Colorado College Top Questions

CC is awesome. Go there. :-D

CC is so much fun. Everyone is happy, welcoming, and always willing to have a great time.

CC, I will never forgive you.

Colorado College isn't for everyone. It takes a certain type of person to enjoy the block plan and the work hard-play hard attitude that prevails here. For those who fit with it, however, there's no better place to be.

I hate colorado springs, but CC has been a perfect match for me. People work a lot harder and show a lot more responsibility than I would expect at college, but theres a crowd for everyone. Everyone gets out of class at noon, meaning that there is a huge amount of free time spent just hanging out.

CC's great. It has its issues and lots of people don't like Dicky C (our president), but I'm proud to go to school here. Sometimes you get kids that wanted to go to Stanford but didn't get in so they are here as a second choice, but it's a great school. Colorado is a beautiful place to be and I would recommend anyone go to school here. I love going to a small school because I probably 80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of my graduating class by name. That's special and the small class sizes truly help you engage the topic. I missed class last week and my professor e-mailed me making sure I was ok. That's not going to happen at a big school. It's a unique school with unique students.

This is a good place to connect with professors you really like and forget about ones who didn't mean as much to you. It's a small place and people are close but you don't see a variety of people every day.

Think about what you will want to major in and how that might work on the block plan. Geology works great. Projects that require long term follow through are hard since a block ends after three and a half weeks. Languages are hard, for example. They are trying to make the College a 4 year residential college, so you have to live on campus all 4 years. That would suck. Now you can live off Campus senior year. Residential Life here is poor, they are very uptight and finicky about stupid details and love fining people. Plus, living on campus is way more expensive and it just keeps people from growing up. Res Life claims that it's for the pedagogical experience of living in a dorm, but trying to rent a house off campus is a much better learning experience in my opinion.

Nope

Honestly there are a lot of things I don't like about CC and I've mentioned most of them above but it really is a great school and I couldn't have picked a better place to spend my 4 years.
