Warning: you will tour this campus and fall in love. The terra cotta roofed buildings nestled at the base of the flatirons are beautiful. Pearl St. is a tourist's delight.

Once you find yourself interacting with the student body, the bloom falls off the rose quickly. Well, for me it did, anyway. I was a middle class kid who worked during the summers to help pay my way. This seemed to be a foreign concept to the typical CU student. Seriously, it was a big contingent of wealthy eastern and CA kids who were there to spend 4 or 5 years screwing around on Daddy's dime. Classwork isn't very difficult so you can do a lot of drugs and still skate by.
