I moved to Colorado Springs for a job working as a waiter and rent and bills has been really hard because Springs is expensive. I want a change in my life and have been giving a lot of thought about going for my original passion which is to become a dentist.

I did my research and found out that the CU Anschutz Medical Campus has a 3.8% admission rate for their DMD program. They also require 50 mandatory hours of dental shadowing otherwise the application is not reviewed or considered complete. In addition, they require 3 letters of recommendation, where 2 must come from science professors and the last must be a professional letter ideally from an employer.

For now since money is really a concern for me, I have to keep this job but I wanted to know if I can take evening pre-med/pre-dental courses.

I recently got an Insignia TV and I’m in Village at Alpine. Is there a way to connect to WiFi here? Being that we have to log in when you do it on your phone/laptop. Plz someone help.

So I was on my way back from class when a guy standing by the Osborne lawn next to one of those familiar tables with the black cloth advertising student jobs handed me this card. He said it's "super part-time" "flexible" and what not. I asked what kind of work this is and he just said it's "customer sales and service." Going off his vague language and what's on the card it seemed slightly sus, but I am a poor student with some experience in retail and customer service so I decided to check it out. To put it simply, after doing some brief research I can confidently say that this company is a pyramid scheme. I know most seeing this company will wisely not bother, but there will be some that don't and I just thought I would clear this chasm of ignorance. you can search on r/antiMLM to see.

As the title suggests, is a teaching degree worth it? I had my advising meeting and I would have to be a full time student till I graduate and there is so many classes. Too many I already feel so burnt out of school and then there are those exams at the end that cost a sh*t ton. Is it really this hard to become a teacher? Is all this stress and time worth it for this degree?

How much is the accelerated BSN program (without aid)? Trying to compare with PPSC?

What score should I get for the TEAS?

Does anyone know if Big cat cafe on campus is hiring at the moment?

Currently at another university and just looking to take a class here as it fits schedule better. Anyone have experience with Professor Samer Iskander?

Hello! I am an incoming freshman, and I am to arrive by monday. How long does UCCS typically take to assign rooms? Thank you!

I don’t know what to do the fasfa only awarded me 9,400 for the ENTIRE year that’s including a subsidized loan I believe I have to withdrawal and not attend the school since i have no way of even paying for my first semester here as a transfer student which costs 9,690.46. My fall grant would only cover 6,200 of the bill does anyone know what I should do?

So I forgot to buy a pass and now none of the passes for the main campus are available. I’m on a waitlist but idk. I commute from Monument every day so I need to drive, and I have to be at school at 6am some days, which is an hour before the shuttle starts running… so the free lots aren’t really an option.

I have been parking without a pass every day and haven’t gotten a ticket so far but im not counting on my luck lasting. What the hell do I do 😭

Why is the parking so congested and terrible this semester? I was a doofus and didn’t think they would simply run out of central campus parking at a commuter school.

Everywhere I look parking spots are filled with even more cars circling the lots hoping to snag someone pulling out.

Not to mention the bus systems being absolutely abysmal and inconsistent.

I got to campus an entire hour before my class and was still 10 minutes late. Guess I’ll have to get here even earlier??

Are more people attending college suddenly?? Does anyone live on campus?

So we just moved here and I'm doing everything on my own. I'm working one job as a cna and going into the rn program. What's it like? My husband and I are military and I'm taking a break from picking up stupid amounts of hours. I'm only working 3 days a week which is amazing compared to working 46-60hrs a week with no breaks. What's the class load like. Also I have 120 credits from getting my associates in Kansas which has the very basis for education, psychology. I was trying to do a dual major for 5 years with 4 of them me working part time as a paraprofessional working with special needs kids ages 3-18.

I have noticed that from around 9 to 11:30 the internet is terrible. Will the bandwidth increase next week or will it be like this year round?

Anyone want this textbook? Still has online code too. Can just give to u on campus when classes start.

Im new to uccs as I’m a transfer student from out of state and I know it’s only my first day here but I’d love to make friends and get to know people around here everyone seems super cool! I’m really nervous and have no idea how to make connections by just coming up to someone. Does anyone have any tips for making friends here or places to hangout?

Hi everyone!

Current resident of Colorado Springs who attends and online bachelors program for my degree in psychology. I’m really looking into UCCS Masters program for clinical mental health counseling.

I’m looking for information for anyone who’s got in and done the program. What was your admissions like? Was it difficult? I’ve already received information about things like their group interview day, and that part seems the scariest. I would love to hear about someone’s personal experience with it and how it went.

Just looking to see if anyone has taken this class, and if anyone knows if ArcGIS/Esri is accessible on the computers in the computer lab? I have a Mac and the software isn’t compatible with iOS.

I am planning on applying to the accelerated BSN program at UCCS. Any advice?

Hi, I'm planning to apply for my MS in Computer Science program at the University of Colorado. I wanted to know how much the university faculties, tuition, or the curriculum differ in Denver campus and the Colorado Springs campus?

If anyone is looking for housing I am looking for a roommate. My current roommate and I have a lease through next June in an apartment about 10 min from campus. There’s a pool and fitness center and I can say I like living here. She needs to go work through some health issues and I’m looking for someone to take her place. I’m pet friendly but I do have a dog. You’d get master bedroom with attached private bathroom and your half would be $830. Im a 25 year old female so looking for another female ideally.

I’m looking for a 1 bed or studio apartment that is furnished. I have a price range of $1200-1600 per month not including utilities. I have a decent sized budget. I know that it is pretty late but I just got security clearance and am able to start my DoD job. Learned last week they wanted me to start on August 5th but that is being pushed back due to me not being able to find a furnished place and being from Texas. I’m trying to move ASAP. I hope someone can help me out. I prefer to live by myself and I also have a cat. Any recommendations help. Thank you! It doesn’t need to be close to campus but I can’t seem to find any furnished apartments away so I thought I would try now.

What is the credit for attending all the kickoff events? Is it worth it? I'm in my mid 20's, I'm commuter, and I'd have to take off work for some of these.

Howdy! I’ve had some issues acquiring scholarships as a transfer student, I was able to get the peak scholarship - but honestly, that barely covers anything.

I’ve noticed many of the UCCS scholarships on the general application are only for Colorado residents (which I am not)

This leads to my question; does anyone have a recommendation for scholarships centered towards transfers? Or that I could qualify for?

For reference, this will be my second semester at UCCS - I have a 4.0 GPA and I’m active in 2 clubs on campus!

Will I be notified when my books are ready to pick up through TAAP? Can i pick them up before the first day of class?

Has anyone applied for more financial aid through a special circumstances appeals form before? I’m just wondering if u had success and how long it took to hear back? They told me 2-3 weeks but UCCS has been rly speedy about everything else I’ve had to wait for so I was wondering if anyone heard back sooner than this. I’m just anxious lol.

Hey everyone!

I'm an international student (Indian) coming to UCCS this fall, and I'll be living in the Alpine Apartments. I'm super excited but also a bit nervous, and I'd love to hear from anyone who’s been through this before.

What’s life like in the Alpine Apartments? Any tips for adjusting to life in Colorado Springs, especially as an international student? Are there any must-attend campus events or activities?

Also, I’m trying to figure out what to bring. What are the must-have items for apartment living? Any specific things you found really useful? And on the flip side, any items you brought but never used?

Lastly, is there anything that’s already provided or just unnecessary for the apartments? Any rules or restrictions on what we can bring?

Thanks so much for any advice you can share! Looking forward to meeting new people and making the most of my time at UCCS.
