  I can already tell that the advising department is a complete joke and I haven't even started school here yet. My advisor seems like she does not want to help me at all. I'm pretty much left to figure everything out on my own. Don't call them "advisors" if they aren't doing that: advising.

  This school treats ex-students and alumni like trash. I graduated from CSU in 2009 and I still have access to my student portal and unofficial transcripts. I completed my degree at MSU in 2016 and their policy is to shut down students' accounts after a year and do not offer unofficial transcripts to students. Because of this even if students just need an unofficial transcript they can force them to pay for unofficial transcripts. They milk students for every penny they can and have policies that hurt students. Go to a different school if you are looking.

  I just graduated from Metro. The class sizes are small and intimate. I went to School at CU Boulder and felt immense anxiety walking into classrooms with 300 students or more. My professors new my name. And would often say hi in the hall. They were very responsive to my emails and were incredibly helpful. I learned a lot. Not to mention I received scholarships and they are starting to add more Masters programs.

  They do not care about students! In 2012, I was just 1 of 160 students over-awarded student loan funds. The Bursar's office then sent a letter to me wanting ALL or HALF of the $5000+ money that I had accepted. Of course, I didn't HAVE that money, and I was in the midst of the employment crisis. I called them crying asking how this could've happened. They admitted and even documented in my account that this happened. I had even planned to stop taking student loan funds, but too late... So, I was placed into collections with the State of Colorado and placed on a payment plan with what I could reasonably afford at the time while I worked my job for $13/hr. At first, the State accused me of being unresponsive to their requests. Nope, wrong. I was indeed responsive and even knew my representative's name. So I entered into a payment plan, which I've paid on since then, have NEVER been late. If I'm ever late, the agreement is that everything comes due at that time. Fast forward to 2018, where I'm looking at returning to school to finish all of the schooling off (have to look for scholarships/grants). Metro refuses to release my official transcripts because they say I have an account balance. I've spoken directly to a supervisor of the Bursar's office and they read the contents of my account where it documented the mistaken over-award. I was still told that it doesn't matter that I'm current with the state, my account with Metro is technically in default, so until I pay the remaining $3300, they won't release my official transcripts. This is such an injustice and it's not my fault. I am paying because I accepted the funds, but now my transcripts are being held hostage. I have no idea what to do. I don't have $3300 laying around or I'd have paid it! So frustrated!

  If you are looking into moving to Colorado like most of the US right now, do NOT come to this university. There are much better colleges in this state that are a better bang for you buck. This college is growing too fast for its own good and the students are the ones who must take the blow. I am at senior level now and have been lied to by more than one advisor in regards to which classes I need to be taking in order to graduate. I have spoken with the chair of the accounting department to have my situation corrected and the best excuse that he can come up with is that he can't bend the rules for any student. Mind you that all I have done was listen to the accounting advising department to have them schedule my classes. YOU CANNOT TRUST ANY ADVISOR IN THIS INSTITUTION! So instead of being able to graduate in the spring, I will have to push out my graduation a year. It's like I'm being punished for listening to the advising department when its their job to help students stay on track to graduate. I usually don't write reviews but I had to speak out on behalf of how I was treated. If you plan on going here, you must ask at least three people before you make any decision. They can't even hold their staff accountable for their actions and the student must pay the price for their mistakes. Very sad situation but I'm not the only that this has happened to. Thanks for reading.
