University of Colorado Boulder Top Questions

If you are outdoorsey, ready for adventure, yet want a typical college feel, then the University of Colorado is a place for you. Weekends are used for sociallizing, heading to the mountains, skiing, kayaking, hiking a 14er, you name it. After a long week of studying hard, these weekends are precious, and fun!

People that are strictky attending school on loans or financial aid should noe attend this school. The school is very expensive and the cost of living in Boulder is very high. The school doesn't offere nearly enough aid to students that need it and often do not care enough to find out who those students are. There is a high population of kids suffering from "affluenza" that do not take their studies seriously, this makes it very hard to concentrate and feel welcome when you are a student with limited funds and opportunities.

The type of person who should not come to this school would be the people who find themselves stuck to tradition because this university is all about pushing limits and enjoying life as they want. They want to stay young and choose to bend rules to see what they can get away with. People who can't handle this type of life shouldn't come here.

A person who is extremely serious about school or does not like large universities.

People who are not acedemically motivated should not tend this school because it is a lot of work and is very time consuming.

I have no idea I just started.

A person who is not comfortable with a diverse enviorment, and interacting with many people from all over the world. A person who is not ready to work hard to get ahead in life. A person who cant prioritze with lots of things going on around them!

A person who is not partial to the outdoors; someone who likes to sit in their room while the sun is shining brightly. A person who is set in their ways and is unwilling to be changed-hardnecked and stiff. A person who wants to be left alone, liking the solitude of his own presence.

Somebody who was interested in being attached to a prestigious name - like Harvard or Princeton - wouldn't enjoy the anonymity of a large state school like CU Boulder, even though the school does present students with academic challenges as well as social opportunities.

Someone who can't handle noise, big classes or crazy college cities.

Someone who wants small classes

There is absolutely no one who shouldn't attend CU. There are so many majors, minors, and student groups that just about anyone can fit in. If you have a desire to learn and want to find somewhere where you can find your place, CU-Boulder is the place for you. Its easy to forget who you are on a campus of 30,000 students, but CU's diverse programs and activities make the campus seem inclusive and smaller than it really is.

Someone who either doesn't enjoy a large campus or has trouble being on time to classes - usually there is a walk to class.

A person who doesn't enjoy the outdoors and isn't sociable shouldn't attend CU. Boulder has a lot of fun and outgoing people to make for a positive college experience. If you are closed to new things and different people you wouldn't enjoy it here. The attitude and atmosphere is very welcoming and encouraging to be yourself and to enjoy college. People who like to live in a big city with a strong urban feel should not come out to Boulder, and any reclusive person shouldn't come here either due to its size and ambiance.

A student who doesnt like the out doors or the cold weather shouldn't attend CU. Students who are very materialistic also should not attend. Most of the community at the University of Colorado is liberal, and if you are an extreme conservative, this is definitly not a school for you. A student who is extremely into the fraternity or sorority scene might enjoy the greek system here, but it is not a very big part of campus., one can definitly have an awesome social life without it. If you are not accepting of people different from you dont come.

The University at Colorado at Boulder is a very left winged school, so I suggest that students who are conservative do not attend this University. This is also a public institution and therefore it is hard to find religious groups or activities, so if a student is looking for a certain religious class or group, I would suggest looking at a different University.

The out of state student who does not wish to get a good education. Boulder is a very liberal town and a beautiful place. It is not for the person who loves to spend time indoors or the person who wishes to avoid actually learning. For an out of state student the price is difficult to overcome, but the benefits of the school are fantastic.

If you are not hardworking , dedicated, and perseverant then you should not attend this college. There are things and situations that you might not be able to handle. Make sure you can get enough financial aid to cover your tuition and fees.

I would not reccomend this school to people that are very political/republican/closed minded/not open to different ideas. Also people who are not capable of opening up to different cultures/backgrounds. Otherwise this school has something to offer for every other type of person from the jock to the couch potato. Although we have a lot of fun here at the University of Colorado at Boulder, you must have a focus on the education you will receive here as it costs a substantial amouint of money for out of state tuition and the academics are challenging

Someone who is closed-minded, not open to new ideas and experiences, and entirely dependent on small classes should not come to CU-Boulder. This school has an incredibly diverse population; people who aren't accepting of a variety of lifestyles may be uncomfortable here. Although most of my classes have been small (less than 50 people), many people have a few large lecture classes throughout their time here.
