC. The one thing that can hinder you from doing anything is having poor time management skills. Get your assignments started at least when they are assigned. That can save you a lot of time, stress and nights with only four hours of sleep. The last thing that I learned is that to have less stress and get to know more people you have to get involved in something. I am involved in two activities on campus. One is the Bear Cave Wrestling club and the other is the Navigators, which is a huge Christian organization on campus. In both these activities I have made many new friends and connections. Overall those are the things that I have learned this semester.
    Am enjoying being here

    UNC is full of life. There is always something to do. whether its going to a sporting event or just hanging out on the weekends with friends. There is always someone new to meet every week. Being on campus there is a greater sense of independence and it feels good, but with that independence there is more responsibility. One of the best parts of being at UNC is the summer time. The campus is beautiful. It's always nice to study outside on a blanket underneath a shady tree and beautiful green grass. The winters are nice as well. the snow piles up, which makes for a lot of fun when you want to have snowball fights with friends or if you want to build an igloo or a snow man. Overall the campus life is good for getting to know people and making memories with friends.
    Bang for the buck

    To attend UNC it costs about $20,000, but that is way less expensive than other four year universities. For that $20K students get a lot of perks. For starters students can choose from several residence halls either on Central Campus of West Campus. They are all really nice and they each have their own type of community. If you feel that one residence hall is not for you than you can change residence halls to where ever you want to live. In the residence halls students have FREE laundry, which is a big deal. Having free laundry makes life a little less stressful especially if you are not employed. One of the most amazing things that sets UNC apart from other campuses is that students get into UNC sporting events for FREE!! The greatest thing to me is the amazing dining hall food. There are three dining halls on campus to choose from. All three serve gourmet food and its all buffet style. If you don't feel like eating at the dining halls you can eat at some of the fast places offered at UNC. With your meal plan you get dining dollars. Each student gets $50 dining dollars. The dining dollars can be used at the fast food places or vending machines. Each residence hall has WiFi access which is free and so do the academic buildings. UNC also has a great workout facility that has an indoor track, swimming pool, weightlifting area, rock climbing wall, tennis and basketball courts. The best part about it is, it's free for students to use whenever they want. Those are some of the main perks for being a UNC student.
    Tips for prospective students

    As a college freshman I would advise prospective UNC students to keep your grades up in High School. Grades as well as extracurricular activities will get you into UNC. Stay out of trouble as well, enjoy your senior year of high school, but do not get into trouble because you do not want to miss out on a great college experience especially at UNC. The last thing to let you know is apply for financial aid. Get as much as you possibly can even if they are loans. Do not let money keep you from attending UNC. If you have financial aid questions the UNC Financial Aid office will help you. UNC Also gives out grants and scholarships to incoming freshmen. They have a Universal scholarship application that you can fill out in January once you create an Ursa account. Again to get those scholarships and grants you need the grades and extracurricular activities. YOU REALLY NEED TO FILL OUT A FASFA FORM AS WELL!!!
    Great for these types of students

    UNC is a great place for students with all kinds of interests. No matter what major you want to pursue UNC may have what you are looking for. Your personality and beliefs do not matter at all. UNC is a very diverse community that is full of new friends and experiences. So no matter what type of major or student you are,UNC can become the school for you.

Moreover, Fort Collins and Loveland are very nearby so if you need to leave the small town, you can. I love love love the campus. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. I love the feeling of community at UNC and am so extremely happy I ended up here.
    Bang for the buck

    It is hard to ever be satisfied with paying tons of money for school (so make sure you have lots of scholarship money!) but UNC is one of the cheaper Universities in Colorado. I think a lot of people try to say that UNC is not as good of a school as other Colorado universities because of the price, but there are many programs in which UNC is highly merited for. I have also found that my instructors are incredibly qualified and that I am learning a lot. If the education was shady, I would not return next semester... but I am :)
    Tips for prospective students

    Visit the campus, talk to students-- you can talk to me if you need to-- try to see that this really is a great school. I have not come across any major issues that frustrated me with the school. Look at some of the programs offered and opportunities for student positions. UNC was nowhere near my first choice for school and I was not extremely happy about having to attend, but I fell in love with it after about a month. I'm sure you will love it too! :)

    I must admit to you when I was looking for colleges to attend, UNC wasn't my first choice. However, the only thing that stopped me from looking into it was the fact that it was too close to home. Turns out, you can't have a college too close to home! UNC has one of the best campus atmospheres! Everyone here is super friendly from the janitors to the UNC President, and everyone in between! You are bound to get a smile and a hello from anyone you pass in the hall or on the sidewalk! The class sizes are awesome, not too small but not too overwhelmingly huge. The teachers are all very friendly and really care about your success as a student. There is always something fun going on around campus. You have free group fitness classes, open mic night Mondays, free movie on the hill on Sundays, bingo on Wednesdays, and the list just goes on! I have yet to experience a dull moment at UNC and I have been here going on 3 three years now! Some more excellent highlights include; indoor track in our student rec center, 4 story library, great dinning hall food, and a disc golf course that goes right through campus! I recommend that you at the VERY LEAST come and VISIT! UNC is a MUST SEE! Also a must attend, if i might add! =]

Its the college experience as a whole that you are paying for. In my opinion, you can not put a price on what you take away from this school. Besides, it happens to be on the cheaper side than that of most Division 1 schools!
    Tips for prospective students

    Do not be afraid to experience all of the fun new things that happen around campus! Don't be afraid to join a club or walk up to the table set up in the middle of the hall! It is okay to ask questions and meet new people!

    Visits would suggest that the instructors are definitely into helping one succeed. Previous comments would also indicate that one only has to try to be successful so I give it high marks before I start a class.
    Will enjoy being here

    I am looking forward to this coming fall. The campus is the perfect size and seems like there is a bit of everything for anyone who is searching. The campus tour guides are enthusiastic but not Stepford Wife scary. They actually shared a lot of info and made me feel like this is a good decision.
    Bang for the buck

    Coming from Utah and the tuition is not that far off from local schools and there is so much more diversity here.
    Tips for prospective students

    Definitely visit. More than once if possible. Be open to taking in new things and you might surprise yourself how well things open up for you in turn.

    I really enjoy the classes here at UNC. The professors are very helpful and they make sure that the students are getting the most out of their classes. There is also a variety of classes, ranging from music classes like Concert Band to different choir classes, and multiple science, English, and math courses.

    The campus at UNC is very friendly and the dorms gave me a great learning experience. The campus is very diverse and there are many clubs and groups to get involved in.
    Bang for the buck

    Although college is expensive, UNC offers many scholarships and financial aid opportunities. All the money is worth it in the end, when you reach that goal of getting a degree and continuing down your personal career path.
    Tips for prospective students

    Take a tour of the campus and really investigate about where you want to live for your first year. Living in the dorms gives you a great opportunity to meet people and then join clubs and groups.
    Look at the UNC website to get more information on the many groups and clubs.
    Also, UNC has a great Tutoring center. Here you can receive help for different courses you might be struggling in.

    I had no idea I could cram so much information into my head. I find myself doing everyday activities and understanding so much more about them that I did before. I am constantly learning new things and realizing how wonderful this campus really is.
    Will enjoy being here

    The campus is beautiful. Being on summer break, I miss walking along the sidewalks under the gorgeous trees. I also miss gazing at the detailed architecture of the dorms and lecture halls. I love the small class size and the professors seemed so determined to have every student succeed, no matter how big the class is. UNC also offers great tutoring services which includes one on one or supplemental instruction (group).

    Bang for the buck

    Bang for the buck Very much so. UNC offers so many opportunities to help students succeed. Such as free tutoring, job fairs, scholarship fairs, a variety of clubs, an abundance of sororities and fraternities and support groups. The library is beautiful. Each level has a different noise level so you can be social while you study or you can study alone.

    Tips for prospective students

    Get your information and application done as soon as possible. Go on a few tours...the staff are amazing and very welcoming! It is the place to be(=

    This campus is fit for a wide variety of people. UNC is the place to be!!

    I am actually learning a lot more and understanding concepts here at UNC better than I did in high school.
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is not very big but its not too small either. So there are a lot of mutual friendships and connections made. I personally stay in a smaller dorm on central campus and everyone in the dorm gets along so its like a big family. In all the campus in general is like a home away from home.
    Bang for the buck

    I definitely think that it is worth the money. So if you have the opportunity to come to the school, you should take it. There are plenty of events to always attend that are really interesting and appealing to any crowd.
    Tips for prospective students

    My tip to incoming freshmen is be prepared to ten times harder or more than your work ethic in high school.
    Great for these types of students

    I believe that this school is great for students who don't want to be to far from home or for students who like to form strong bonds with other students.

    UNC is an excellent school when it comes to education. The class room sizes are small so you get plenty of one on one time with your professors. You also get the opportunity to get to know the rest of your classmates and form study groups. I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every class I had and feel that I connected well with all of my professors; I still communicate with some!
    Am enjoying being here

    UNC has presented me with so many opportunities. Because of my school I now have a job, am involved on multiple areas of the campus, and have made countless connections. The campus is beautiful and there are plenty of things for students to do around campus and in the community.
    Bang for the buck

    I feel that the tuition prices are not bad at all. The housing/dining is a little pricey but hey the dorms are great and the food is delicious so I can't complain too much! I also feel that the financial aid department is really helpful and they do whatever they can to make sure students get scholarships and grants that they deserve!
    Tips for prospective students

    GET INVOLVED!!!!!! I can not stress that enough. If you get involved on campus then you will meet so many people and enrich your education on so many levels. I owe everything to the different clubs and organizations I am involved in. Through these things I was able to make a lot of friends, make connections with faculty and alumni around campus, have fun, and better my college experience.

    Dedicated, enthusiastic, and ready for the best four years of your life!
