    CU is relatively expensive, with tuition comparable to UC Berkeley and other top schools with arguably better education. It is especially expensive for out-of-state students, however, in state tuition is easy to petition for. Many students drop out or transfer due to the cost of tuition along with the high cost of living in Boulder, with the average rent being between $700-900 per person, per month. The positives are a beautiful campus and a culturally diverse city. The price can be more than worth it for those who can get the most from their experiences, and while it is expensive, it is not impossible to pay for.

    I love CU with all my heart, but like a lot of state colleges in Colorado these days, it's really freaking expensive.
