What's the most frustrating thing about University of Colorado Boulder?

Kye

To me the most frustrating thing about CU Boulder is the very expensive out of state tuition. I am from Texas but my mother has been a COlorado resedant for almost three years now, before coming here I was told I would be granted in state tuition but once I got here I was told I was not eligable for in state tution because my mother renewed her drivers license in Texas months earlier.

I am currently enrolled in the University of San Francisco, and plan on transferring to the University of Colorado Boulder for the Spring 2015 semester. The most frustrating thing about USF is the lack of sense of community. Although it is a D1 school for sports, games are not a big event and with everyone living in separate parts of the city there is no one place to be with fellow Dons. The frustrating thing about Boulder is that I'm not there yet!

Most of the introductory classes at CU are very large. This made the transition from high school to college much tougher and unless you are willing to adjust, it can be a difficult learning environment. This less intimate structure poses opportunitites for students to fade into the background and to not take full advantage of their college education. To do that, I had to see my professor or TAs during office hours to get one on one learning and to better understand the matieral being taught. Overall, it took more time and effort on the student to truely be successful.

Justin

The most frustrating part about my school is the size of classes at the lower division undergradte level. Some classrooms are stuffed with 250 students, which makes it difficult to ask questions and get help when needed.

Christopher

The cost of school, it is frustrating to be racking up tens of thousands of dollars in debt when students in-state pay about half of what I pay.

Shira

The college life in Boulder is very different than the high school life I had in Boulder and I prefer the high school side of Boulder

Sierra

By far the most frustrating thing about CU Boulder in the fact that the school not only costs a lot of money but they try and take just a little more money whenever possible.

There is no air conditioning in the dorms, so its makes it very hard to sleep at night unless you have a fan.

Natalie

Like I said above, the partying and the use of marajuana is the most frustrating for me. I just don't understand why so many people enjoy frying their brains and sacrificing their educationa and futures.
