Hey guys, I am very interested in CU and right now it’s my top choice. I got into the honors program and am strongly considering living in Smith Hall. I’m a really social person but not a huge partier, and I take my academics seriously. I do have a few concerns living in Smith, especially since it’s in Kittridge which is farther away from campus. Is dining and the rest of campus really that far away? I would like to be able to use the gym regularly, but it seems far. Also, are people in Smith still pretty social? I’m looking for a strong sense of community in the dorms. I’m only hesitating with Smith because I’m worried that it may be far from classes and other things on campus, and that people won’t be as social, but it seems like a good fit for me academically. Any advice would be really appreciated, thanks!
Kittredge is great, the only other dorms that might be more social, but have a lot more parties, are the dorms around Farrand Field. From how you describe yourself you should be very happy at Smith.
