Absolutely not CU if you have any intention on being successful after you graduate. The partying is fun until you realize you went for the wrong reasons, end up in debt, ad to shitty 2.5 in geology can't get you a job.
Too bad UVM is expensive as FUCK for what you get (IMO). I only applied to UConn and UVM and it was unreal how much they expected me to pay, even with scholarships. No thanks!
