[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My older sister went to CU and DD goes to CSU, I have friends who went to Denver.

I get the impression that Denver is a more "professional" school, with students focused more on career prep than the "college experience".

My sister loved CU, and got an excellent education there (she's a scientist).  However, we were turned off when DD visited the campus - we found it too large and impersonal, with kind of a "you'll attend CU and you'll LIKE IT!" vibe.

If your kid is more interested in the idea of living in Colorado than which specific school they attend, take a look at CSU.  My daughter loves it there, and there aren't as many trustafarian "bro brah" types running around. :D

How large is Colorado State? Isn’t Fort Collins very conservative? I’m not being snarky, I’ve never been to Colorado so I’m just asking out of curiosity.[/quote]
NP. I’m from Colorado. Colorado State is about 26K undergrads. Fort Collins isn’t conservative. It’s more moderate than the hipster, activisty vibe of Boulder, but it’s not “very conservative.” You may be thinking of Colorado Springs. Now that is a conservative town- huge military presences as well as being home of organizations like Focus on the Family.

Very rough comparison: CU Boulder is to UVA as CSU is to Tech. [/quote]
