Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

There will be many times throughout the college experience when a student will question his decision and dwell on other possibilities. The University of Colorado-Boulder is a significantly large school where an incoming freshman will undoubtedly feel lost on the long and lonely walk to class. You will find yourself contemplating the benefits that a smaller school could have offered and wonder whether you made the right choice. But it isn’t hard to lose that in the amazing beauty of the campus and the kind, openness of the students, which makes it easy to find your place. As the years progress, you will notice more the value in choosing Boulder with the pure intention of skiing as many days as possible. Throughout your time spent at CU, you will ask if you have surrounded yourself with the right people. Later, when you are confronted with choosing a profession, serious criticism may be cast onto your once prized major.

Such questions will plague several students attending a number of universities, yet not all of them will find solace in knowing they spent four years studying in one of the most stimulating cities in the country. It is almost impossible to narrow the experience down to one deciding factor. There is not just one simple thing that separates CU from the countless number of universities that a student has to choose from. Yet, it could have something to do with the mountains. Being greeted every morning by Colorado’s towering terrain never fails to put an inflated ego into place. Looking down from the highest peak in Vail is more than a subtle reminder of the benefits of dedication. Even fresh Aspen air is capable of lifting the lowest spirits. You are given one life and one college experience. The knowledge you can gain at CU is immeasurable, but not everything in life can be based on an academic curriculum.

The Computers Are Great Resources!

The computers in computer labs are equipped with plenty of software that will allow you to do almost anything, provided you know how to use them. There are various workshops you can attend that teach things such as SolidWorks and Matlab, which is pretty cool. There is WiFi everywhere on campus (although it isn't always the fastest).

Rules Are in Place, but Not Followed.

Boulder is known for marijuana--everyone knows it. I have only visibily seen people smoking weed a few times, but I don't hang out with the party scene. I do smell it often, though.

SLHS Is the Reason I Chose CU

I decided on the University of Colorado at Boulder for the Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences major. I don't regret my decision as I'm provided with the highest quality courses and opportunities within the major. I do wish there were more majors and/or minors at the university (things like interior design) but I am not disappointed in my decision.
