The school itself is what you would expect for a state school. Classes are generally unchallenging, with the exception of a few. Attendance is NEVER mandatory; in fact, most classes there is really no point in going. However, many classes have 300-400 people in them, so if you are struggling, make sure you go to the TAs, who are generally very helpful (unlike the teachers)

HOWEVER.

There is no parking - I got over $1,000 in parking tickets my freshman year. Also, since classes are so huge and attendance is so optional, it's hard to make friends through classes. Be friendly to the people in your dorm freshmen year, because those will be your friends.

Fort Collins itself, while a beautiful city, has nothing to do. There are no good clubs; no nice restaurants; and if you're underage, GOOD LUCK getting into a bar or buying alcohol, I don't care how good your fake is.

If you're into house parties, you'll like this school - theres atleast 1 huge one every weekend. If you're outdoorsy, you'll love this school.

If you drink & drive, you will get a DUI. Probably more than one.

Bottom line - for a good education, go to Boulder. For greek life, go to Boulder. If you're into drugs, go to Boulder.

Responses
responseWhat you have written here has nothing to do with education but you resent the college for being in a town that punishes underage drinking and drinking and driving.
