<p>Last year I got into university of Colorado at boulder, the university of Washington, Seattle university, saint john's and Howard I live in Seattle and was tired of staying there and felt UW wasn't the school for me. out of all my schools i chose the university of Colorado. However, I have been wondering did I make the right choice. I felt CU was better than UW and they are both public ivies. At the time I was pursuing engineering but now I am doing law. I am currently a freshman and wondering did I make the right choice.</p>
<p>Colorado is a great school! If you like it then you made the right choice.</p>
<p>We’ve lived in Colorado for 20 yrs and I got my MBA there. Its a great school for medicine, engineering and business. My sons won’t even consider attending CU, largely due to its party school reputation and not being considered a top academic school. From what we learned during the college admissions process, UW is a great school. So if you’re not opposed to going to college closer to home, and you don’t love CU, you could transfer.</p>
<p>Sorry, sent that from my phone…I got my MBA from CU. Why are you second guessing your choice now? To the best of my knowledge, CU is not considered a public Ivy, although UW may be.</p>
<p>UW>>UC Boulder for most majors. But Boulder is great as a college town. Better than Seattle.</p>
<p>Public ivies? What does that mean to you? I don’t know anyone that’s ever confused Boulder with an ivy, or even with a top state school, but it’s an above average state school.</p>
<p>Public Ivies. Dont think so</p>
<p>Goingthroughlife, what has made you question your decision to attend CU? If you’re not happy there, then it make sense to transfer. Kids change schools all the time. If you are happy there, don’t keep second guessing yourself. We know plenty of great students attending CU because their parents could not afford to send them out of state. My oldest son is into the prestige and ranking of schools, so he wanted to leave Colorado. He will be attending the Univ of Michigan next Fall. He passed up on several very good schools, offering very large merit scholarships, to attend U of M, where he did not get any merit aid. We tried to tell him that if you’re going onto to graduate school, no one will care where you got your undergraduate degree ultimately. But he wanted to go to the school with the most stellar academic reputation. If you’re happy at CU, and Boulder is a great college town, then finish your undergraduate degree there, maintain great grades and build your resume for law school. If you do well, you should be able to get into a very good law school.</p>
<p>Are you paying a lot more for CU?</p>
