^^^ yea definitely don't come to CU Boulder if you're trying to avoid weed. oh man it's like 420 central here. practically sanctioned.


If you think CU Boulder is bad, come up here to Northern California and check out Humboldt State. The county the university is based in is famous for their weed.

yes, i know where it is.  My good friend here used to be an area coordinator for residence life there.  I also looked at it as an option for my undergrad school :-)

There is nothing wrong with going home on the weekends. I actually decided to stop living on campus at my school after 2 years. It was like this little cloistered and fake world. I felt that if I remained there all four years I definitely would not be prepared for a life of work and reality afterward. I was sick of always hearing about how drunk people got the night before, weeknights included, and everyone at my school is extremely, EXTREMELY liberal (or just a flat out barefooted hippie)- which, as a moderate, was frustrating to say the least. I'm in 1st semester of my senior year now and I don't regret living at home and commuting 2-3 days a week; it saves money and I can get away from "college" whenever I want to. But that is just me, maybe others need the environment to become more capable as adults.

I live in an engineering only residence hall.


That's the only way to go if you're an engineering major. It's fun getting together and making fun of all the artsies. ;)


It's totally awesome.  I'm on the honors floor too, which is pretty nice.

Oh yeah and there are 200 guys and 36 girls.   :wink:

yea, I know what you mean! I've been hoping that the massive amounts of partying would die down a bit. I mean, I like having fun... but I'm also at school. I wish like-minded didn't mean everybody getting plastered like it's the only thing to do besides study... kinda bites because now I have to make new friends so I can actually NOT party.  But where shall I find these new people?

When I was in the dorms, my building had 24 girls out of 68 total. It really doesn't matter, though, 'cause dormcest gets weird.

Well honestly, I was looking foward to having lots of guy friends who are Yankee fans....the problem is that no engineers like baseball.

It's really sad.

But yeah, it's awesome when it's 3:30 AM and you're doing physics homework to know someone is there to help you.

My uni is 2 hours direct train to London. I'm probably not going to be there loads cos Kieran won't be living there by then, but i'll definitely come and meet you when you first arrive. What date are you coming?
