Dude orientation is a joke. If you get Libby the rooms smell like piss and everyone is incredibly awkward and socially retarded

Sorry I'll be helpful too. If you want more philosophy, I took philosophy of society with seacord, and it was pretty awesome. For the record:

Ill have a house on Moorhead
Electrical Engineering
Differential equations w/ linear algebra; Circuits I; General Physics II, Experimental Physics I, Computers As Components.

Ill be a sophomore, you guys can all come to my parties, but only if you bring 3 good looking girls per guy. AND I STRESS GOOD LOOKING!

Not really, but get used to hearing that shit a lot!

definitely take the ATOC weather and atmosphere classes for your science CORE. you learn a ton about how weather works and its super interesting from a skier's perspective. plus its pretty easy and the lab is fun.

hope you're stoked for CU, boulder is dope

yeah yeah, we all know the U is where its at for skiing...but couldnt you at least think that maybe we're not just going to boulder for the skiing? I mean sure, I love skiing its my favorite sport but I also got into the U...I just happened to chose boulder because I like the campus and atmosphere more than utah. No hate, ive got friends that go to the U, theyre just completely different schools.

being a colorado native since birth, most likely an attendee of CU, and the son of a CU grad, i am deeply saddened to say that you are very right :(

coach hawkins is the worst thing to happen to that football program since those rape cases that got him the job in the first place.

Wow

Where to begin?

First, as a working CU graduate let me say 1) Congratulations 2) Enjoy 3) Safety Third.

In following with the thread here's what I was

Hallet
Business
Bunch of Intro Business Classes.

3 Biggest Lessons Learned from College That You Won't Learn Until It's Too Late (b/c you're not going to listen to me)

1) Talk and get to know your professors, if you don't you'll have every reason to think the class is too easy, too hard, too pointless, not worthwhile, stupid, etc,etc.

You'll quickly realize that even the bad teachers are great people, and in doing so you'll do better in school and actually enjoy it.

2) You're there for school, and don't forget it.  If you don't, and stick to a solid gameplan for getting work done/preparing for tests you'll quickly realize that it's possible to ski 50+ (or 70+ freshman year) and do well.

3) If you don't like the people, meet new ones.  How El*Gato can claim he hates, or wants to light everyone he meets on fire, is beyond me.  Yes there are tons of d-bags, welcome to life my man....don't think that would be different at other schools.  Well maybe it would be, you could have fucking hipsters instead who I have even more of a problem with....who cares if they're nice.

to all the business students, you may be living next to other business students, I lived next to 12 others in kitt west, but anyway do your work together, such as projects, hw and quizzes. you will get much better grades that way. Instead of only your input you will have others to tweak the work. Plus some may be smart and take upper division classes, so you can use there graded work from those classes as a guideline when it comes time for you to take those classes.

of course your going to hear a bunch of hype about boulder from a skiing website, what do you expect? Every college gets hyped up by a some high schooler for some reason.
