University of Colorado Boulder Top Questions

How well ranked we are internationally. Our programs are internationally recognized, more so than some more so-called prestigious schools.

The campus at CU is absolutely amazing! The gorgeous view of the mountains and hard brick buildings make CU beautiful. When talking to my friends, I brag about the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. I applied to the school as early as I could (Fall 2007) and was accepted immediately. In the school there are only about 600-700 students and it is very competitive. I feel very honored to be a member of the J-School.

The amazing opportunities that arrise from attending a large school. As an engineering student, I can take courses in Farsi, Dance or Political Science, and be learning from the top professors in those departments. Many of my friends attend engineering-only colleges, where their arts and humanities courses (if even offered) are taught by second-rate professors. I also brag about the fact that our school is huge but can easily feel small once you get involved with a group or two; I never spend a day on campus without running into at least 3 people I know.

I brag most about how 3 Nobel laureates come from the same organization that I word at and is associated with the University of Colorado: JILA.

I brag most about how much I am learning in my classes. I always bring up all the things we are learning and it seems to shock everyone because they have never heard about what I am talking about. I try to broaden their world too, like mine was with learning at this school.

The beauty and proximity to skiing.

How beautiful my campus is and how wonderful the people are. Boulder is an absolutely amazing place to live and the university is fun and open.

While there isn't a whole lot of pressure to do well, there are many chances to succeed. And the freedom to do what you want.

I brag about all the cool friends I have made and how much fun my classes are.

There is always a ton of events going on campus and in Boulder as well. There is always something to do, either hiking the flat irons, going down to pearl street mall to go window shopping or just going to one of the football or basketball games, boulder and CU is always alot of fun.
