I went to CU for grad school and CSU (Fort Collins) for undergrad. The difference between them is night and day. Seriously - take a day and tour each campus. I'll be amazed if CSU doesn't feel more welcoming, vital, and interesting to you (and/or your children). Some good things happen at CU academically, but they happen in spite of the administration and the toxic environment on campus, not because of it. Avoid.
