Q: In what part of town is Denver University located?
I am looking into a graduate program at Denver University. Is it located in southeast Denver? Also what neighborhoods are near the campus that would be safe and relatively affordable?

A: DU is south-central. The campus is immediately south of I-25 on University. There is a light rail station on the north end of campus. You will be able to find affordable housing nearby, especially a little east. Check out craigslist or apartment hunting sites for prices. On your orientation visit ask around. There are no real bad neighborhoods or communities in the Denver metro area. You will love DU and the Denver area. Be sure to check out the Pioneers hockey games, they are a blast.

Q: Somebody from Johnson and Wales university in Denver?
Hi , im can decide where to go for school, i want a hospitality degree, i will love to go to a private but not really expensive school. And i play Basketball so it will be awesome if i can make the team. i have been looking for schools in the internet for the past few days, JWU really caught my eye.Can somebody tell me more about the school? is it good?? i want real testimonies!

A: I went to school at JWU Denver and I really liked the small class sizes. Since the classes are small you really get to know the professors. Not to mention I hear they are doing some consturction to better the gym and wild cat center so you may be going in at a time where they are getting bigger and better. The teachers at JWU really want to help the students and are able to spend more one on one time not to mention the office hours are kinda good. Some times I would just walk in with out making an appointment and I got help if I needed anything. Same thing with the academic center tutors. So you get the benefits of college life with the sense of a small family. I know the Hospitality Sports Entertainment students became a small family, the same with the hotel students :) Also the JWU team could use the help on the basketball team so if your good I am sure they will be more then happy to get you on the team. Only bad thing is the cafeteria but hey if u get a dorm with a kitchen you are set. I recommend Trianglo dorms :D Hope this helps and good luck :) JWU-Denver 2006 :)

Q: University of colorado at Boulder and University of colorado at denver?
Do they have separate sport teams or are they the same?

A: CU Denver doesn't have extra mural sports, only CU Boulder has a high profile sports program. CU Denver is a mostly commuter school with focus on academics. I'm pretty sure CU Denver students are allowed to attend CU games at student prices.

Q: University of colorado denver vs. University of colorado boulder?
what is the difference between these schools? sports? academics? i want to become a doctor eventually

A: They are the part of the same university, the University of Colorado. There are three campuses: Boulder (UCB), Denver (UCD), and Colorado Springs (UCCS). UCB is the biggest, and has the most sports offered, and the most sports in Division I. It also has many options for a pre-med major. UCB offers a special program that guarantees entrance into UCD's medical school. But you can also pursue a pre-med major at UCD or UCCS, and attend UCD's medical school. You should visit their websites and look into the majors offered, and you should visit the campuses to see which you like. This kind of sums it up: https://www.cu.edu/content/campuses

Q: Impressions of the PhD Creative Writing Program (poetry) at the University of Denver?


A: Ivy league schools are for contacts for help in the future and name professors, hopefully that really know what they are talking about and can teach it. The real secret is in the information now coming out about the role of intuition and emotional intelligence in all genius and the greats in every field throughout history. Seems genius in a mindset, level of consciousness. There's info under my favorites and this video. Either we break out of our mindset into higher consciousness or a lower one. Good for husbands too. lol

Q: Which is a better school: the University of Denver or the University of Iowa?


A: In terms of college ranking, Denver's #85 and Iowa's #64 out of all U.S. universities. Iowa's also a public university so it's cheaper (if you're in-state) and better.

Q: Financial help in PhD program at University of Denver?
I am looking into two programs at the University of Denver's graduate programs...either a phd for counseling psychology or psyd for clinical psychology. I was wondering if anyone out there has been a part of these or any other doctorate program at DU and can you tell me what kind of financial assistance you have? Do you have a fellowship or work for the university? I am trying to get an idea of what kind of apartment I could afford while in school since it will be my only source of income. I'd really appreciate any help from DU grad students or alumni! Thanks!!!

A: I havent been in those programs, but I will venture a guess that there will be few fellowships at UoD. You might be able to pick up some adjunct teaching at a local for-profit or CC......

Q: Who is going to the University of Denver to protest the corporate lockdown on the Presidential debates?
Next Wednesday, Denver is going to be rockin. Thousands will be gathered at the University of Denver Magness Arena to protest the corporate lockdown on the Presidential debates. Sean Penn, Val Kilmer, Cindy Sheehan, Tom Morello, Jello Biafra and others will join Ralph Nader and Matt Gonzalez. Demanding an end to the corporate control over the Presidential debates. Watch it online: http://goto.votenader.org/t?r=1795&c=1412287&l=48989&ctl=1DD3501:6BD97C231DFDDC2D7118A73350E6D568A34B7D50FA2BAE0C&

A: It'll probably get minimal media attention and they are prepared to arrest and jail a huge number of people. It sucks, but apparently free speech is more for the wealthy than the poor.

Q: How hard is it to be accepted into University of Denver graduate school?
I am applying to three University of Denver graduate programs: Counseling psych PhD, Clinical psych PsyD, and counseling MA/MS. I still have a semester left before I finish my BA, but right now my gpa is 3.14 and my major gpa is 3.6. I have a couple extracurriculars (including President of Psi Chi) and will have completed an independent study (research experience) and an internship before I graduate. Does anyone who goes to DU have any idea what kind of a shot I have of getting in? 10 points to the most informative answer!!!

A: In graduate school the only extracurriculars that carry extensive weight are internships and employment. Your GPA is pretty low, but if your GREs, graduate essay and letters or recommendation are impressive you should have a shot. With your GPA, it might be better to work a couple of years with a non profit which serves the population you wish to work with as a counselor or do an AmeriCorp VISTA year (or both) and to give your application more gravitas.

Q: Where do you recommend I live in Denver?
There's a good chance that I will be going to the University of Denver law school this fall. I am a single female and am wondering where you think I should live. I want to be as close to the school as is possible, yet still be safe. Oh, and I have never been to Denver, so your opinions on the city in general would be helpful as well. Thanks!

A: Denver is amazing you'll love it. DU is on University Avenue. It's actually surrounded by residential areas, so you shouldn't have a problem finding a place to live. Downtown and Aurora are too far from where you want to look though, if you want to stay close to the school. Look for something in this area. Good luck! http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formtype=address&addtohistory=&address=%5b3061%2d3075%5d%20S%20University%20Blvd&city=Englewood&state=CO&zipcode=80113&country=US&location=iUkfQl4PQqVLcTvkJtq9KVI1cQ%2fye%2beCdYzx4FGVDaiIH2MpKSA7%2faZoj6LfzKWl5dvH3yQG989CLJgeV5fXdFQHID4ATzOm101hpQnV6a66hXjp%2bD3a%2fmFuRqNkZ%2fibvxk0dl04Ep%2fSnl1AKLf0a9hfNwGHvAl3Cm4QsjAR2A4%3d&ambiguity=1#north

Q: How do I get a Newspaper from Denver, Colorado 1957?
My husband played football for the University of Denver 1957 game against Air Force Academy. I would like to get the newspaper and also the film of that game.

A: Public records or Library?

Q: What do you think about Regis University?
I plan on going onto medical school, but as a undergrad I plan on studying Biochemistry or Chemistry. I'm thinking about either going to the University of Denver or Regis University both are private but Regis has a much smaller student body which I think will help me learn more as the teaching will be more personalized (average class size is about 20). I've also considered University of Colorado @ Boulder just because it's in-state so the tuition would be significantly less, but it would be the complete opposite as some of CU's classes have well over 500 students and i know that the average is well over 60 students per class. So my question is: which University sounds like it will give me the most options upon graduation (ie: medical school, research assistant, Grad School , working for a good lab). I don't want to sacrifice value for price, but If it doesn't make a difference than I don't want to get loans that i didn't need to get? Any comments/opinions about the following will be greatly appreciated: a)attending private Universites versus public, b) about specifically those schools mentioned above, c) does a "liberal arts" education help you in the long run- both D.U. and Regis teach in a "liberal arts" style and d) do smaller classes truely help you learn more? You don't have to answer all of them, ANYTHING will help. Thanks once again.

A: Since med school applications are so competitive, you must go to the school where you think that you, personally, will do best. You're going to need good grades and some applicable work/internship/co-op experience behind you, and if you feel that you may flounder at a large school, then don't go. Even if that large school is better known or has a better reputation, don't go. With that said, the only concern I have about Regis is that it's getting a name for itself in the online degree field, which isn't necessarily a good thing. But its on campus programs seem decent, and it ranks fine in most of the rankings of schools that I've seen. University of Denver is more competitive in terms of admissions, and my impression is that it's academic programs are stronger than those of Regis. But in reality, both seem decent schools - not the best, not the most rigorous, but decent. With that said, U Denver seems to have more of a business focus, while Regis seems a bit more liberal arts. And call each one - which one offers a pre-med program? While not being part of a pre-med program won't necessarily hurt your chances of med school admissions, it can help offer guidance. Also, talk to each school about their percentage of students who apply to med school and get accepted - that can be telling. U Colorado, Boulder does rank higher on the US News rankings (Linked, below), but not so much higher that, if U Denver is a better fit, I'd have you go to U Colorado instead. In terms of rankings, I'd place them as follows: U Colorado Boulder U Denver Regis With each one being plus or minus ten places of each other, maybe. Things being roughly equal, you should pick the one that you feel is a better fit.

Q: Which university? University of Denver or Butler University?
I have been accepted to both, though I am not sure which one to choose. Help, please. Note- I have been offered scholarship for Butler University For Political science

A: I graduated from DU and I suggest going there. I know a friend who went to Butler and didn't like it. However, I don't know that much about Butler, so I can't compare and contrast. In my opinion, Denver is more fun of a city than Indianaoplis. Also, Denver is close to the mountains enabling the pursuit of outdoor sports easy. Additionally, DU has a great reputation in Colorado. Therefore, it gives you advantages among your competition if you plan on applying for jobs in CO after you graduate. The biggest drawback to DU is that many of the students come from extremely rich families and some have a distorted view of reality. However, there are plenty of down to earth students there as well, and I've made many lifelong friends during my time at DU. Feel free to e-mail me or add details with any specific questions about DU you have.

Q: MLS from The University of Denver or Emporia State (even the extension)?
Masters in Library Science--I am looking into this degree in the Denver area and would appreciate any feedback regarding programs and schools (not just website info., but personal experience). Thank you!

A: I went to DU and enjoyed my time at the school; academically, DU is beginning to gain respect in a lot of their programs due to an increase in electronics and study resources. Being that they are a private school, I experienced smaller classrooms and more of a personal experience with the professors. I recommend going to DU if the program you are looking into is a good fit at the university.

Q: Which are the best universities in or near Denver, Colorado?
I'd like to attend a university in or near Denver. Which are the best universities to study architecture or astronomy?

A: Metro State University is right in the heart of Downtown, on that same campus is: CU-Denver, Community College of Denver. It's on the Auraria Campus. Other good ones are University of Denver (DU), great school, but expensive (it's private). It's a good school for Law, but also business. Regis University is a Catholic-based university, also private and expensive. For Architecture, you might want to look into going to CU-Boulder, they have a school for it, and the CU Boulder campus is gorgeous and about 30 minutes from Downtown Denver. I don't know of a good school in Colo that offers an Astronomy program, maybe Univ of Northern Colorado, which is located in Greely (not the best part of Colorado, it's mostly farm country). Good luck!
