      It's great advice though. I'm thankful I didn't go to college right after school because I'd probably be super in debt with a writing/english degree I wasn't really passionate about. wasn't until I was 25 that I realized what I actually wanted to do.

At least STEM, business and ECO majors can expect to be making close to six figures right out the gate, but I think an artist is better off spending that time perfecting their craft rather than getting into serious debt by taking classes that won’t help them that much.

    I love how he mentioned weather and as someone who is originally from the Midwest (Chicago area) but has lived in Colorado most of their life. The weather in Colorado even in the winter is always beautiful and sunny and awesome. If you are coming anywhere from the northeast or the Midwest or the south, the weather will be incredibly nicer because there’s little to no humidity and Colorado has over 250 days of sunshine a year. Only if you are from Southern California or Arizona would I say it’s a downgrade but other than that it’s awesome.

    CU boulder has a very fratty and douchey social scene full of pretentious Californians and Colorado natives that think everyone is below them if they're not in greek life. Basically, if you're a guy and not in greek life and you want to party, you're going to have a hard time here. Not many people will say that but it's true. CU Boulder is a very cliquey school and can be difficult for students outside of greek life to make a lot of friends. If you're not joining greek life be prepared to be an ultra extrovert if you want to thrive here. Other than greek life dominating the party scene it's a pretty great school. Great location, good academics, tons of outdoor activities, lots of clubs, huge party scene.

    I've lived away from home for almost a year, but travel was covered for my situation back then, as my 'gap' year comes to a close, I have to start thinking about making a living and attending in this August, and I'm very nervous about the finances alone. VERY nervous. Debt scares me, if I can manage financial aid and avoid loans, I'd feel so much better, but the drive alone to Boulder is driving anxiety out the roof, especially with how bad the roads got this past storm in the Southern half of Colorado, that wasn't hit nearly as hard as the Northern half.

    I kind of disagree about the food being mostly unhealthy.... Yes, if you go to Farrand, it's usually burgers, pizza, quesadillas, etc, but they also at Farrand have cooked vegetables. They often do sweet potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, (one time a vegetable sautee mix which was super super good, and kale salad). Also, CU Boulder has a lot of Vegan/Vegetarian options especially at the C4C and at Sewall. A lot of the time they will have tofu dishes, vegetarian pho/ramen, and vegetarian sushi rolls (I will admit, there are basic rice and spicy carrots, but quite delicious). I actually enjoy the food a lot here at CU and it's definitely better than your average college food! Also, I am surprised you didn't mention the Weather Tech Cafe, which is located down a floor from the C4C and stays open until like 2am and has yummy things!
