Review of University of Colorado Boulder

from Parker, CO

Describe your college in three sentences.

A great school especially if you are from Colorado. Everything about CU Boulder is welcoming and fun. You can't go wrong with this school!

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Depends on the classes you take but overall from what I have heard from is the hard working students will have a very large chance at succeeding. Also, don't be afraid of your professor! Go to class, talk with your professor, and visit them during office hours.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

There is a large amounts of residency halls and most of them are pretty cozy and nice, especially the recently renovated Baker hall. Students can also part in residential academic programs or RAP. This also students of similar interests and classes to live together and sometime classes are even held within the residency hall themselves!

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The C4C's food is great tasting and has some cool variety such as their Persian section. However, if you get burnt out on the C4C's food (which definitely can happen) there are still many other option around the campus for food.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Boulder is a great place for recreation. You can go hiking, mountain biking, swimming, fishing, camping, and tons of other things in the area around campus. The school also has lots of intramural sports and a great rec center with a buffalo shaped Ralphie pool!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Great price for in state students considering what the school has to offer. However, it may get a little pricey for out of state but the education and experience just might be worth it.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

4/20 day you may just wanna stay inside unless you are in the mood to get high ;)

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are an abundant amount of clubs for all interests around campus, and if there isn't one that fits your interests, then you can always start your own. There is also a good amount of intramural sports that anyone can participate in and the area around campus is beautiful and there is a huge amount to do outside of the school grounds.
