Fall colors in autumn, powder snow in the winter, leafy green trees in the summer, theater presentations, science lectures, music in excellent venues, and a faculty with 4 nobel prize winners.
What a beautiful campus! The architecture, landscaping, and location are all very impressive. With the Rocky Mountains as a backdrop and Boulder Creek running thru the campus, CU is a nature lovers paradise. I could've never gone to school here because it would've been impossible for me to go to class. Totally worth a visit tho.
Great campus to visit. Lots of photo ops..... There is also a Natural Science Museum you can visit for free!Great for kids there is lots of dinosaur artifacts. Check website for opening hours.
A top ranked college with a beautiful atmosphere. Very easy to get around. No car is needed. What a great learning experience.
While not looking at the college specifically, we did drive and walk around the campus (so very pretty!) and attended a UC v. Washington football game (super fun!). Work a drive by just to see the distinctive architecture and mountains that surround it
The location of this beautiful campus could not be any better. The backdrop is the Rocky Mountains with the Flatirons prominently visible. Many students and tourists climb the steep rocks for a challenge. The architecture of the buildings is Tuscan style with new buildings maintaining the theme. As you walk around the campus, it's size becomes apparent. It is quite large but the style is quite unified. Don't miss walking up to The Hill where the students hang out for food and socializing. It is also apparent that there are outstanding world class departments at the university. For example, the Physics Department has had four Nobel prize winners and the Geological Sciences Department was ranked second in the World! Wow!
It's HUGE! We could only see a few buildings in the time that we had. I'm sure if we saw more buildings, I could've rated it higher.
I guess it's pretty nice to study in such school, nice neighborhood which provides many residence for fraternity/sorority house, really interesting names though. Parking is not that easy to find, since the roads are pretty narrow
The University is made up of many red stone buildings and with the flatirons and a background it is very impressive. The grounds are fun to walk around.
Two places you must visit on campus-- the Norlin Library (the stacks in particular), and the Museum of Natural History. Norlin Library is a fantastic maze-like library I used to love to find nooks to study in when I attended. The stacks are especially fun. There are several levels that become dead-silent the deeper you go. It's a good way to peruse and spend a couple hours if you're a book lover.The museum has a suggested donation of $3 for non-CU adults, but this small, manageable museum is worth the visit. They have rotating exhibits, but my favorite area was the cafe/study area. They have antique furniture to rest in that's surrounded by dinosaur skulls, insect collections, and other oddities. Plus, if you're lucky, there might be free hot tea awaiting you as well. Good place to meander or hunker down with a book for an hour. And it's a great study spot for CU students tired of the hustle-and-bustle of the library or the UMC.
