Tell It Like It Is
If you're interested in attending the University of Colorado, you should already know that. . .
* Fifteen of CU-Boulder's alumni have become members of NASA's team of astronauts.
* The popular South Park character "Chef" is loosely based on one of the actual cooks in Sewall Dining Hall. Check it out for yourself. The resemblance is uncanny!
* Boulder Colorado, where the campus is located, has one of the largest per capita concentrations of Buddhists outside of Tibet.
* The University was ranked fourth among the 50 "most architecturally successful campuses in the country."
* Fatty J's serves up some the best pizza in town.
But if you're headed to CU, I'm sure you've already done all your research and you've heard all of this already . . . right? Well maybe not, but the College Prowler guidebook to CU can clue you in on all the little things CU students already know, along with everything they think is important for you to make your college decision! Hear what they have to say on topics such as:

The local atmosphere
"Everyone is really chill here. I'm from New York (very close to the city), and it is a huge shock to see how laid-back these people are! You have to go on hikes; the views are amazing!"
"Some people love the liberal environment that encompasses Boulder, while others, like me, appreciate it, but often find it annoying. I drive an SUV here, and I'll never forget the time when some hippie put a bumper sticker on my car that read 'I don't care about the air.'"

Campus Dining
"Campus food is gross, and thestudent union pretty much sucks. Dining halls get repetitive, but after a while, you miss the whole on-campus dining experience."

"Sewell is known for their breakfast food, and the Farrand dining hall was recently renovated."

There are some things about a school that you can only get the unbiased truth on from the students themselves.
