CU-Boulder

<p>Hey, I'm a senior in high school, who lives in Houston, Texas. I just got admitted into CU-Boulder, and am pretty excited. I'm just a little nervous honestly, because its a party school. As I know, every college is a party school, but I'm a kid who wants to make good grades and have some fun after. Will it be hard for me to make friends? I don't want to flunk out either. Also, hows the atmosphere and social life? Is it as big of a party school as everyone makes it out to be?
How hard are the academics? (I know this depends on the major but like overall)
Thanks!</p>
