Beatiful campus, courteous staff, and an awesome city!

We visited CU and walked around the campus just to admire how massive the campus was. Tucked in the mountains of CO, the campus alone feels like a small town rather than a school. We checked out an art exhibit, rode some bikes, saw some football practice, and took in the outdoors lifestyles of the locals.

Room for improvement: A more guided visitors guide outside and within the campus.

What a beautiful campus and community. We visited the school to check it out for my daughter, she fell in love and it has moved to the top of her wish list. My only worry for her is the size and the increased chance she will just become another number.

Nice college. Beautiful campus. Student concentration is a lot less than normal but a little more than what it is in the summer. Most students are wearing masks on campus. Off campus is another story. As of last weekend there were still parties on the Hill. If covid 19 cases skyrocket classes will go online only.

Im a freshman here in the Leeds Business School and I am having the time of my life. Amazing academic content, faculty, and resources. Not to mention the amazing culture and people. Lots of fun.

I really enjoyed the programs offered to students here. The staff are very caring and the campus is so beautiful. I love how many events we have availible as well as different student organizations. I am sad that I have to transfer to a different school in AZ because I had to move but I will always be a buff at heart.

Class of 2015, I would highly recommend the INVST program above all else at CU, the school could improve how they handle campus housing for freshman, but I had a really great experience my last three years.

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.

I was in the area for the first time to hike recently and saw this campus from up on Panorama Point (on Flagstaff Road). Since its red roofs stood out even from that distance, I was intrigued enough to go down and walk around. I was blown away by how beautiful it is here! It's as if you're walking through a modern Italian town, or some place in southern California. The buildings almost all have awesome stonework and red tile roofs, and there are areas here and there with ponds to sit near. I would seriously consider going to school here just for the architecture and ambience

From my experience talking with my girlfriend, the flaws in University are very apparent and incompetent.
The community surrounding certain programs (such as computer science) are toxic and most people stick to their group.
The general workload within certain fields is absurd, the way the university handles students class schedule is poorly done.

We visited campus to attend an event at the Planetarium, as well as the Observatory. We had time to kill while waiting for the Planetarium to open so we rented bikes from a nearby kiosk and rode around campus. The campus is extremely clean and inviting, and is very bike friendly! It sits at the base of the mountain, so it is very picturesque.

Great academics in the most beautiful town I've ever been to. For the most part, Boulderites are pretty cool, relaxed, easy-going, and interested in diversity. The student population can be poor at times but it's all a matter of finding the right people and I'm proud to say that I did.

This school cares about the bottom line only. Education is not a priority. Switching instructors during a class multiple times and administering exams that are not consistent with the class syllabus are common practices. Veterans being denied the same class opportunities that other students have is a perfect example of this schools priorities.

I didn't like this school AT ALL. Horrible education. The teachers weren't even focused on teaching us most of the time. Campus is really small. Way more expensive then CSU. If you're thinking about going here, DONT!

The campus is beautiful and the CEM graduate program is ranked in the top 15 in the country. The graduate program has a great culture and the professors seem to love their work and are respectful and genuinely concerned about the success of their students. The in state tuition rates are very reasonable for the quality of education received. My family and I have greatly enjoyed our time in the area.

Visited the Boulder Campus for an ASU vs Colorado football game. Colorado prevailed . However we still enjoyed our overall experience as the stadium staff was very welcoming & the Colorado fans were gracious in their team s victory. Hence, I will be rooting for the Buffaloes to have success thru the remainder of their 2018 season. And I look forward to them visiting us in Tempe in 2019 - and I will be rooting for our Sun Devils to improve & be victorious on our home field. Forks up !!

Dear whoever it may concern,

Dear whoever it may concern,
I feel absolutely crushed by reading different e-mails from the university. The admissions team lack understanding between them and especially the woman that I had a conversation with on the phone. I asked her for her good name and she replied with "have a good day" in the rudest tone I have ever heard. The school might be rated well with a decent academic record but they are extremely rude and do not know how to treat people. I hope this matter is taken seriously because it's a shame for a university of your level to treat any human in this manner.

Kind regards,

Will Newham.
