University of Colorado Boulder Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Christopher

Money is not everything but it is important. I wish I would have known that I wasn't gonna have enough money for the spring so I could have gotten it in the fall. I was still able to get the money i needed but it would have been easier if I got more sooner.

Megan

I wish I had known more about the financial process because I had a lot of trouble making all my payments last semester

Keith

The Cost of living in Boulder and the Cost of tuition.

Arsene

the school facility, how to use my advisor

Audrey

Take core classes first, even though it's not as fun. Switching majors limits the credits you can get.

Arsene

I definitely wish I had known as an incoming transfer student to use my academic advisor more officially and more accurately. My first semester I believe one class, 3 credits out of my 15, actually applied to my major.

Gavin

It's HUGE. Way bigger than any tour will lead you to believe. Make sure you're capable of assimilating to such a place. Also, off-campus rent is outrageously high.

Kimberly

That it is not an artisitcally focused school and there is not very much opportunity for those who tend to focus on the performing and visual arts!

Katherine

More of the clubs and things to get involved in

Madeline

To get more involved from the very beginning! Make sure to visit all the dorms before you choose one. Go in with smart study habits before you start. Always make time to have fun!
