Boulder is a fun school and a fun town. Academics are what you make of it, however opportunities for internships are limited in Boulder directly. Outdoors and nature are great. Housing and cost of living can be on the higher side. Ultimately it is what you make of it.

The lack of diversity at this campus left something to be desired, but the academic staff were very supportive and well-read.

Language skills should be electives or possibly classes used to get advanced degrees in that particular language field. Having a technical skill can open many doors for new grads. This is one of the reasons why I plan on getting an MBA.

Studying physical geography and Geology at CU (not UC- that is California) was the most amazing experience and best decision of my life. I had brilliant professors who inspired and encouraged me. Due to the location of the campus, many of the classes had a field component. Instead of looking at slides of glacial formations, we got in a van, drove into the mountains and hiked around as we learned how the topography formed. When studying soils we headed East of 15 min, to the high plains. The social... Read More
