congrats man, they said they won't send mine out until january, but i probably won't get in.

my freeking teacher didnt send in the recomendation on time, but they said, "hey, you did everything right, we arent going to penalize you because your teacher dropped the ball".

it seems like the most legit place.

You like weed, preaching the subtle nuances of $9 6-packs, can get a 1350 on your SATs, but have no common sense and your mommy's credit card.

They have a kick ass hockey team. But not so sure about half the trust fund kids that go to that school. Legit school for sure, but boy do those kids know how to flaunt it!

Not applying for financial aid huh? They love that NOLS shit, it means you can be a hippy and pay 34k a year for tuition.

Compared to any UC in CA it is nothing, the kids are down to earth there even if they have a 8 figure trustfund compared to douchebags acting they like they are untouchable at UCSB because they have a 3 series BMW.

most of the kids get scholarships from cc, i got an independent scholarship through another program so i dont need anything from cc. most of the kids there are super down to earth and if they have money they probably dont flaunt it because it is such a super liberal school and im sure that would be frowned upon by all. i wanna be a teacher and i have no such trust fund im on my own after this year pretty much

True, but you still have a good portion of rich children that show up there then decide they are "hippies" at winter semester that still drive the beemers...oh goodness cc is something else!

I went to CU.  It was definitely a fun school,  I met lots of cool kids, and Boulder is a legit city.  However, keep in mind how you're going to be paying for it.  I went as an out of state student, and I definitely didn't get an education worth the 34 grand a year I was paying to go there.  Something for people considering it to keep in mind.

CC is the shit.. I'm a sophomore there atm.. my brother applied early decision and just got in, so he'll be in your class next year. If you ever need a ride up to the mountains just give me a call.. I head up pretty much every weekend.

there's a small, libral arts college in colorado springs called Colorado College, which is a completely different type of place than boulder, not to mention a tenth of the people.

C Springs is not a legit city and the education at CC is definetly better than CU, at least in most areas.

my dad went to college here.  loved it.  apparently you take like a three week course, one class at a time, get out on like a wednesday, and then can do whatever u want thur-sun.  they call them block breaks i think.

Because I lived in C Springs for close over 4 years which gives me the right to talk shit on its shittiness. Greely though, that is shitty squared.
