CU Boulder is arguably one of the "Most Beautiful Campuses" Anywhere

The majestic Flatirons of Boulder provide an impressive backdrop to the Univeristy of Colorado, Boulder's Farrand Field and Stadium Building.  Denver, just 30 miles east, offers students all the opportunties of a major city while the serenity and isolation of the Continental Divide is located just 30 miles north.  Exceptional programs include Journalism/Mass Communication, Engineering, Music and the Leeds School of Business. CU Boulder encourages significant study abroad travel and is considering making a global experience a graduation requirement. 

I know I've never seen as many bikes on a college campus before and skate and long boards are also very popular.  Students take advantage of their gorgeous environment, hiking and rock climbing in their backyard or road tripping to the 11 ski resorts within an easy 3 hour drive.   If food is important to you, you'd be hard pressed to find more extensive (and delicious!) dining hall options.  During lunch I sampled fresh rolled sushi, Persian food with incredible Nan, spring rolls and stir fry and Kosher Matzo Ball Soup.

Many of the residence halls feature an academic component which means that required courses are taught by full time faculty in a small classroom within your housing complex, typically capping at 25 students.  Cheyenne Arapaho is home to the new Health Professionals Residential Academic Building which just opened in fall, 2012. 

CU Boulder is known as a "Best Value" college claiming the second highest starting salary potential for undergrads, averaging $48,000.  There are clearly many reasons to take a second look at Boulder and consider becoming a "Buff"!
