hi all, i'm looking at perspective graduate schools in particularly planetary science. i'm wondering how boulder is as a city. i'm from tn and have been here my entire life, and i don't have the money to fly out and visit the campus unfortunately and see things for myself. i'm worried about housing costs being high, and the cost of living to be outrageous, so a gauge would be great! i'm also wondering if you are in the specific program, how you like it and how things are going. thanks!
Hi, welcome to my ramble, thanks for dropping in. So, it’s about the third week of school and I’m a freshman. The problem is, I’ve barely spoken to anyone this whole time. I participate in class and ask questions, talk to my partners in class when I need to, and say hi to whoever I pass by in the halls in my dorm. But I don’t….talk to anyone? If that makes sense. I’ve gone a couple of different days where I barely spoke more than a few sentences the whole day. I have one friend I’ve kept in touch with since orientation but we only text periodically and live on opposite sides of campus. I have a friend from high school but they commute and have different classes so we also don’t see each other much. I’ve sat alone doing homework or reading for every meal and when I’m not in classes I’m in Norlin library studying or in my dorm for the night (which is a single, so no roommate.) I guess I just feel really lonely, and like I’m missing out on everything I should have done by now like make friends and tons of memories by now. I also don’t know how to stop being so quiet and ‘complacent’ to be alone. Like, my building has parties every night on the top floor but the thought to go to them never crosses my mind, and when I walk into any place I automatically choose an empty table or sit away from everyone else on the field. I’m comfortable doing those things but I don’t want to keep doing them. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks for reading and sorry for the drawn-out train of thought lol.
What's happening at the Rec Center right now? There's five firetrucks from what I saw, and at least two ambulances and police cars, and the building is closed. I don't mean to be nosey if someone had a medical emergency or something, but this seems a little overkill for that?
Hopefully you all can help me out. I would like to go to a game specifically to see the marching band. My daughter has just started high school and is very excited about joining the marching band. I want to show her what it's like at the college level. Where can we sit to be closest to the band during the game? I'm making some assumptions that they are in the stands or somewhere playing during the game plus a halftime show. Please help!
Hi everyone!
We are a team of graduate mechanical engineering students at CU Boulder working on a project focused on designing a prosthetic device. As part of our user research, we are looking for volunteers who currently use or have previously used a prosthetic device and would be willing to participate in a short interview.
The interview would take approximately 20–30 minutes and would focus on your experiences, challenges, and needs related to using a prosthetic device. Your feedback would help us better understand users' experiences and guide our design process.
I'm a Junior transfer looking for people with similar hobbies and I missed the club fair, can anyone help me find a club page or specifically if possible one about video games?
It’s 4am and I woke up to see the whole Boulder police department lined up in the stearns parking lot with their lights flashing, 2-3 ambulances and I’m pretty sure I saw a firetruck.
Boulder is having its first local filmmakers showcase next week! 🎬
In collaboration with the Boulder County Film Commission, we are starting a monthly “Local Lens” short film showcase to create a space for local filmmakers to screen their work, meet other creatives in the community, and talk about the process behind making their films.
The theme of the showcase next week is New Beginnings and will include a short film from Boulder-based adventurer and filmmaker Ryan Van Duzer.
Every movie will be followed by a brief Q&A with the filmmaker, giving the audience a chance to ask them about their creative approach, production, and workflow.
And, admission is free for students!
The Local Lens - Sept 9
Date: Wednesday, September 9
Time: 5:30 – 7:30 PM
Location: Boulder Marriott
Submissions are officially open. If you would like to screen your work at an upcoming showcase, submit your film here: https://forms.gle/G4hAkXjScWyK89xn6
Good times! JK, every time I talk to someone from CU about Academic Probation or Financial aid I get different answers. I am a 4th year and still don't have a direct people to contact. Is that normal? Do you call the main number, or do you email your advisor for everything?
Found the cu boulder buy and sell community on fb, but it says i need to pay a monthly membership fee of like 2-3 dollars to join it. For anyone who's used it, would you say its worth it? Fee isnt that big of an issue i just dont wanna start the monthly payments and never use it.
My son wants to go to CU in a few years. His big extracurricular action right now is music—guitar and singing, studying each and performing. But these are not extracurricular activities at school. Will CU admissions consider these the same way a music club at school would be considered?
Does the campus actually check if you are parked where you shouldn’t be, I guess they gotta check every single license plate to see if hey don’t hand out physical permits.
