I
am a freshman at CU and while I love Colorado
and enjoyed growing up in Boulder, I'm having a horrible
time at the university. While the classes are challenging,you
can get good grades if you put enough effect into
them. But it is the social life of CU
that I can't stand. It seems like most kids
just want to talk about the drugs they did or
how drunk they got at some party and it is
difficult to make friends who want to do things other
than party. I work part time in order to pay
for a portion of my tuition and save up for
a place to live next year, so my social life
is practically nonexistent. Apartments and tuition are so expensive
so I have to work four to five days a
week. I am one of three other people that
I know who work because everyone else's parents pay for
everything for them. This makes it hard to meet new
people who don't understand what it's like to work and
go to school, and would rather spend all of their
free time partying. Also the cops in Boulder are
very harsh when it comes to students in the dorms.
Men walk around the halls late at night and
stare into your room if you leave your door open,
which can be very uncomfortable an distracting. All in
all, my first year in college was far from what
I expected it to be. I thought I would meet
a lot of new people and work hard towards my
education but instead, I spend my time listening to arrogant
kids complain about getting in trouble and bragging about the
800 dollar/month apartment their parents will be paying for them
to live in next year. If you are looking
for a school with open-minded and friendly students who care
about their education, then you should look into other schools.
O ya, and tuition is going up for incoming
freshman while the quality of education is going down due
to classes being cut and bigger class sizes.

Responses Well, as long as there are people like you at Boulder and not just the rich douchebags, I think I might like the university. |
 I won't have trouble paying for a place to live or anything if I attend this school, but I am by no means rich or wealthy. I'm down to earth and like down to earth people, are there enough of those people at this school to make it worth going to, because as far as I can tell, everything else about UC seems to be pretty nice. |
| Do you know any people currently at Boulder? (I'm being serious, not sarcastc - btw, I'm the poster above you.) Do you know if it fits the stereotype of having a bunch of pot heads and rich kids from Cali or are there actually normal, down to earth people there? |
| I go to Boulder, and I will say that there are many people from Cali, and many pot heads and yes rish kids, but NOT everyone! I did not have a hard time making friends with a variety of people, I think the people in Boulder are mostly good poeple, unlike what many others say. its surprising to me when peple are so dissatisfied with the peple there because I thought they were very friends and nice. Even the "pot heads" are often not BAD people. I am neither from Cali , nor a pot head nor rich. You also jsut have to find your kind of peple which for many isnt too hard.. |
