Need some advices about college at Colorado

<p>This is the first time i accidently know about this forum which i think very interesting and helpful to me as well as everyone.</p>

<p>I am an international student who want to appy for college in USA.</p>

<p>I plan to study a computer science at the college in Colorado.</p>

<p>The reason that i choose Colorado coz my brother lives there(denver) so i think may have saved some money for accomendation and i choose college because of budget limitation.</p>

<p>However i have found one college in colorado which is Metropolitan State college of Denver but am not sure about that(my brother knews little about education in Colorado coz he is busy with his job)</p>

<p>So do u have any ideas about the above colloge or any others?"</p>

<p>I also heard that int' student who apply to the college instead of uni will got less chance to get F1 visa is that true?</p>

<p>I will appreciate with any ideas from the forum membes?</p>

<p>see Colorado State University, or Colorado College (the second is more competitive), they are ranked at the top 350 Universities in USA</p>

<p>Thank for quick reply, osmosis_iq, anyway i would like to ask whether you know that Colorado college is near denver or not coz it address it at colorado spring?</p>

<p>I am sorry to ask you coz u may know that my brother is there but he is busy and i meet him only at the weekend</p>

<p>Denver University?</p>

<p>Colorado College is in Colorado Springs. Metro sounds like a commuter school designed to serve Denver itself. Good luck. I can't answer anything else.</p>

<p>Thank for all reply. Anyway I cannot choose Denver Uni(i wish too) coz of budget. I also want to know what do you mean by commuter school ( am not really understand the edu system in US).</p>

<p>For colorado College is little bit expensive too compare to metro but cpeaper than Denver Uni.</p>

<p>now fee per 1 credit in this three school are:
Uni of denver: ~750usd
Colorado Coll: ~550usd They use another system which call block and am not really understand their system
Metro colleg: ~400usd</p>

<p>Colorado College and one other school use a nontraditional OCAAT , One Course At A Time, calendar/schedule. You take Chem and that's it. Class and labs all day. or English Lit-that's it.</p>

<p>And I'm a frugal parent . One suggestion I have for you-find the junior college that is closest to your Brother's house. Go there. Get acclimated. Know your way around. Take basic transferable courses. It will be much cheaper (I think, usually is anyway) and the JC Could be a good school. I'd check before I poured money into Metro State. If you do it this way , you might decide you want to be at Metro, or maybe U of Northern Colorado, or Colorado State, or Colorado School of Mines, or Western State, or Adams State.</p>

<p>What about "University of Colorado-Boulder" - nationally ranked within the top 350 colleges and not too far from Denver where you're looking at.</p>

<p>my brother just apply that Colorado college is far so i should aplly to metro.
curmudgeon thank for your great suggestion what i plan is that i study at thsi school to get bachelor and then if i have enoughe money i will take master at uni instead.
Is it a good idea</p>

<p>ok everyone i just to confirm that i also have an uncle at philadephia and he also offer a house for me to stay but if we talk about relationship my brother is closer and it make me felll easier than living with uncle.</p>

<p>So if talike about colleg at pennsylvania, do u have any idea about college ther i mean college coz i think is it cheaper and i have said i may continue master degree at uni insted so i may able to save some money.</p>

<p>Now i jsut look for one college call Pennsylvania College of Technology, do u have any idea about this college. i choose this one beacuse it is in Phila which the place that my uncle live.</p>

<p>thank</p>
