[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's so exciting about CUB that so many from here are applying? Location?  Its a unremarkable, pricey (for OOS) school in a quirky town that is far away. Help me out here.[/quote]

It’s in a beautiful area, and it’s a pretty good school.  If you like outdoors activities it’s got to be super appealing.  Colorado is a great place to live.  My kid got accepted (very little merit) and it was #1 on her list until we visited.  For some reason she just didn’t like the campus and area.  Got a very strong “stoner bro” vibe from the place as well.  For me, I would have loved going there. [/quote]

My DC also got the same vibe. Also, CU's tour presentation was disappointing - I have seen better videos from high school students, and certainly better videos from other colleges. It was top of list until the visit and then it fell precipitously.  Plus Boulder is OK - but it's got its issues.  Nice to visit - but having to close (2!) public libraries in the vicinity close in the past month due to meth contamination in the bathrooms seems...problematic.  Maybe their data mining revealed DC's lackluster interest (or DC's essays weren't what they should have been) and is the reason DC didn't get merit - or maybe DC applied to a program that doesn't give much merit (Data Science/Stats in Arts & Science) - whatever the reason, it's of no import since DC was accepted elsewhere with merit to programs DC likes much better.[/quote]

Do you really think there wouldn’t be meth contamination if they swabbed library bathrooms in DC? Or anywhere in rural Virginia? [/quote]
