Most Helpful Review for University of Colorado Boulder

  • Review by: John from Arvada, CO
  • 28 out of 29 people found this review helpful

There are classes ranging from several hundred students to just a handful. It is easy to contact teachers and have them help you in the courtesy of their own office. There are also help rooms for several of the math and science classes where you can get help from your peers and staff. Most of the classes are appropriately challenging and have good professors.

    CU is one of the top schools you can go to for sciences, particularly astronomy and physics with 4 Nobel Laureates, and the only public school to receive funding from NASA. With a beautiful campus at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, CU has a lively atmosphere with people from many different social backgrounds.

    CU at Boulder is a great place to get an education, with the beautiful Rocky Mountains only minutes away for camping, climbing, hiking, skiing. CU professors and instructors encourage analytical and critical thinking and expression--you don't necessarily have to agree with their position, you just have to be able to support your argument. CU offers clubs, student government, and support groups for a wide variety of issues and subjects.
