University of Colorado Boulder

The stately, majestic campus of one of the great universities of the American West. I must admit that I'm a little biased toward Colorado Boulder, having grown up in the Colorado front range region, but returning to this campus, I am even more impressed by its magnificence and its sprawling beauty than I was when I was younger. The campus is a wonderful, lively place to wander around and explore, seeing a variety of new sites ranging from a scale model of the solar system to a lovely little prairie like area that has carrots growing in it. This is a place that feels constantly surprising, and it's never boring when you are walking through it, yet the campus feels remarkably unified. Despite the differences in when the buildings were constructed, they all feel cohesive, and they all have that specific reddish-brown stone color that glows in the mountain sunlight, making the campus look both like a site for true learning and comprehension and a distinctly Colorado place that could not exist anywhere else. I highly recommend coming here if you are in the area, and if you are considering going to the University of Colorado Boulder, I guarantee you that you will enjoy your time at this campus.

Students at a football game were completely inhumane in the things they said to me. I‘m not a player, and yet they were saying disgusting things from slurs to threats. This is not a school that teaches morals of any kind. I am one of many, many people that experienced the same thing. If you want your child to become a decent human being, this is not the place for them.

Beautiful campus! Spent time here in the summer. See the photos. They have a space exhibit at old main, a planetarium, an observatory, and many other things to see and do. The buildings all share a unified stone and red tile them on the roof. They also do walking tours.

One of the most beautiful campuses I have visited. Spectacular landscape with mountains on the side, and the buildings are uniquely colored due to locally sourced limestone. Highly recommend for few hours to be spent here to anyone passing by Boulder.

Our son is a student at CU Boulder and we couldn't be more happy with his decision to be a buff. A fantastic academic institution with a diverse student population and (in my opinion) the prettiest campus in the world. Absolutely love the place!

My experience is not the best, public university, a jungle. Low level of education because if the classes are too big you don't learn anything. There have been several incidents in the last years. There are better solutions, though "more expensive" and "prestigious", like University of Denver, prestigious and recognized, then School of Mines, in sweet Golden.

Surrounded by mountains and greenery, an awesome place to get your degree from!! Wintery days are gloomy but the mountains compensate for those once snow starts. The temp in peak winter (Feb-March) drops to as low as -25 degree C (-13 F). The spring brings a new life to the place and the beauty gets enhanced by blooming flowers all around.

I cannot personally attest to the academics here, but the campus was beautiful. I have two mates that go here, and they seem to really enjoy it if that counts for anything. The Front Range gets over 300 days of sun per year, and that is reflected in the red tile roofs and solar panels gracing them, very progressive of Colorado-Boulder. Worth a visit if in the area or hoping to enroll in the university, though one should note that it's a good distance away from Denver International Airport, and transportation should be arranged if you would like to make decent timing there since using public transport includes taking several busses and transfers.

This school is for rich, party-focused Californians who don’t care about their education and/or couldn’t get accepted anywhere else out of state. I escaped as soon as possible to CSU in Fort Collins.

Beautiful Place, weather can be moody. Best coffee on campus is at the Laughing Goat, Norlin Library
