I
graduated in the 70's so it's hard to say whether
that experience holds true anymore. I suspect that academically
CU has only gotten better. However, a recent visit
to Boulder convinced me NOT to send my kid there.
The place, while beautiful and culturally nice has overpriced
itself. I simply could not afford to send my
kid here. The off campus housing prices are insane.
(a room in a house costs what my mortgage does
in Idaho) The cost of dining entertainment etc, is
also ridiculously high. Boulder has also changed from a
low key get along kind of place into a yuppie
mecca full of giant SUVs and strip malls. Very nice
strip malls mind you. The whole front range is
one big traffic jam. On the other hand, if
you're from Boston you might think it's great. The
campus remains one of the nicest in North America with
some of the best profs with an amazing array of
majors to pick from.
