Jump for Joy

Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

The climate, social opportunities, intense academics, and the chance to become involved in a variety of activities (even as a first-year student) sways visitors within moments of stepping onto Colorado College's campus. Incoming students and those planning to apply should drop in for a visit, either for the day or overnight.

More than most other colleges, CC earns respect from its current students and graduates for the training it provides in many areas that serves students well throughout their careers. Aside from social and academic elements, CC brings amazing speakers and activities to campus. Better yet, with all the grants and funding available for student projects, rarely a night passes without a student giving a presentation about his or her adventures hiking in Tibet, helping immigrants survive at the U.S.-Mexico border, or interning in the Antarctic. It’s possible to get an education nearly anywhere, but to get a real educational experience, CC is a perfect choice.

You Can Find What You Want

whether its weed, coke, or or just getting high on life if you are determined, or even if your not particularly determined and just ask, you can find whatever you want. Depending on who you hang out with there is no pressure to do anything and there's no real judgement if you do. I will say CC kids do like their casual weed but i'd guess that's true at every outdoorsy type liberal arts college.

Psychology

Early psychology classes were a little difficult to get into; everyone at CC wants to take intro. to psych. since you get to train your own rat. However, once you get past your 100 level classes, you will have no problem getting into the courses you need and want. As a senior psychology major, you are required to complete a thesis project and present it at a poster day at the end of the year. You get to choose the topic of your work though, and completing a thesis project looks great for grad. school.

Work Hard, Play Hard

Because CC is such a competitive school, everyone at CC is very smart. Students are all pretty down-to-earth and, in general, they tend to lean left. Students work really hard during the week, and party hard on the weekends. Hardly a weekend goes by without a themed off-campus party thrown by seniors. Most students find themselves at one of these at least once a block. The dating scene is minimal at CC - serious relationships seem to be a rarity. However, you will have no problem meeting intelligent, interesting people with whom you'd like to spend more time.
