University of Colorado Boulder Top Questions

Boulder's student body is diverse. There are people from all sorts of backgrounds, and they all seem to get along fairly well. I personally have never seen any dispute involving a person's personal background. There are the very rich and the very poor going to school at CU, although most students have middle class backgrounds. I've noticed that most students are from California, Chicago, The East Coast, and Colorado. For the most part, most students at CU are liberal.

The diversity on campus is pretty poor. Any students that are not white will be a minority on campus. Most students wear jeans and sweatshirts to class. yes, different types of students interact. Most Boulder students are from Colorado, California, New Jersey. Most people at Boulder are very well off financially. Most students are very politically active and aware. most students are left. No, students do not talk about how much they'll earn one day.

not very diverse, but a comfortable, safe environment for everyone.

ALmost no student would feel out of place here because it is such a vast mix of races, ethnicities, and orientations. All kinds of people come to boulder to experience the outdoors and to learn. One campus group that I find way to pushy is the pro life group. They show intense pictures and try to rally support on campus during the school day. It makes me wish I didn't have to be on campus that day. Other than that most campus groups are pretty positive and non-aggressive. Walking through campus on a daily basis I see people wearing everything from jeans and t-shirts to blazers and khakis to tie-dye. Its quite a mixed group and odd looks often blend right in because there are quite a few of them. Most boulder students are from either colorado, california, or a northern east coast state. Most students from colorado are from middle class families and are working their way through college, while other students, especially those from out of state, are on their rich parents dime.

Lots of people everywhere. Mostly white. Hippies, preppies, athletes, book worms, all kinds. Incredibly active. Most people are in really good shape and love to go to the rec center, hike, go skiing, mountain biking, snowshoeing, rockclimbing, etc. The amount of Ugg boots and leggings can get really annoying. Some kids are super active with school political groups, volunteer groups, and environmental groups, while some choose to focus on the party life. A lot of people don't know what they want to do with their lives so there is a lot of searching for a meaning but that's true of any college campus. No one really talks about how much they will earn in terms of how great they are...it's mostly just "I hope I have enough money to ______" etc.

I feel like its not very diverse, only occasionally do i feel like there are several non white students, other than that i feel like the majority of the campus still consists of whites. MOst students wear either sweat pants and hoodys or jeans and hoodys, but there are always the group of girls who choose to wear dresses or something out of the ordinary to impress people. Most of the students that attend CU are from either Colorado or California.

Though statistically not very diverse, I have found Boulder to be one of the most interesting towns I've ever been to. Students are focused, but laid back, and seem to thoroughly enjoy all their time here. There's always someone to study with, someone to go to the gym with, someone to go hike with. Sitting outside in the fall with friends watching the trees change is one of my favorite things to do. The campus does not have high dress code standards, mostly just jeans and a sweatshirt on normal days, though there are some students who choose to dress up. Professors maintain a business casual attire, making them seem part of the flow. There are 45{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} out of state students, so there is always someone in the same position as you. There are a variety of political backgrounds and current beliefs, all which are celebrated on campus. Campus isn't cliquey, and no one cares if you are a freshman, or a graduate student. Your dorm mates become your first network on campus, and as you join activities that interest you, the campus becomes your small network. You never feel like a number. My favorite thing is walking anywhere on campus and seeing at least 5 people I know.

In Boulder you will get some Jesus freaks now and then on campus, telling you to submit to God and blah blah blah. Racial groups are seen less on campus because of the lack of diversity. The student body is mostly middle to upper class white kids. Most races interact, I've heard of a few race fueled problems but not many. Most students are from Colorado or California. Most students are politically aware. Most students are Left. Students don't really talk about future incomes specifically

I am very involved with Jewish life on campus. We have two campus Rabbi's and they are the most amazing people I've met. They know how college kids live and they "Fit in" There is always some Jewish event going on and you can choose between your interests, whether it be religious or secular, American or Israeli. There are around 15 different Jewish student groups and everyone is very close and inclusive.

while as a whole the population in boulder may not be very diverse. Sometimes I encounter great diversity in though and opinions. You can find your niche anywhere if you keep your eyes open.
