Adams State University - Alamosa, Colorado

I don't like the fact that the Adams State University campus police are pulling over people in Monte Vista using the false State of authority they hold. Yet the flag is shredded and hasn't been lowered in a year.... Jurisdiction is correct mind your manners

We live in family housing.
If anyone thinks they take care of this place. They don’t. We moved into the apartment June of 2021 and experienced black mold forming. I clean daily and know it’s not us.
It looks like they either paint over the mold, or clean it with bleach then leave it. But it grows back nonetheless. We have called countless times about mold exposure and all they say is “use bleach and scrub it very well”. It does not work. Parents, don’t send your children here if you don’t want them getting sick or to experience mold exposure. They won’t help you. We will be going to the doctor and getting a mold toxicity test since we are experiencing mold like symptoms.

This institution needs to review it's policies and cut the red tape. There are many areas of improvement, and opportunity for innovation. I will only mention a few. This institution has a low graduation rate when compared to it's peers, it is probably because they don't help students succeed, and their policies in essence set a student up to fail rather than succeed; often giving students the runaround. Their staff is not knowledgeable and not professional. This could be addressed through professional development programs implemented at all levels of the institution. I wish I would have not wasted my time and money at this institution longer to graduate because of arbitrary administrative policies. There are better educational options for less money! Great improvements to the aesthetics and captures the San Luis Valley's natural beauty. This and a few professors are the only positive thing I can share about my experience. Cut the politics and focus on your students!

I actually like to just walk around the Rio Grande dyke. No the water is really nice and there’s always deer roaming around. Unfortunately I don’t think that Adams State University Lakes community members to walk on campus as I have been pulled over by the golf cart Campus security and they harassed me and my boyfriend who happened to be black but I’m not sure if they were racially profiling or what. Anybody else have experience walking across campus? Otherwise, they have a Zipline and a climbing wall you can go to as a community member for a small fee.

It's seems there is always something to complain about, however, this University is not one. Outstanding instructors and administrators that care about the student, not easy to find these days. Big beautiful campus on the west side of the Rockies with breathtaking views. Outstanding academic values and one of the best online Counseling programs.

When I withdrew from Counselor Education, graduate level, I had a 3.3 and the last few semesters my adjuncts were Adams own Phd Candidates. Both married, with children and their own counseling practices. Where did they make up for the time? Well, our courses were actually quite small for a grad program. One chapter of reading per week, about 700 words of posting max in discussion and either a 700 word paper and a five pager, or two 25 multiple choice tests. This is not a graduate level workload!!!! And the professors were hard to reach at times, because of their busy schedules.

And then when I left, all of my accounts were immediately closed! This means the complaint I wanted to file was impossible, I needed both access to my emails and the inner email on Bulletin Board. And eerily enough, I had already made one post on the Google Reviews that was not complimentary, with my Adams account. After they took back the account by installing a new password, my review disappeared!

I had transferred from my university in New Mexico called Eastern New Mexico University to start school in the fall of 2013 at Adams state University. I transferred to the university for the sake of Cross country and track and field. The training and program at adams state for track was fun, at the same time the academics were garbage and the professors at this college are way too damn liberal.. they single and hate you if you are a conservative Christian lol I am. One year of school at this college tuition wise was 25 thousand dollars. Plus I stayed off campus for the first semester and had to move on campus at the end of the first semester. It was so expensive, I could not take out a loan for a meal plan. My major at my college in New Mexico was broadcast Journalism in communications they did not have the required classes at this university for that. So I had to catch up academically to improve my grades in order to come back to Eastern New Mexico University in the fall of 2014. I would not recommend this University if you are wanting to have great academics and professors. Sports wise the atmosphere here is great and on top of that being a runner for track and cross country is great. Academically it sucks and I just hated Alamosa and Adams state. For those of you, who had a terrible experience at Adams state, come to Eastern New Mexico University in Portales. The tuition is cheap and there are a variety of academic scholarships including the wuie and military aid and various scholarships for veined a minority. Are professors are execellent and will help you out as best as they can. Right now I am a grad student working on my masters in communication at Eastern New Mexico University.
