Great school. The academics are great and the location is awesome. Just a few minutes from the mountains and lots of opportunities for outdoor activities. Housing can be very expensive but there are some affordable places if you look hard enough. Lots of opportunities for participating in extracurricular activities.

All my experiences here so far have been great, whether it's in class or on the weekends in Boulder. CU Boulder attracts a wide variety of people, which is one of the many reasons why I like it so much.

This university is the perfect place to get a stellar education while having fun doing so. If I am struggling in a class there are always so many tutors or places I can go for help. Parties are also fun.

CU Boulder, as a big school, has a lot of opportunities for you no matter how you want to spend your college years. Lovely community, excellent media and public relations program.

The campus is absolutely beautiful, along with the rest of Boulder. There's always something to do. The professors I've had so far are pretty good, but I usually get more efficient help from TA's during their office hours.

Love the campus, beautiful and clean. Great location and so many great things to do around Boulder area. Close to skiing and mountains and easy to get to Denver International Airport to fly home to see family. Boulder itself is a great city, it's so beautiful. Hikes and bike trails all around the area. I don't rock climb but if you do i hear it's one of the best areas for that in Colorado. CU has tons of clubs to join as well. Don't let this opportunity pass you by as membership, consistency and commitment are viewed favorably on scholarship and job apps.

Sometimes it feels as if it isn't friendly to all learning styles but the college as a whole does its best to provide resources for a diverse student population.

My time with Boulder has been irreplaceable. However, the administration could definitely use some work, especially academic advising and financial aid.

After four years at the University of Colorado Boulder I honestly have nothing positive to say about my time here. The university designs the curriculum in such a way that it is difficult to graduate in four years. Instead of dorms, many freshmen lived in classrooms like barracks, because there were too many students accepted. This school just try to make money on you and does not care at all about its students.
