So many of the best universities and colleges that I have visited have been too big to ignore. I’d much rather see the students who are really looking for an easy way to get away from their professors than the ones who have no place to start their majors.
CU Boulder seems to have this problem, but then again, its campus is really beautiful and the surrounding area is not. So maybe that’s what makes it appealing to students.
CU Boulder’s website is pretty good, but their online application process is not and is quite a few clicks away. I have no idea if I would want to apply, but I have no doubt I would be at least a little nervous about the process. The only real option is to call them and ask to see the application form, which is a long process and I would hate to do that if I was not absolutely sure I was qualified.
It seems like CU Boulder has a pretty good process for applying for classes. There is no application, and they do not require any kind of financial aid. All they ask for is a resume, a few questions, an email, and a few references. The only real way you can get in is to be a CU member for 6 months or be very close to becoming a CU member with enough points to get in.
It’s a great process, and I can see why CU would have a process like this. However, in our case, we have the money to pay for it, have our own apartment, and have a family to support. It is also a big help in that it gives us the freedom to do things like go to the grocery store since we know we can always borrow a car. It also allows us to get to know our professors and see what classes we might want to take.
Well, this is my first year as a CU member, and I am really glad that we found a way to make it work. First, it’s a great way to get a lot of money before university and show that we’re serious about higher education. There is a good chance that we can afford it, and it also allows us to show off our academic skills without having to worry about how to pay for them.
Of course, it also means that we’re not using the car right away, since we need to take a few courses. However, the fact that it’s a good, long-term solution for us shows that, in fact, we are serious about higher education. I’m also really happy that we have a car to begin with. It means that we won’t have to rely on that car for a lot of important things.
It’s amazing that CU Boulder is willing to allow a student to car-pool with his/her friends. Not only does this allow the student to continue to work on his/her classes until it’s necessary to leave the campus, but it also allows the students to continue to take advantage of all the great benefits offered to CU students by the company. For example, student loans are easily accessible.
The car is also great for students who don’t want to lug around a backpack or backpacker’s bag. This is possible because the car is so spacious and well-stocked with necessities, and it is also less expensive to borrow or buy a car. Students who are not as tech-savvy as the students you will be taking to CU in a few weeks will also appreciate the car’s flexibility.
The best thing about CU is that it’s one of the only schools that you can take classes from any time of day. You don’t have to be in class to get your classes. You can take them when you have a break from your full-time job, on the weekend, or wherever.
