This school is so overrated. I applied to CSU UCD and CU and got accepted to both. I decided to go to school in Boulder and it's was a big mistake. I understand that all colleges has it's pros and cons and you'll always have mixed opinions on a university but this school is crap. If you're a rich pothead alcoholic then this is the school for you. Don't get me wrong, I like to party and have fun but ultimately I want to go to college to get a good education. It seems everyone in my classes don't care, they just want to party and has a reputation for being a big party school. There're some assholes here in Boulder from faculty to students. Boulder get old after awhile and I'm starting to hate the atmoshpere. My first impressions at CU looking from the outside were positive. However after attending for a couple years I've realized that this university is not that great. I have friends attending CSU and UCD and they're all happy there and have nothing but good things to say.

Can't wait to get out of here as I will be transferring next semester. I suggest if you're not familiar with Boulder and are thinking about going to CU I would say think twice. I don't recommend this school and think any other university or college in Colorado is better. Although, I haven't attended any other school my opinion comes from friends and family personal experiences and I would say CSU,UCD,UNC, even Metro State are all better.
