Towering trees, green lawns and historic buildings. Several museums. Open air Shakespeare plays during the summer. Might find a music dept concert when there. The new C4C dorm restaurant offers a huge variety of foods at a fixed price and is open to the public. Seek it out. More

I love going to CU Boulder for ballgames or just driving through campus because it is so beautiful. They also have a great planetarium with shows for the public. More

Took tour with my daughter who is a junior in HS in Illinois for a tour of CU. Orientation person was interesting, former student, very articulate but professionalism was a bit lacking for several reasons compared to other college tours I have attended with my son when he was touring colleges. The campus is wonderful and the view is awesome.... More
