Has anyone here attended the University of Colorado? Opinions?

If accepted into STA-21 I am looking at applying to NROTC Colorado - possibly for Bio-Chemistry or Computer Science (both fields I have significant prior college credits in). Has anyone attended or lived close by? Best perk: Several DZs close by!

CU is a great school to attend; just a word of warning it's a liberal college and college town called the People's Republic of Boulder. I graduated in 95' from there and enjoyed my time there; just some of the professors were uber liberal to an extreme. It's a great school overall; sorry can't help with NROTC, though I trust those recommendations on it.

1992 Grad. I know both the out-going and in-coming XO's. I'd be happy to get you direct contact with either. Feel free to PM me as well.

Good luck ENS Private RallyPoint Member!

I grew up in Colorado and had a few friends go there for AFROTC. It's a great school with awesome science degrees. The AFROTC program there is top notch, so I'd assume NROTC is pretty good as well. But be warned, Boulder has the highest hippie population outside California, and you can smell weed almost anywhere you go. Also, it's Colorado's biggest party school, which might sound awesome but really just makes it a prime target for sexual assault scandals, especially when there's military members involved.
