The worst thing I consider about my school is that it is recognized as a party school rather than an institute of challenging academic higher learning.

Alcohol and drugs, especially marijuana, are highly prevalent and often abused on and around campus. CU Boulder is notorious for having a very large "party" community. While I'm not necessarily opposed to these things in moderation, I believe that their presence here is excessive. Late night keggers (held somewhere nearly every night) and the like strongly affect students' ability to succeed in class, as well as provide a disruption for anyone who must deal with intoxicated or otherwise impaired peers.

Sometimes it is more like a corporation than an education system. Yes, they have organizations and you can receive a wonderful education if you want to, but many times it seems focused on getting you in and putting you out again. Especially in the large general classes which most everyone have to take at one point or another, you are a student number and with an internet password. It is understandable for such a large place with so much to offer, but sometimes it is hard being just one face in a sea of 30,000.

Probably my freshman dorm. It was kind of far away from campus and the bus never got to school on time, which was really unfortunate. But, I don't live there anymore, so it's really not a big deal to me anymore.

Probably the worst thing about my university is the conflict it has with the city community, and neighborhoods that surround it. The local communities do not seem to appreciate the fact that college aged adults live close to campus (and thus close to them) and are continually trying to interfere with businesses and extracirriculars/student orientated activities that cater to the student population. There is a constant tension between the city community and the university community, and it feels as though the surrounding community does not want to work and live together with students.

some professors and TA's do not understand english well making communication and learning difficult; mostly in science courses.
Cory
There is a lot of greek life. It tends to make it clicky and a lot of the social gatherings are domintaed by it. But that is great for those who are or want to be involved in greek life
James
Fraternities, all of the guys are really unfriendly and think very highly of themselves.
Matthew
The off campus houses and apartments are fairly expensive

I guess it would have to be that there isn't any really initiative to make our school exclusive, i feel they let eveyone in regardless of gpa or test scores. That way it would weed out the people who don't are serious about school.
