About University of Colorado at Boulder

If you love to ski or snowboard, then you'll love being so close to the snow-capped mountains of the Rockies. But heed some words of wisdom: be careful not to spend all your time with the crisp wind blowing through your hair; make sure to balance out academics with your social life. A major complaint here is that core requirements are specific, numerous, and make it difficult to take classes outside your major, so graduating on-time in four years is already a feat without the call of the mountains. But if you can handle it, you'll have a blast here.
