University of Colorado Boulder Top Questions

Football games are a blast even if the team looses (they usually do), season pass is only $60 or so. University spends lots of time & $$$ on free on-campus events: film festivals, lectures, concerts. Parties are easy to find, expect Keystone Light in a can, a keg, or in cups on a beer pong table. Plenty of parties if you are not in a frat. The Fox theatre hosts big names for reasonable prices, only 1000 people, many shows are 18+.

As I said above, not really a whole lot to do in Boulder except play beer pong, smoke weed, watch sports, or ski. Also, since the school is very large and classes rarely have fewer than 35 students, it's pretty difficult to meet people. Extracurricular activities are not always well organized or publicized. Boulder is fine if you're really, really outgoing and don't mind spending most of your waking hours finessing your appearance, but if you're a generally nice person who isn't a total narcissist and can afford to go to a different school, I would suggest you do so.

Boulder is a FOOTBALL school for sure. Being soccer oriented it is sometimes frustrating the neglect of other athletics during football season. There is something always going on in Boulder, it could also be considered a city that never sleeps, bars are great on Pearl St., food is delivered till 4 in the morning including fresh baked cookies. There are great speakers, and there is really something for everyone. I met my closest friend in the dorms. I personally don't flock towards greek life. Off campus I usually go on bike rides or play with my dog.

There is lots of partying, but there are certain available groups for the academic, these groups are just difficult to find.

There is always something to do. Last semester my boyfriend lived right on the hill and we would be trying to sleep on a Monday night then all of a sudden at 2:30 the bar crowd would all move into the house and be loud and rowdy, which I loved dont get me wrong. I would say that I partyed a good five to six days a week and still managed to get close to all B's. I wouldn't recommed partying all the time if your not going to do your school work first though.

amazing, everything is amazing. Greek life can be fun, I am Greek here, and I've had a blast with it. Doors in dorms - leave them open when you're there. 4/20 is hilarious, be ready for a serious trip, hahahaha. There are millions of things to do that don't involve alcohol - theater, concerts, red rocks, teh flatirons, denver isn't too far away.. its incredible. 2 am on Tuesdays... uh... I'm usually in my sorority living room watching movies with the girls. Traditions - FOOOOOOTBALLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great guest speakers that many students go see. Football games are really popular and really fun. People usually party 2-3 nights a week. Frat's and sororities aren't extremely popular or important the the student body. Most parties are off campus. In my dorm, people didn't leave their doors open very often, it was pretty disappointing.
