CU Boulder is a good school but not a great school. It is very large (campus and student body wise), but not diverse unless you include the football team. You can get lost in the crowd if you do not actively stay in the spotlight, that is going to all the parties on the hill, that is, if you know the right people. Otherwise, you will spend the whole night looking for a party and never finding one.

Excellent, ski and party school. If you like liquor and beer you will love CU, as well as pot. However, you can also learn some good things as well. If you are a Business major, Engineer, Architect, or Journalist you will get a pretty valuable degree. Any other degree (that is any degree in the Arts and Sciences school) you are screwed; you will be pretty looking back ans seeing your four years as just another high school experience.

Nevertheless, for the money, only about $20,000 for four years is not a bad bargain if you could not get into a top 30 ranked school. It could be worse, you could get the same degree at DU for $180,000. DU is a good school but only for Graduate studies.

Overall, CU is a good bargain. Excellent scenery, numerous people, and gorgeous campus. Other than that, just another ordinary school.
