I plan to apply EA and I need a full scholarship

Hello all! I am considering a transfer application for the fall of 2025, and want some student perspectives on if you think I’m competitive for the application process.

I’m a freshman at CSU studying Psychology with the hopes of becoming a counselor and possible a clinical psychologist.

GPA 4.18 Class rank 8 of 62 SAT 1220 (don’t plan on reporting) 7 AP courses, mostly history, and social sciences. 6 4’s and 1 3 2 concurrent enrollment college courses

I earned a prestigious full ride scholarship called Daniel’s Fund. CC is a partner school with DF so it would be a full ride guaranteed.

I was heavily involved in high school through several student government organizations, theater, knowledge bowl, and a few service things for my local church.

I have some strong references from both professors and high school teachers.

Writing is my strongest subject and so I think my essays will hopefully be strong. I can share them once finished if anyone is interested in reading them and providing feed back!

Just want some honest feedback and insight from admitted CC students. I didn’t even know about it until after enrolling here, and now that I do know about it, I think it would be a great place for me. Thanks for reading!

I live in Cali and was looking at this college because of family

I haven't heard anyone talking about this college 💀

Hey guys, Transfer student coming to CC this fall. As I am very excited to get to campus I cannot seem to get the proper accommodations through the access ability office. I have a lot of dietary restrictions and will not be alble to eat in the cafateria. I can’t eat out, and I could not eat at the cafateria of my old school who also used Bon Appetit. With this I obviously need my own kitchen to cook for myself but accommodations will not give it to me or excuse me of meal plans! I have sent to many emails all summer and sent every price of documentation I have. Does anyone have advice or also had issues with accommodations???

Hey fellow college students! I can relate when it comes to taking advantage of all the free stuff that's offered to students. I wanted to throw a little extra free stuff to you all. I'm a student at CCD in Denver Co and I'm offering free teeth cleanings at my school. 😊 They're totally free no B.S. or nothing to sign up for. I'm a student and we offer these free cleanings to other students, veterans, and seniors for free! Even if you know someone who isn't any of those things it's still only about $30 for a cleaning with x-rays, an exam, and fluoride (if you want it.) We also do deep cleanings so if its been awhile since you've seen a dentist this is an awesome opportunity. Or if you have periodontal disease and just need your routine cleaning. My school offers it all and I love helping people out with it. Totally judgment free, stress free, and we don't try and sell you anything. Oral health is crucial to your overall health! DM me and I'd love to get you scheduled! I need patients ASAP and I love what I do so come and see me! Also feel free to share this with your friends and family and other students! 😊 🪥🪥🦷

I am an incoming freshman to CC and some people keep talking about something called “The Hunt”. HUH?

i'll be at cc this fall and worry about taking stem classes on the block plan. how has it been for other students? do yall like it?

Hello! I am a junior in hs looking at CC. I am interested in a CS degree with a focus on AI. I have done quite a bit of personal research in AI, and I would like to continue researching through college. Does anyone have experience with the computer science program? Is it any good for AI? Can I continue my research here?
Thanks!

Incoming freshman here. I’m really excited for the block plan, but I was just wondering what it’s like from the student perspective on a day to day basis. How much of your day is spent studying and in class? How fast paced are the courses? What is the classroom setting like? Is there any advice you would give to an incoming student on how to succeed academically? I would really appreciate detailed responses, thanks!

can current students tell me the things they personally hate about cc or things they were shocked by?

i got transfers for cc and bu and have questions regarding the culture and social life there.

what do students do for fun usually? on the weekends is it frat parties, bars or..?

would you label a lot of the kids snobby? or that the cc lifestyle is expensive?

Hi! My Daughter is starting at Colorado College Fall of 2024. I’m hoping to find a family from Colorado Springs who has a student starting at CU Boulder who would be into swapping houses periodically. Let me know if anyone is interested!

Kind of a random question but i was just wondering if any of the big 3 halls have a reputation of being the party hall (between mathias, loomis, and south)

just trying to figure out which hall would be best for me. I already know i’m going to spend all my free time partying, so i def wanna get in the dorm that will give me most access to parties!

Hi! I am a pre-med transfer student that leaving a medium sized party school and looking for a more supportive, liberal arts education.

Colorado College: PROS: In Colorado!! Block Plan which could allow for easy study abroad opportunities, CONS: Not considered as prestigious as Wes

Wesleyan: PROS: Have family in CT and always dreamed of being east coast as a kid, prestigous and well ranked CONS: probably not as fun as Colorado College? Not sure what the pre-med experience is like at Wes. Have to apply to majors??

Colgate: one of my best friends goes here and I'm not really trying to follow her to a school. but also is a wonderful opportunity and a kind of a happy medium between the other two.

all these schools give off pretty similar vibes. lmk if you anyone has any insight!!

Anyone graduating or know anyone graduating that could spare a couple tickets? Happy to pay for them, we have a big family that’s looking to have just a couple more guests for the ceremony. It’s my understanding that we can do a transfer via Ticketmaster.

Thanks in advance and please DM me!

Cheers

The Colorado Pledge makes CC a possibility for us. I'm hoping to hear about what the experience of attending CC might be like for someone from a middle income family, who also holds other marginalized identities. How difficult might it be for them to find their people?

so i'm applying to transfer and was wondering what the block plan would look like if i took a science class with a lab requirement. any insight?

hi! i just got accepted into cc (yay!) as a winter start :) what's the general opinion of the program? is it hard to get into the swing of things once you're on campus? is trying to study abroad worth it? would people who've been through it recommend it? any information/opinions people can give would be greatly appreciated!

Just wanting to eat at Rastall or Benji’s but I’m not sure if I can get in without swiping a gold card

hi everyone! as i'm awaiting my cc decision i wanted to ask, how difficult is it being a stem major at cc? i want to major in bio and i understand all majors are hard to different degrees but i was worried about the school/life balance after hearing that stem majors have labs on top of their normal class hours. are these labs an extra 2-3 hours after the lunch break everyday? and is it difficult to be very involved in clubs considering the school workload? what are some ways you manage the workload / any advice?

The campus and school life look so nice!

Hey, I recently got admitted to Colorado College with Questbridge. I am very excited to learn more about the campus and wanted to ask you all a couple of questions.
+Was the block plan confusing to adapt to?
+What is there to do outside of Campus?
+Do you travel a lot because of the block plan?

Sorry for the long post

This was not my original plan, but I am moving from Southern California to Denver Colorado next month (November). I am a confident driver who has driven large/unconventional vehicles on roads that most people would not be comfortable driving. I am a confident driver, but I have virtually no experience driving in snow. While I am confident, I am nervous about driving my Subaru outback with a U-Haul trailer (for my first time) through the mountains on the 70. If I was doing this during the spring or summer I know I’d be able to do it but since it is winter, I don’t think I’d be able to drive on the steep and winding mountain roads while there is snow and ice. Does anyone have any advice or knowledge of if it would be less snowy and safer, if I took the longer route. What I would end up doing is drive through Nevada to Arizona then up through New Mexico, and the bottom of Colorado on the highway 24. On the Google Maps app it seems like I would be driving around the east side of the rocky mountains. Would it be worth it to go that far out of the way and what I actually be avoiding heavily snowy areas or should I just suck it up and drive through the 70? My car is all wheel drive and I do have pretty heavy duty chains but I really don’t want to crash my car or get stuck. Am I being unnecessarily cautious?

Disclaimer: I am aware of the price, please don’t talk about the price.

I am a colorado native and I am looking at a few schools. Cu boulder, CSU, oregon, the rest of the colorado schools, and of course colorado college.

I was wondering what life at colorado college is really like. What a typical day looks like, what the social stuff is like, parties, campus life, homework, etc etc. I was also wondering what is different about life at cc compared to a big school like cu boulder. The other big question was just how the block plan effects life and how that works. Feel free to talk about whatever you want people considering cc to think about, I just want the most info possible. Thank you!
