I SWORE I'D NEVER JOIN A FRAT

Then I rushed in the spring and got it completely wrong. A current CU student breaks down what joining a fraternity at CU Boulder is actually like: fall vs spring rush, what it really costs, the affiliated vs unaffiliated thing nobody explains, and whether it is worth it. No pitch, no stereotype, just the real version.

VISITING CU BOULDER WITH YOUR STUDENT? HERE'S SOMETHING THAT MIGHT HELP.

We're current CU Boulder students, and we run private tours of The Hill and the everyday side of student life here. Think dorms, dining, study spots, the social scene, safety, and what day to day life actually looks like at CU.

It's private, so it's just your family, and we build the whole thing around whatever your student is curious about. About 90 minutes, and it's $150 for the group no matter the size. It's designed to go right alongside your official campus visit.

Families tell us they walk away feeling a lot more confident about the decision, which is really the whole point. And it comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If we're not helpful or you don't enjoy it, you get your money back.

If you're planning a visit, you can book or just ask us anything here: tourthehillboulder.com/request-tour

Sophomore year at CU comes with one big question: where are you going to live off campus?

Honest truth from students who have done it. Do not stress about the house condition, it is a college house and you get used to it fast. Location is what matters. The blocks between 18th and 9th streets are where the action is, and being close to campus beats a nicer place farther out every time.

Our new guide covers where CU students actually live, when to sign, and the mistakes that cost families real money:

Visiting CU Boulder soon? There is SO much more to see than most families realize.

Beyond the classrooms and the campus itself is where daily life actually happens, and it is the part you can experience for yourself on a visit if you know where to look. We put together a current student's honest guide to seeing the real CU Boulder, from walking The Hill and the dorm neighborhoods to catching a game or concert before you are even enrolled, wandering Pearl Street, and the quick drive up to one of the best lookouts over the entire city. The little things most families never think to do, and the ones that actually help you fall for the place.

"YOU'RE GONNA TURN INTO A STONER."

That is the speech I got before I came to Boulder. W**d, hard drugs, the whole thing. Four years later, none of it happened, and I never once felt pressure to. A current student just wrote the honest answer to the question every parent is Googling at midnight: is CU Boulder a party school? The real answer is more surprising, and more reassuring, than the rankings let on.
