So my path is not traditional but it is filled with a lot of wisdom in the form of comparison! I loved loved loved CU. "I transferred to CU Boulder from several schools (my dad did not understand how college worked and I finally paid for college myself and moved to CO then transferred to CU). The school has reduced itself to nothing more than lipstick on a pig." It's upsetting to see what has happened to a school where I had many good memories, but like so many things in our world today.buyer beware. Send your kids to get a real education at one of the many other Universities in the State if in-state tuition is important, don't waste your time with CU.
MY VU BOULDER HOW TO
I'm sure every parent wants their student to learn how to gamble while attending college pathetic. They are selling out the entire student body for profit, as if the highly over-inflated tuition and the tax exemptions which come from being an "educational institution" aren't enough.
MY VU BOULDER PLUS
They receive over $1M upfront plus $30 for each new referral.i.e., students. The school has even contracted with an online sports book (PointsBet). That school, and those experiences do not exist any longer it's an embarrassment. CU sells the school on what we as parents remember from our experiences 30+ years ago, but those days are in the history books. I had no choice but to transfer my kid to CSU where she is thriving and will be graduating in 2025. I have two other kids who recently graduated from CSU and UNC, both schools provided a far superior educational experience, as well as the more traditional overall experience most of us parents remember during our college days. So why would a parent pay $18K+ a semester to have their kid take poorly developed online classes from their dorm room? It's a fool's investment. Most of them don't even report to the University, they work from home full-time so they're not even at the University to teach an in-person course. They don't have any accountability to the students and rarely if ever respond when a student requests help - these types of processes remove all accountability from the make-believe educators and pave the way for the worst teaching skill sets available. They hide behind these ridiculous processes like pathetic cowards, not educators. The Teaching Assistants don't have to have a spine and speak to the tuition paying students, after all, a Zoom call that is poorly executed or was recorded 4 years ago should be sufficient. Most of the courses are taught by Zoom call (essentially a poor man's online course), and their administration has no control over the functioning of the University - they're a completely unorganized train wreck. Professors don't teach the courses they instead use third rate hack $50K a year Teaching Assistants who often times don't even have their PhD's in the topic they're overseeing (teaching wouldn't be the appropriate term) - this is how they save money on your over-inflated tuition dime.


Over the years it's become a very poorly managed, third-rate educational institution. "I'm a parent who attended CU and made the mistake of sending one of my kids to the school (2021).
