<p>Okay guys, I have a bit if a dilema. I'm a first-semester sophomore at UCCS right now and I have been entertaining the thought of going up to CU-B. First, a little background info. I am an economics major at UCCS and I plan on going on to get a PhD in economics or go to law school, but i haven't decided. I want to prepare myself accademically as best I can to get into the best possible law school or graduate program. This is where i am having a bit of a dilema. I have a great relationship with all of my econ profs at UCCS, they all know me on a first name basis, and I'm sure I could get great recc's from them when it came time to apply for law/grad school. However, I worry that the prestigue of CU-B may help me out when compared with UCCS. Also, the general environment at UCCS is dreary to say the least and I would prefer to study at CU-B. My concern though is whether I will be able to develop the kind of relationships with my profs at CU-B that I have at UCCS and be able to get the kind of recc's from them that I can get by staying at UCCS. What kind of undergraduate opportunities are there to get to know the profs at CU-B? How much more weight does a CU-B degree carry over a UCCS one? </p>
<p>Also, of note is that I will be studying in Lancaster, England for a year. So when I come back I will have 3 semesters, approximately, at CU-B to get to know the faculty up there. </p>
<p>Thanks for the advice,
Sean</p>
