<p>OP, You should visit every school you are seriously considering. My son visited a school he was sure would be his #1 choice…and he found it was not what he wanted at ALL. Researching for hours online is great, but it can never take the place of visiting in person. If you don’t check out Colorado, you may always wonder. Go see it. Take the Greyhound Bus if you have to. Arrange to stay on campus, take the tour. Make an informed decision.</p>
