What can you afford and what’s your child interested in?

Of course you can. You can compare admissions statistics, what people in the west think of the schools/reputations, that sort of thing. If you don't know, don't bother to post anything.

That's a response about the town, not the university.

Colorado College wasn't one of the OP questions. Thank you though, for offering some insight.

Boulder gives very little aid/merit. Beautiful, not close to skiing as you think though. Very expensive to live off campus.

My son went to Boulder for grad school and I didn’t get him back. He loved it and is staying.

Anybody have any insight into either school? DC just started talking about both, but I think the appeal is more in Colorado than the schools. I really don't know much about them in terms of academics and reputation, thought I'd reach out to DCUM and get the unvarnished truth.

Thanks.
