Trinity College, smack in the heart o' the GHETT-O.

Cant: Gonzo is a proud alumnus of Colby. I assume that you are core and ski the loaf, not a sell-out Sunday River vageener. Nothing puts hair on your chest like screaming out of class at 10:00 to catch the 11:30 superquad and ski blue ice in sub-arctic temperatures all afternoon; grin frozen firmly in place. I taught at the Loaf and have a lot of love for that place.

The most important thing if you go to CU is to pick a major. Dont drift around otherwise you'll end up taking 6 years to graduate, and who wants to do that?

Wait until your senior year, rookie.

Exception that proves the rule, O' bitter one!

CC girl I used to know in Crested Butte couldn't find a place to rent for the season, so she just BOUGHT one. Her friends didn't even flinch. In fact, on thought it was such a good idea she did the same thing!

CC graduate here....
I thought it was a great school. the block plan worked great for me. School for three hours a day, 9-12, unless you are the science-type, then it is a lot more. I wasn't. Like pinner said, a very cool aspect of the block plan is that you only have one class at a time, so if there is a better place to learn about something, you get in vans and go there.
C. Springs is a weird city, but CC is a little bubble inside of it where you don't much have to deal with the outside world, for better or worse, i am still not sure.
It's a great school, i had lots of fun and learned a lot.
As far as a comparison to Boulder, it kinda comes down to big school vs. small school. Do you want to know your professors and get to talk to them 1 on 1 whenever you have a question, or talk to a prof's assistant (see... i dont even know what they are called).
Also, the liberal arts kinda thing at CC gives you a pretty broad perspective as you have to take classes like....ummmm, oh yeah "Freedom and Authority" for 7 weeks
And its true, there are lots of rippin' chicks there, lots of skibums, lots of climbing freaks, everything. If you do it right, you get a good education and a hell of a lot of free time to do whatever suits your fancy.
As far as East Coast schools, you should go to one if you like long grey winters. Colorado Springs has 300 days of sunshine a year, but the mountains aren't that far away.

I'm dating myself here, but indeed I took the FIRST class he taught at CC-- Principles, naturally. Then I took his inaugural enviro econ class my vey last block. He gave me the world's best gift ever by passing me that Block.
