CU is a gorgeous campus, no denying it. Boulder is a pretty nice town, although it seems that it's become a super-rich place still trying to pass itself of as hip and bohemian. In my experience at Boulder I found the student body to be comprised of a large percentage of east coast prep school types, attending CU for the "brand name", the same way that one might wear North Face or Mountain Hardware clothing when the only climbing they'll be doing is social climbing. Think Lexus SUV's with environmental license plates. Enough phonies here to make Holden Caulfield feel right at home.
