Hello. My son is trying to decide between San Diego State University vs University of Colorado Boulder for business. He was admitted to both and having a tough time deciding. He would be going fall 2021. Can those who have attended provide any feedback on the schools? pros/cons. Social life, academics, football, sense of community, will classes be in person? Etc. thanks in advance.
A couple of 3 decades ago, I spent a few years at CU Boulder before transferring & finishing my undergrad at SDSU business (accounting). I like both schools, but for me personally, I give the nod to CU in most categories. I find Boulder (and the hill) to be the textbook definition of a college town.
Not sure what the tuition economics look like in your case? I was OOS at CU and in-state at SDSU.
A couple additional thoughts: it always seemed to me that SDSU hires very well into San Diego. So if your son wanted to for sure end up in SD after graduating, I’d give the nod to SDSU. Certainly the same is true for CU into jobs in Colorado.
I’ve not watched how either school has handled the Covid era, but that would certainly be part of my analysis. Good luck and let me know if I can be of further assistance.
