This has to be the 500th thread related to CU Boulder

Nobody goes to CU that I know of on here

Alumni here. Business major - finance degree from CU.

Couldn't find the video, but they smoke to much weed over there. They think that university of Colorado boulder correctly abbreviation is cu, put down the bong and clear your mind.

Saw this on tosh, and i heard that it is because "UC" is too widely known as california schools

To specify myself, I am just wondering about the academics, campus life, and the sports. Also what is the closest mountain?

It has horrendous academics, it's boring as fuck, doesn't have any sports team and skiing is 4 hours away.

 

[derek.urben]

so its basically the best

 

[Blake.P]

Academics can be really good if you take certain majors, and mediocre for some. Campus life is awesome, always a good time and there is always shit to do. Closest mountain is eldora (30 min) but nobody goes there really, summit county is 1.5-2 hours away

Its actually an old Big 8 tradition

CU-Boulder

KU-Kansas

MU-Mizzou

NU-Nebraska

OU-Oklahoma

Even though all those schools start with "The University of..."

 

[C-Burg]

Why is the University of Colorado called CU? It's backwards

 

[C-Burg]

nevermind, i didnt read the entire thing just the first couple

 

[BE..]

I went to CU for a bit before I decided to transfer out. It's a cool place but it's not worth the money for an out-of-state student.

 

[derek.urben]

Yah that is what I am thinking about. The tuition is insane even for out of state.

 

[Chubz.]

take a gap year, establish residency then get dat instate tuition

 

[derek.urben]

my god your a genius. but the parents would not like that i have a feeling.

 

[deleted5]

it takes 2 years to qualify in CO then it's still a nightmare.

 

[BE..]

Yeah that's not nearly as easy as people make it sound. You have to completely cut ties with your old state and become totally financially independent from your parents if you even want to have a shot. Getting a job and living with some distant relative will not get you in state.

 

[TechnoPotamus]

strongly agree with this statement. Unless your parents are ok with covering all of it for you and you're very lucky and well off, it's not worth it for the loans you'll end up with at the end.

and in terms of getting in state residency - they make it a mother fucking miserable nightmare for you to attempt to do it. it's not something they take lightly, and it's very difficult to do. you have to completely commit to it, support yourself, pay all your own bills, not receive money from family or anything like that... it's extremely hard to do. My girlfriend at the time did it, but it required her taking off almost 2 years from school and honestly, it wasn't worth it.
