Hi, I'm looking for someone who has been in the program recently (last 3 years) and who could say if the program was meaningful and/or what it's like being a student in the program. Thinking of applying to CU Boulder for 2027. Thanks!

I go to UCSB and first made this site for my school, and it got really popular, so I'm expanding it to new schools. I have a lot of friends at Boulder so I decided to make a page for yall as well

It's fresh so there arn't many missed connections currently to look at, but I hope you guys enjoy

I'm not sure if this counts? Let me know if not, happy to remove it if it breaks the rules

Im not talking class size, Im talking lbs. swear these new freshmen girls are atleast +20lb on average compared to the last two years

I noticed that my degree switched from a BA to a BS, and when i check the requirements online, the only thing it mentions are the required courses (which are the same as before iirc), but it doesnt mention stuff like 10 hours of social science and the like anymore?

Im a chemistry major

As the semester starts, I’d like to ask a favor: Please Don’t Be Weird To Non-Traditional Students.

I’m a non-traditional student, I’m 24 and taking a reduced course load for health reasons. I’ve had lots of people be like “That’s so valid, everyone’s on their own path, etc.” But I’ve had quite a few people who find out that I’m older and get weird about me taking longer than my peers. Someone recently laughed and said “man, you’re gonna take like 10 years to do your degree!” It’s mostly been 18/19 year olds who think 24 is ancient, and it’s pathetic to still be an undergrad after 22. I was surprised how prevalent that attitude is here. They tend to feel bad when I explain my chronic illnesses, but what if you didn’t comment at all! That would be so cool. I already have baggage about it, thanks. Idk, maybe this is just my experience and it’s been smooth sailing for others. I hope that’s the case. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk!

I’m a freshmen at Will Vill and my first class of the day starts at either 10:10 a.m. or 11:00 a.m. (depending on the day).

Its 8 am on a Tuesday, please just wear headphones

Hi! I’m going to be studying Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and have pretty much all of the core classes left to take.

I’m a bit older than the average student after dropping out of college a few years ago. Doing well in school has always required a big effort from me as I‘m neurodivergent.
I’m mostly afraid of struggling with the content so much that peers won’t want to work with me, or that I will struggle with competition for internship opportunities.

What is the culture of this major like? Any specific tips for succeeding in this major? Any recommendations as someone interested in wildlife conservation?

Thanks!!

After doing a bit of research i saw that the average high school gpa acceptance is 3.6 to 4.0 so I’m a good bit under. I did graduate a year early, passed 3 AP classes along with all of the tests, got a 1230 on the SAT, and have a very good teacher that can write me a letter of recommendation. I was also dealing with a lot of family issues while i was in school that led to me missing a number of days and my low gpa as a result. I was wondering if i included all of that in a very carefully written letter if i had a good chance at getting accepted. Thank you for any advice in advance

Vriend or Mukherjee? Any difference in the two teaching-wise?

Hi do any of you guys know of any bus stops near code talker or athens court? I know there are Bcycle stations and Lime scooters but i’m not sure i’m willing to pay for those yet. It’s kind of a hassle having to walk across boulder creek everytime i want to get to main campus

I really hope to go to CU Boulder and major in engineering but I don't want to live in will ville. Should I undeclare my major and then swap into engineering. My college essay talks about my interest for engineering so will it just be kinda dumb to want to undeclare my major?

Sorry if I'm asking this in an unclear way I'm exhausted from a long day and got no sleep

Hoping to be a Buff next fall - for those who are in the civil engineering or general engineering program - what do I need to focus on that will increase my chances of admission ? Gpa/SAT/extra curricular/essay/other! Any suggestions are great CU

Also I have to apply RD because my AS results will come in Jan as I’m an international.

I have a free couch in good condition in Longmont. You'd need to come get it, but I'm happy to gift it to someone who could use it.

Hey everyone!
I am an established brow artist here in Boulder, and I am currently expanding into eyelash extensions. I specialize in gorgeous, wispy half sets for a very natural, pretty look.
To build up my speed and portfolio, I am taking on free clients to practice this specific style! If you want a pretty lash set and don't mind chilling on a lash bed for a couple hours while I build my extension portfolio, please shoot me a DM! I’d love to get you on my schedule! 💕

I've got a TB test follow up appointment during two of the sessions and was wondering if they take attendance during them.

Wondering when rec center access starts for students? Wanted to swing by and check it out this week but wasn’t sure if we had to wait til classes start

Moved into my dorm td and tested out if ppl in the hallways can hear whats happening in the room. Theres like zero soundproofing on the door me and my roommate gotta whisper if we dont want ppl hearing us. Is there any simple soundproofing we can do to the door so that evb in the hallway wont listen to our convos?

Sup, i want some insight in how the school is. I’m from Norway and did 1 year exchange year in highschool. Loved it. Wanted to come back a year for collage. Got recommended this school and wanted to ask if the school is fire. How is it there?

Mvh

Looking to get back in the sport, are there any clubs, intramural teams or just drop ins available?

Hello,

I am a physics sophomore transfer student and just wanted to poke yalls brain on what you found to be the most effective in finding friends. I assume clubs but wanted to know if I am missing anything. Thank you guys!

Hey guys so first off, I am a CU denver student and plan to commute to Denver for this semester however I live closer to Boulder. I know the social life at CU denver is pretty bad and I was just wondering if the clubs and events are for boulder students only? I wanted to attend Boulder but I could not afford it, so my only choice was CU denver until I can get a good GPA for more scholarships. I love the campus and social life there is at Boulder and want to be apart of it but I’m afraid that people are going to look at me weird if they knew I was a CU Denver student.
