Here is a question to think about if you want to come to any school, "are you a huge partier"? If so then come to this school. If you don't like to party, then say NO to this school immediately. I knew that this school had a reputation of being at the time the #1 party school in the country but I thought I would find people who didn't do that kind of stuff, but man I was wrong. The school's location is absolutely amazing. The buildings are beautiful and the dorm rooms aren't too bad. There is a big reason why people want to come here, its because its a crazy place. The people here are friendly but if you don't smoke weed or drink, then you are 100% an outsider. I am not going to lie, I have had some great moments at this school. The football games were fun as hell even though we sucked,The rec center is a ton of fun and the c4c which is the main cafeteria on campus is nice, and the basketball games were a lot of fun as well. If you don't party, then you might have a hard time finding people who are similar to you who don't drink/smoke. Sadly I left CU after 1 semester. CU is a fun place to be and is near amazing ski resorts and is an overall a great school. The social life was difficult because no one I knew didn't drink/smoke. I know weed/alcohol is everywhere but if you don't do that kind of stuff then good luck my friend trying to find people like you. But hey, if you are a partier then you are going to have a blast here. I wish you guys nothing but the best who read this comment. I hope I gave some good advice.

Okay, honestly.. This school is beautiful. The campus and buildings are outstanding. But really- it seems to me all the kids here are rich Nd wasting their parents money on drugs and alcohol. Every weekend multiple lids would be taken out of the dorm from alcohol poisoning. It's a complete mess there. Everyone I met there thinks they are cool because they live in boulder. It's so silly. Upper level classes definitely have better teachers but I think other schools would be better. It definitely is a 'scene' out there and if you don't want to be a part of it, don't go. If you do, and realize how stupid it is.. Get out while you can! Drugs, dubstep, alcohol poisoning, and sex. That's boulder, and it's not that great.

Do not expect help from any of the administrative offices. Admissions, Financial Aid in particular,Bursar's etc. They employ students who are undertrained if at all and you will make 10 phone calls trying to find an answer and it will still be wrong. You will be on hold for 20 minutes at a time and be treated rudely by supervisors. There is no recourse whatsoever for mistreatment.
