Review of University of Colorado Boulder

from Northglenn, CO

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I love CU it easy to learn. If you are not understanding something there is always a TA or even the professor to help you out or give you advice about study habits. One of the first things your teachers tell you is to get someones number and learn their name so you can have a study partner and a new friend. Its a great environment for learning and has great enthusiastic teachers to make even a class you may find boring fun.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Boulder in general is fun and there is always something to do and when your also involved with the campus there are at least five things to do on a slow night. You have Pearl Street, The 29th Street mall, and the Hill all right next to each other and that's just shopping and some food. At our UMC there is a place foe bowling, live bands, pool and arcades. Not to mention all of the special events CU has going on all year. The environment in Boulder is very laid back and always filled with nice smiling people. Its such a nice place to just go lay out of Farren Field and take a nap or have a night of fun with all of your friends.

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

Between all the help you get, late nights in the 24 hour library, printing, transportation, and amazing professors you really get your moneys worth at CU.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Have fun but don't get overly involved and party too much your first semester that's how people fail and drop out of college. It may seem hard or not as fun but ease into college life that way you can have fun both semesters and for the rest of college instead of being on academic probation and having to explain to your parents why you failed your first semester and messed up your college career.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

CU is great for just about everyone. We do get some cold days and we are a really active and outdoor involved campus. We have a laid back environment but are still in the heart of Boulder. We aren't just for hippies but for everyday people and for those you want to act and be their own person.
