The classes are small and there is an intense focus on one subject at a time.

Besides the Block Plan and being far away from home, the social climate here is undescriable. It is always active. There is always something to do...may it be exploring mother nature or attending a lecture on mao and freudian thought . The options here are endless. The student body on paper as far as race and gender may not seem diverse, but when it comes to intelligence, beliefs, and doctrines CC is by far the most diverse place I've ever experienced.

We have the block plan where we take one class at a time for three and a half weeks. This is called a block. There are eight blocks per school year, and in between each block we have block breaks, in which students take advantage of the beautiful location and go skiing, hiking, camping, and other various outdoor activities.

The block plan. The number of students- its a very small school. The lack of diversity amongst students and faculty.

Colorado College is known for its small class size, unique block plan (one class at a time for 3 ? weeks), and the electric feeling of its liberal community. Since the majority of the student body enjoys various outdoor activities, we are conscious about our impact on the environment and are always trying to decrease our carbon footprint. The scenery around campus is beautiful ? watching the sun set behind Pikes Peak is gorgeous as well as walking around the rock formations at Garden of the Gods.

It is probably important for incoming students to know that there is a prevalent drug scene on the C.C. campus. If you don't do drugs, you will probably know people who do. The most prevalent drug on campus is marijuana followed by hallucinogenics, cocaine is present as well. And while it is likely that you will be exposed to drugs, as long as you are comfortable being in the presence of drugs, there is relatively low peer pressure to do them.

I love CC as you can probably tell from my answers. It has its fair share of problems just like any university, but I couldn't imagine having gone anywhere else.

going to cc is one of the best choices i've ever made. i learned a ton, met incredible people and we had/have a fantastic time together.

CC is such a tight community that you will always see at least two people you know when walking to and from class or anywhere else on campus
