The best thing about this school is the opportunity to learn from some of the best professors in whichever field you chose to study in. Professors at CU are always willing to lend a helping hand and to make sure you succeed.

CU Boulder is very organized. I love that they know what theyre doin. No nonsense! Theyve got the system down, and are always lookin out for their students!

The University of Colorado at Boulder is best known for being environmentally friendly and being a gorgeous campus. I completely agree with both and think that these make it a top choice for many kids. Being surrounded by mountains is a view that makes you feel like you are in heaven and don't deserve to wake up to that view every day.

The lofty ideaology that is aspired to if not fully realized.

The social and academic aspects. Socially, I am in a great fraternity and have lots of non-greek friends. I go out almost every night. But on the other hand, the school is academically challenging, so I must balance my social life and my academic life.

The best thing about the Boulder campus is how open-minded the people up here are. The large range of students and faculty on our campus can only coexist peacefully if we have an open-minded nature. I have found that I can just as easily have a polite yet interesting debate on religious issues from the Pagan Student Alliance and the Campus Crusade for Christ. I've spoken with the PSA about Christian theology and Cru about Paganism with the same amount of ease. It's nice not to have to holdback curiousity for fear of stepping on toes.

That there is always room to grow, improve, and expand ourselves not only as students, but as a body. There will always be opportunities for anyone.
Madeline
The community and Boulder itself. Waking up every morning and seeing the Flatirons is the best feeling in the world. It is a great environment to earn a college education.

The fact that i am learning what I want to learn: film. Not just video or the most up to date tech--we learn that too, but film. Super 8, 16, etc. I like the arts emphasis on exploration and experimentation instead of cookie-cutter-career-path works.

Whatever a student needs or wants, he does not have to travel very far to find it, and very rarely will he/she even need to leave campus. Virtually anything, including sports, tutoring, grocery shopping, medical attention, etc. is available on campus and/or very close by. The convenience and accessability of everything makes it very easy for new students to settle in to campus life, as well as provide an "at home" feel for continuing students.
