Hello yall. What’s the best way to meet people and get out if not in Greek life. It’s been hard so far so just looking for some opinions.
One of my long term friends lives in bear creek will vill and their roommate is absolutely vile. It has gone on too long and reached a breaking point of disgust that I dare not utter for the more squeamish people who may read this (bodily fluids/waste), but the point is, the roommate is a legitimate health hazard on top of being disgusting at this point and I want to help my friend know who to email about this problem in order to switch rooms.
Obviously the RA should be emailed, but who else? Is there any chance they wouldn’t be able to switch rooms after this? How do I ensure I can get my friend out of this environment? Any help is appreciated
I checked my admissions checklist this morning and it said I needed to contact my admissions counselor because they are seeking additional information. Has anyone had this before? If so how do I prepare?
Hello everyone, I am a senior that lives in Kansas (17M) who is interested in the architecture majors and programs. I plan to apply to many scholarships and I already have my college essay finished. I have a 2.9 GPA but my grades are good this year and i'm anxious for the new semester GPA updates. I'm taking 4 AP classes, all of which I have decent grades in. I am aware my GPA is poor but I plan to study hard for the ACT test along with continuing to maintain good grades.
I feel pressured to apply now to get everything done but I want to get my grades and test scores up first. I am somewhat concerned about it, what should my strategy be? I am also keeping in touch with my counselor about any concerns that I have.
(I also have participated in advanced orchestra and music related activities for all 4 years of highschool, how effective will this be on my transcript?)
My applications checklist said to reach out to an admissions counselor….. what does that mean?
Not seeing much on Handshake. Does anyone have any recommendations for part time jobs off campus that don’t involve retail or back breaking labor?
I'm sure everyone remembers the lawsuit brought against Fourstar last year and you'd think they would be better but I guess not. From my security deposit they have withheld money for things like undisclosed rekeying and a ridiculous amount for carpet cleaning and are asking me and my friend to pay $500 on top of the nearly $2000 security deposit. I was wondering if there are other people out there encountering similar charges.
Just stumbled upon a TikTok with North Face brining out some big puffer looking box saying Be on the look out CU. I’m wondering if anyone has some insight on it. Hoping for some cold weather gear CU merch.
Has anyone else had a run-in with the Hare Krishna people on campus lately? I’ve seen them a lot around the Engineering Center and other busy spots, and it’s getting ridiculous. They aren’t just handing out books anymore — they’re being super pushy, almost forcing people to take them and then asking for donations right after. It feels like you can’t just say no and walk away without being guilt-tripped or harassed into giving money.
I get that everyone has a right to practice their beliefs, but this feels really uncomfortable and inappropriate, especially on a campus where we should feel free to walk around without being hassled.
Has anyone reported this to the university or campus security? What do y’all think should be done? It’s starting to feel like a real problem, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s been cornered by them.
Let me know if you’ve had a similar experience or any thoughts on how we can stop this!
Is there any active GC for CSCI 2270? Would love to collaborate with anyone who’s in that class rn
Any tips from people who have already taken it would be great too
I just applied to transfer from my local CC into CU Boulder about two weeks again in the spring. I had a somewhat ok high school gpa but I took about 15 credit hours in high school at my local cc and I very badly in a lot of those classes. I had to submit two transcripts one from HS and one for CC even though this is technically my first real semester( I have all A’s and I explained that in the academic essay). Are my DE classes going to be group with my HS classes? How will this affect my admission?
i’m transferring into spring 2025 as a first year in exploratory through a channel abroad program. i heard that housing is limited for transfers and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this? please let me know thx!
Hi ya'll,
I'm hoping to graduate a little earlier than I first anticipated, so I was wondering: do CE (online) classes count as "On the Boulder Campus" for purposes of the school's residency credit requirement for the College of Arts and Sciences?
Thanks!
Anyone else a summer grad for 2024? Did yall get your diploma in the mail yet? I have been calling registrar every once and a while but I've been going straight to voicemail.
So, I already applied to CU Early Action. However, realizing it is hard to get into the Mechanical Engineering program. If I get denied to that program can I still be admitted to Boulder as a whole? Just wondering, thanks!
Does when you apply on a rolling basis applicant at Cu Boulder matter?
hello there,
How much time does the graduate program in CTD take up during a week? While looking at the sample schedules at the ATLAS homepage I noticed that only three courses (each with 3 credit points) are suggested per semester.
Do these three courses still take up the whole week? I studied in Germany for my Bachelors and I am used to 5-6 courses during one semester
best
Marvin
Hey Buffs,
I wanted to share info about the Culture Crawl this Wednesday! Stop by any of the 17 events happening throughout the day across campus and learn about CU Boulder Arts and Culture. Free tees are available at all of the events and a few will have food (including an international candy tasting).
A lot of fun things going on. Check it out here: https://libraries.colorado.edu/culture-crawl
I recently graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Telecommunications from an Arabic university, but I’m interested in applying for an MS in Computer Science at CU Boulder. I have a few questions:
I would really appreciate any advice or insights. Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to respond—I’m incredibly grateful!
I'm a local reporter for Boulder Reporting Lab. We know the owner of Ash House has already negatively impacted students this year, now we are trying to learn more about last year. Has anyone had a bad experience living at Ash House in the past: Broken leases, unfulfilled maintenance requests, unannounced construction, that kind of thing?
We would be interested to learn anything you're willing to share.
If you don't want to respond in this thread, we also have an anonymous Google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScPN_lQ39q3Z8wR5_X-oOjNvXGR_jISofxtYCq0pK1GMvoJ2Q/viewform?usp=sf_link

I’m a senior undergraduate student graduating next May. I’m interested in cu law and I was wondering what the culture is like at this school. How are the classes, professors, other students, tuition etc? Also how is it like for law students to live on campus?
I emailed my info over a week ago and haven’t heard back yet. It’s my first time using this and I’m curious how long it typically takes to hear back so I don’t resend my info and annoy someone. Thanks!
what time is the best time to go to the rec if i want to encounter as little people as possible
