Alot of bratty spoiled kids there, and the party scene includes the same ratty bars all the time. I came from Connecticut and I definitely didn't come to CO to live in Denver. Boulders definitely sweeter.

$30,000 a year can buy a very nice education experience.

DU is private. so yeah no such things as instate. Boulder is better for partying, Mines for academics, unless your into liberal arts. I believe there is better educations though to be had for cheaper.

if you can't get the out of state waiver, public schools can be just as much as private schools, or pretty near. for example, it would have costed me 16,000 a year to go to Pacific Lutheran with my scholarships. The university of washington is about that much and it's public, and that's in state.

I have heard amazing things about DU as far as education goes. Boulder is only 30 minutes away if it's partying you're worried about, although Denver has a much more diverse night life. It all depends on what you want, DU is a smaller school so you would get more personal attention, but you would meet more people at CU. It's a decision that should be based on your personality, but it's true that DU is less expensive for out of state kids.

^^Uh...NO. Boulder has one of the highest costs of living in the United States. Where exactly are you planning on living for free? Plan on spending upwards of $750 a month for a halfway decent place to live off campus. That doesn't include food and probably not even utilities, so it is at least $1,000 a month to live off campus. Also many leases are for a full year so that adds up too. That $20,000 is still at least $10,000 too low.

Spend $1000 a month on a place to live, and you're too stupid to be in college. You can find much cheaper places to live here. In addition, nobody can give their opinion unless they go to CU, otherwise they're talking out of their ass.

listen up bitches.
it's $36,375 including tuition, room, and board to go to DU for one year regardless of in/out of state. damn private schools.
it's $28,372 including tuition, room, and board for an out of state student to attend CU.
it's $3696 for just tuition for a year for those in-staters at CU. that's damn cheap and is why I go to CU.

Ok so my point was that there is no way CU out of state is $20,000 if you live off campus

If you aren't a complete dumbass, you can find places to live in Boulder that are TIGHT for around 500 a month off the hill, and about 6-700 for on the hill.

Or you could come to Bishop's, get an equal, if not better, education for a fraction of the tuition costs (mine is aprox 5000 dollars a year, Canadian). The most expencive rez at B.U. is $500 a month (the least expencive is $350) and good off campus housing runs an avrage of about $375 a month. the whole area is littered with ski hills and the drinking age is 18. At those prices and those benifits, i cant see how people would want to not come here!

Is finding a place in Boulder going to be hard to find? I am looking for a 1 bedroom preferably, but 2 bedroom, as close to campus as I can get.

no, you'll be able to find a place pretty easy in boulder, just get on it now. if you wait right before school starts you may have some trouble.
