Does Colorado College have a bad reputation

Does Colorado College have a bad reputation?
Today I told my mom that I wanted to look at Colorado College as my top choice school, but she immediately put me down and said it had a reputation as a school for "rich flunkies who couldn't get in anywhere better." Is this true? I was attracted to the college for the block plan, beautiful location, and generally hearing good things about the education and people. I take AP and honors classes with about a 3.5 gpa and have a love of the outdoors so I thought it would be a good fit.

Outside of Colorado, I don't think it has any reputation. It is certainly not a well known or nationally recognized University so I would say it doesn't have any reputation, good or bad. Sorry.

is that a college?
5 :
Your mother is flat wrong on this issue. Colorado College is one of the finest schools in the USA and you could get an excellent education there. It is expensive. They accept about 25% of applicants - very competitive. Grads go on to all of the finest graduate programs - Yale, Stanford, Columbia, Princeton, etc. US News rates it as 24th nationally among liberal arts colleges.

How would I go about becoming a member of the Electoral College in Colorado

How would I go about becoming a member of the Electoral College in Colorado?
Please don't remind me about Amendment 36. I want to be an elector in the 2008 presidential election. How do I do that? I already know about 2004's Amendment 36 and the flaws associated with the Electoral College.

the electoral college is bad. I do not know how you can call it a vote of the people when its is going to be up to about 400 college members anyways.
3 :
To become an elector, you must be selected by your party or by the candidate, absent a party. The integrity of the selected people is to be above reproach. Without years and years of substantive conduct, there is little likelihood any person could be selected. Should you wish to become an elector, you must be accepted as a person of immense honor. My hope is that you can make it! Good luck.

What kind of college is the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs

What kind of college is the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs?
Is it a good college to study English or Psychology? And how does it compare to the University of Colorado at Boulder and the University of Colorado at Denver? And how difficult is it to get in?

I've always been a strong believer in the fact that it's still the University of Colorado so you're still getting an education that's basically the same as the other two places. At the Denver campus, it is more of a commuter campus, and a lot of students have jobs so teachers may be more sympathetic & patient with other circumstances. I personally wouldn't live in the student housing on the Denver campus, but then again I think I'm pretty picky and I know students who are pretty happy living there. Boulder is pretty hard-core, they really expect students to focus on their education, and walking on campus there I feel pretty lost, but I've never been a student there so I'm sure that explains it! It's a pretty expensive school & campus & town in general too. The Springs campus is really a good balance of both in my opinion. I have heard that it's easier to get into the Springs campus than Boulder, but I'm not sure that's true. I also know kids who were told by high school counselors that there's no way they could get into Boulder, but they got in just fine. My sister got a psych degree from Denver campus and was content there (though traffic onto campus frustrated her.) I don't know as much about the psych program at Springs but I think it's pretty good. It'd also be a good place to study English I think! Overall, I would recommend any of the campuses, and probably Springs over Denver, but definitely Springs or Denver over Boulder!

No, it would be a very long drive + traffic, I'd say about 2 1/2 hours, at least Boulder is about 100 miles from the university of Colorado at Colorado Springs. Why don't you find a place to Colorado Springs itself?
2 :
VERY Far...but good luck...
3 :
2-3 hours drive on a good day
4 :
It will be a long drive, and definitely not worth it.
5 :

6 :
Yes, this is indeed a very serious response. IMHO, if you are a SINGLE person please for the love of (insert your deity) DO NOT MOVE HERE! This is a terrible place for single folks. You will not fit in here as a single person. This place is geared towards two things: the military (I'm a five year veteran of the Marine Corps, btw 2000-2005 so no Im not anti-military) and freaking families and their 3,4,5 and six year olds. I'm serious, go into Wal-Mart of Target and all you'll see are younger couples in their 30s with their little kids!
7 :
This would be an awful idea as you are looking at a commute of about an hour and a half to two and a half hours depending on traffic. I would just recommend applying to Boulder instead, Colorado Springs is boringggggg

My dad wants me to go to college in Colorado but I want to go to California

My dad wants me to go to college in Colorado but I want to go to California?
My dad says he's paying for it so he choose but there is like no difference in price between University of Colorado and the University of California. He just wants me to stay in Colorado. Why are parents like this, I will never be like this with my kids.

Why would you want to go to California, its like a 3rd world country.

you better not be.

well you can choose to either go to the school he is willing to pay for or you can finance your own education in california. he is looking out for your best interest
5 :
They are both Democrat cesspools where the universities are ripe and seething with liberal indoctrination so the snow is the only real difference. Is it possible the deciding factor is that your parents want you to be closer to home in case you need some kind of help ?

HI ADAM,,honey win you have to pay all the bills you will,b like your dad,,mayb he just wants you close to home,theres a lot of kids out there who have no dads to help them,,PEACE
7 :
Discuss it with yur dad about how badly you really want to go there . If he sees your determination he might say yes. :)
8 :
No difference in price? Are you a resident of Colorado? I've attached a link for out of state tuition for California. I question your comment that it would be the same cost. Out of state tuition is usually much more. Plus you will then have housing expense. Ultimately if you expect him to pay, you must compromise. You could attend CO and then transfer at a later time so you both may win. His choice may be simply cost and you have to respect that unless you intend to pay for it yourself or through loans that will put you in debt before you even get started in life.
9 :
Parents often want their children to attend a college closer due to a variety of reasons..having a talk with your father and see what you both can compromise on.
10 :
If your father is paying for you to go to college, let him choose the school he's paying for. I just checked tuition at a second tier school, GVSU. For your information, tuition here is $395.00 per credit hour. Multiply that out for sixteen credit hours per semester. Then add in books and fees. Can you afford that?
11 :
Recommend in state tuition will allow for books and other expenses.

Depends on what you want to study. If you want to go in to engineering, the School of Mines is a top engineering school, while if you want a more liberal arts education, Colorado College is very good. Overall though, CU Boulder is probably the most well known and it is a very good school.

I turned 18 in August and I am a college student in Colorado. I got my license in CO am I a resident?
My father is in the Navy and we have always moved around. I finally settled down in Colorado to go to college here. I just got my first drivers license here in CO, and I am wondering if I would be considered a resident of CO or a resident of Hawaii which is where my parents still live. And I am also a member of the CO Army National Guard.

You mean for tuition purposes? No, that takes a year (and can't be done if your parents still provide support/claim you on their taxes). But just to be considered a resident of the state? You become a resident the day that you move there with the intention to stay.
2 :
At age 18 how long have you been a member of the CO Army National Guard? (Just curious). To answer your question I assume you were born in the United States; secondly, check with the county clerk office regarding length of stay and residency but my guess is yes.
3 :
It is all one big federated STATE. Only, on matters of State sovereingty would you need to under stand citizenship any further. A Citizen is a non-resident.

Is it easy to get involved at Colorado College

Is it easy to get involved at Colorado College?
I'm looking at this college and so far I love everything about it: -The block plan looks awesome. -It's a great school for biology, which is what I love, but it also has great other opportunities. -I really want to go out west for college. BUT, I'm wondering if this place is hard to fit in because of the intensity of the block plan?

Colorado College was just voted one of the "Happiest" Colleges in the U.S. Some of the reasons for this distinction was the number of student clubs and organizations. The school is a smaller liberal arts, and there tends to be a higher level of student commodary than other institutions. You'd actually be choosing an excellent school for making friends. Since the block plan allows for short periods of focus on a subject, it gives just as much time as other schools for social activities. Often times the social activities are interwoven with what you are learning in the class room.

What college in Colorado has the best science programs and classes

What college in Colorado has the best science programs and classes?
After I get out of the navy or air force, depending on where I end up, I will be going straight to college to be a forensic scientist. Like Abby in the TV show NCIS who processes all of the criminal evidence in the lab. I prefer to spend some time with my family while I'm in college, so I won't listen to suggestions about colleges out-of-state. Thank you in advance for your advice!

sure, but why spend all that money unnecessarily for your first two years when most states have great community colleges you can attend for practically nothing? It's the same fresh soph education... unless you don't CARE how you spend your parents money, or worse, you OWN money. Companies don't really care WHERE you went to school, only where you GRADUATED from. go to comm coll fresh and soph, continue to get good grades and transfer to any school you want. that will also give you time to apply for some grant money.
2 :
It depends on the grades of the others who are applying there, that is your real competition. Apply for grants or scholarships. Perhaps a track or cross country scholarship would be good. Good luck. Don't slack off this last semester. some schools will want to see what you did this second half of the school year.
3 :
I think you definitely have a good shot. The application process is very subjective, so please don't forget that. Also, the person who said that it doesn't matter where you go, but only where you graduated from is slightly incorrect. It really depends on where you apply. I'm not sure on what you plan on studying, but exclusive jobs my look down upon you for attending a community college first. The courses may be the same, but your experience will not be. Most technical jobs are merit based, but if you plan on doing something such as business, etc., then please network your butt off. It won't matter if you have a 4.0. Without networking, you'll become the manager at the nearest McDonald's (really not bad, Mickey Ds promises positive margins within the first year). Anyway, you get my point. Never sell yourself short. I don't know your financial situation, but apply to some reach schools as well. You want to go to college where the situation suits your needs.
