Beware Freshman students. This may not be the University of your dreams that you think it is before you get here.

If you are from out of state, you may feel as though you are there just for the enormouse tuition. Classes are huge, TA's (most)are not helpful. The campus is beautiful and the town is very cool (but expensive. Most of all the police (due to past bad publicity) has decided that students (especially those in the dorms) have a target on their back. I was so excited and priveledged to start here and now I regret it. Read the other negative posts because they are right on. If you still decide to come here do not live in Williams Village. Dirty, old, mice, and basically dorm staff that could care less about you. You will feel like a number for sure at this University.It's not to late to change your mind!

I have been to four different Universities, and the University of Colorado (Boulder) has been the worst experience by far. Most of my classes have been taught by Grad Students, the Dean's Office is literally unapproachable (do not anticipate classes will transfer and meet their core), professors are condescending, parking and traffic are terrible, and the facilities are sub-par. I cannot believe that a University of over 30,000 students does not have 24 hour facilities, especially during finals. The school does spend a lot of time and money entertaining boosters and alumni. It is all about the money and reputation for this pretentious University.

I am an out-of-state student who came to CU because my parents both went here. I would recommend coming to this school if you are from Colorado and/or you like to party. Though I have enjoyed most of my classes, I have found that many of the students in them constantly talk about getting drunk on the weekends. Everyone here parties. I am not a big partier, but I have gone to The Hill a few times and it is really overrated. Almost half the people on my floor have transferred or are planning on transferring. The majority of the ones who are staying are from Colorado. Some students are friendly and you'll meet nice people, but most of the people won't give you the time of day. Barely any smiles around campus. The gym is so far away from the dorms (unless you live in Will Ville, Libby, or Baker). There is constant construction (very annoying!) Overall, I found the campus unwelcoming. The campus is huge, so you will get apathetic about walking to class. You will love the school on your tour here, but just try to picture yourself spending every day at the school. Think ahead please. I am transferring at the end of my sophomore year (the only reason I'm waiting is because it is easier to transfer as a junior than a sophomore).
