University of Colorado Boulder Top Questions

The city it's in. While Pearl Street, 29th Street, and campus are beautiful, Boulder is dirty, dingy, and aesthetically displeasing.

The meal plans seem to be a waste of money (both too expensive and a lack of variety in the meals) but they make it difficult for a student to not get a mean plan.

We have a reputation for being a huge party school so I'm afraid my future employers will judge me based on that even though I don't party very much.

The worst thing about my school is that I am across the country from my home and my family. It took a while to get used to not seeing the people you grew up with for months at a time.

The worst thing about my school is that for some people in may be so big that some might find it diffiult to meet new people and really interact on a one to one basis. This can be a difficult adjustment from high school.

Big classes..

Make sure to be driven from the beginning. If you start to slack it can seem discouraging to finish and to do well.

It easy to get lost and pass by all the opportunities available to you. Try everything, gain experience!

The worst thing about the school would have to be the fact that many students 9but by no means most) don't take their education as seriously as they should. CU Boulder is an affluent school, and some of the people who attend are here because Mommy and Daddy will pay for it, and they were told that they have to come. These are the people who you hear about partying and failing out. Many of the other students party, but also take their education seriously, and are able to do very well.

Boulder, in general is a very liberal city. The university has mostly liberal views in the sense of politicial views which makes a lot of people who are conservative or independent feel out of place or starts a lot of arguments. You are looked down upon if you are a conservative or republican.
