<p>How is their..
- Student body?
- Neuroscience department?
- Location?
- Staff?
- Reputation? (+selectivity?)
- Climbing? (it's called 'boulder' so I figured I'd ask...)</p>
<p>Thank you:):)</p>
<p>UCBoulder has a brand-new neuroscience major but has had a strong graduate program for a while. The student body is a lot like the student bodies of other state flagships, with a higher proportion of OOS students probably. When I was there a lifetime ago, it seemed like every 5th person was from southern cal, another 5th from the east coast. It has a deserved rep as a party school, but it would be just as accurate to call it an outdoors school. The climbing is quite good, as is the hiking, fishing, camping, running, and sunbathing. The faculty think they died and went to heaven, except for what they have to spend on housing and commuting. The staff I knew back then were very happy to work at UC. It is not a first-rank public like UMich and the others, but it is very strong in certain STEM fields. Expect to spend a lot of money to go there from OOS.</p>
<p>To begin, the student body is very active (politically, socially etc.) and very inclusive. It’s also an eclectic community for a state institution. I don’t know much about their neuroscience program so I wont speak to that. The location is amazing. AMAZING. Boulder usually ranks in the top 5 of best cities to live in, and the campus is breathtaking. You will love the area. The hiking, climbing and skiing is excellent. Outdoorsie folks are in paradise in Boulder. Staff is very impressive. There are four nobel lauretes on tenure, and all are amazing. The reputation, unfortunately, is not indicative of the school. People assume its a school of partiers and slackers; nothing could be farther from the truth. The 83% acceptance rate is very misleading, students are scholastically advanced. I love Boulder partially because of its political atmosphere (it’s very, very liberal). As a diehard liberal this fits me well, but it doesn’t fit everyone. Its nickname is The People’s Republic of Boulder. It is well deserved. If you’re a conservative and don’t like the role of contrarion you probably won’t like it. </p>
What are the courses offered there for business? Do you like the school? How do they teach their subjects?
