[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Idiots, the OP asked about what Colorado Springs and Denver campuses are like,  NOT Boulder.  The PP's response was about BOTH (CS and D) being commuter schools, compared to Boulder, which they are. Get an f'ing clue!! [/quote]

I'm so sorry to break this to you. But YOU are wrong. If you first read the title of the post, it is "University of Colorado BOULDER vs. Colorado Springs vs. Denver." That is 3 things, and yes they did mention Boulder. In addition, if you re-read the question, it states:

"Does anyone have any experience with any of these? Is there an academic difference or variablility among THE THREE? I know Boulder is bigger and is the "main" one, as reflected by the significantly higher OOS tuition, but is there a real differentiator in the quality of UG education?"

So in the title, and in the question, THREE schools are mention, not two. They also ask about the ACADEMIC difference, not if one or more are commuter schools. You are rude, obnoxious, and as evidenced by your post, clearly cannot read. The next time you feel like it's appropriate to lash out at someone on an anonymous site, why don't you go back and make sure that it's not YOU who needs to get an f'ing clue?[/quote]

Wow. Hint: read the second post on the thread. The entire point of contention here is the community/commuter college thing - this is introduced in the second post, where that PP says "They are both basically [commuter] colleges. Only 16% of undergrads live on campus at CS and they don't even have dorms for Denver."

It is pretty frightening that you are needing this to be broken down for you so much. I am a NP and this will be my only attempt, because of you are unable to understand after this I'm not sure that there is any hope. Here we go: 
-OP is saying (s)he knows that Boulder is the main campus, but asking is there any real difference in terms of quality of education as compared to the others?
-PP then chimes in and (echoed by other PPs) says the other two are essentially commuter campuses, no one really lives on campus and it's an entirely different experience. (For evidence that the "commuter college" comment was regarding the Denver and CS campuses, see above ("both", etc.))
-you then pop in and start aggressively defending the boulder campus / college town experience, and arguing that it's not a commuter college
-other PPs tell you that's not relevant; everyone knows Boulder is the main campus and is definitely a college town experience and is just great
-you become angry and combative
-other PPs try to help you understand the disconnect
-you write this last post showing out very clearly are not comprehending 
-I pop in with a last-ditch attempt
And scene!
