University of Colorado Boulder Top Questions

I wish I had known more about what I wanted to do as a major. The school perfectly accomodated students who did not yet have a major, but I felt lost in what I wanted to do. As far as information about the school, I can't really think of anything that I would have liked to have known before coming here.

how many students are from wealthy areas

Probably that even if you go to a college in the same state as your high school, it doesn't mean that you can keep your friends from high school. People drift apart and it's unfortunate, but it happens.

I wish I had known how much the university demands academically and how serious my peers were about their work

nothing

I wish I knew how big all of the classes would be, and the fact that getting a recitation leader who speaks English is really rare.

I've done my research before I came to this school.

I wish i would of really expirenced a day at CU, full on like classes, food and dorms.

I wish that i had know more that time not in class is not always free time, but needed for studying. I slacked off some. I also wish that i had know more about possible extra curriculars so that i could have chosen before i came instead of when i heard about them later

Nothing. There is nothing you need to know, just experience things as they come. And keep focused in school starting freshmen year because GPA is really hard to bring up. Also, know that the amount of work to get an A at CU is 100x harder than in high school.
