It's in downtown Denver, co-shares campus facilities with University of Colorado at Denver. What's your son being recruited for? My sister played soccer for them for 2 years and they've had a very good Mens' basketball team. I'd say give Metro a look - it's a good school in a great city.

Used to coach basketball at mscd. Won a championship,iirc.

Amazing. 12 years ago, not even i thiught he would be a nba coach

i will stay in the hotel and let him do.

he has really good grades and other stuff, so maybe academic also, but at those prices, not as desperate for scholarships.

this is really good to hear.

I'm sure if he attended here you'd enjoy visiting - Denver's a pretty cool place.

Used to be called metropolitan state college of denver. Good school.

I lived near downtown Denver and Metro State for 21 years and have lived in Boulder for 17 years. Colorado is a great place to live and study. Metro has a fine reputation and I have known many people who received their undergraduate and graduate degrees there and are doing well at their jobs, such as social workers. Good diversity and support for low income, minority, and international students. But I know little about athletics.
The school was set up for urban and commuting serious students, most of them living off campus and working at the same time. It does not have the "fun and party" rep of CU or the cost of Univ of Denver (which I think are good things) Also not the rep for outstanding programs in science etc and national grants as CU and CSU at Ft. Collins have and some good scholarships, but out of state tuition is high. Colorado College is an outstanding small private liberal arts college in Colorado Springs but very expensive.
Many Metro students probably don't have time or money for all the great things to do in CO like skiing, but there's no place like CO for enjoying the outdoors and good liberal instructors at the same time (except maybe CA)!

She thinks highly of it.

She also has a degree from Enormous State University in another state, one with a top reputation in her field, and she preferred Metro.

by the way.

Metro State is a solid school.

but I can hardly blame the school for his problems. I know some people who have gone there and they all seem happy with it and came out educated.

oooh baby, i can afford that university. lol.

but, new orleans?

now he is looking at colorado mesa also.

metro wont give him in state. much higher out of state. only a couple thousand a year.
