<p>Got accepted into both (not very hard) but now I don't know which I should go to. I'm going to be a Bio major btw. What I know so far:</p>
<p>I know Boulder is the 35th best public school in the nation (according to US News) compared to CU Denver not even making the list. </p>
<p>I know Boulder has really big class sizes. ick</p>
<p>I'm assuming Denver is good for people going into medicine since the whole name is Univeristy of Colorado at Denver Health and Health Sciences Center</p>
<p>Denver is closer to where I live...</p>
<p>and that's pretty much it. I only moved here a year ago from California so I don't know much...but I don't want to make the wrong decision. So help if you know anything about these universities!!</p>
<p>Boulder is the flagship school of the CU system, so it's pretty much better at everything. Denver is primarily the center for CU's medical school with minor undergrad offshoots.</p>
<p>If you get into honors college, especially the norlin scholars program, at Boulder you cna have a lot of smaller classes.</p>
<p>I want to get into med school (not sure if it'll happen) so I'd probably look at CU Denver. Do you think it'd be more advantageous to go to CU Denver for undergrad as well?</p>
<p>Nope, IMO. Boulder has the better academic programs and Denver knows it. You might gain an advantage by getting some internships or contacts within the Denver med school, but all of my friends considering the two, even if they plan to go into premed, prefer Boulder.</p>
<p>Well, Boulder is clearly cheaper. From the stats I'm seeing, the schools have similiar instate tuition, but the room and board at Denver is twice that of Boulder, and living in Boulder is cheaper than living in Denver.</p>
<p>OK so apparently, my parents don't want to pay for the dorm costs at CU Boulder (about 9k) and it's required that students live in the dorms for freshman year. Would it be a good move to go to CU Denver for my freshman year and then transfer to Boulder??</p>
