Beautiful. And it will never loose that. It is an amazing place to live. It also seems very big, but you will quickly learn how to get around on bike or foot. It is also big in the sense of population. CU is home to thousands of students, which can seem frightening. But what it really is, is an opportunity to meet tons of diverse people! Get involved! Even joining one club will introduce you to tons of interested people and lasting friendships.

When driving in on the main highway into Boulder, the view is spectacular. To your left you see the massive Flat Irons which give way to the Rocky Mountains. To your right you can see the overall outline of the University. Driving into the campus, the buildings are so beautiful. All the buildings are made with the same materials so there is a sense of cohesiveness. As you walk through the campus, you see students walking from one class to next while studying, talking on the phone, or mingling with friends. On all the grassy areas on campus you can see students studying with classmates, playing with their dogs, playing ultimate frisbee, or just taking a nap between classes. the CU Boulder environment is very relaxed and laid back. Everyone is happy and going about their daily routines. With over 600 acres of land, CU is a massive campus. Even though this is a lot of land, there are tons of buildings as well as beautiful scenic areas. From sitting on a bench under the oldest tree on campus, to studying in the quiet the Norlin Library, anyone can find a perfect place on campus.

The brick buildings are true to original buildings and some even look like castles! The Flatirons and mountains complete a scenic and gorgeous view and there's still plenty of city to have fun in

Our college campus is probably one of the top schools to look at in the country. We have beautiful architectural work surrounded by a backdrop of the Flatiron mountains. When I first saw the campus I was amazed by how big it was and in awe of how well kept it was for the years that it has been around. Many people would probably imagine the school to be smaller for the location it is in the town. However, the size and beauty of the school is what draws in a lot of incoming students and is in a great location for wherever you live.

We're nestled between the gorgeous flatirons and the charming medium sized town feel that is Boulder. Seasons are all gorgeous. The architecture is really pretty as well, with all tan brick buildings. If you haven't seen Boulder, you're missing out.

The scenery in Boulder is breath-taking. There isn't a view that doesn't make you appreciate how lucky you are to be at CU.

If you are interested in anything outdoors, CU-Boulder is the school for you. The proximity to some of the best hiking, biking and climbing in the country are within minutes of the campus, and there are countless clubs (both affliated with CU-Boulder and non-affliated) that cater to active and athletic college students. Some of my greatest friends were made when I participated in outdoor activities, and it certainly was a healthier option than attending frat parties and the "Hill" for drinking.

CU is a strong school, creating well rounded students and lifelong friendships.
