What school are you attending, Kulp?


King's College
I put a link to the school's website in my post.
its in Wilkes-Barre, PA (about a 1 hour drive away from Allentown)


I know some people who went there, but they just graduated.  Cool Kulp, pretty close to home, well my home, only like an hour-ish.

NO! Don't go to Colorado State. Seriously. Boulder is where it's at. Ranked 11th best public university in the world.

It's SO beautiful up here. There are so many smart people and so much political activism. Not to mention the killer music scene.  It's hard not to fall in love with this place. Have you visited? Come now. It's gorgeous. Wow I have way too much school pride for having been a student for only a month. Oh and if you check the U.S. News and world report for the best colleges in different majors, CU is on the top 30 or something for every major... except engineering. I was so lucky to get in-state tuition though. Honestly, CU has a bad rep. It's got a big party scene, but there are also many many dedicated students.  We have like 12 nobel laureates from CU.. and one of the best medical schools. I wish all that news didn't go down the past couple of years, because this university is fantastic.

I considered Boulder, but its a party school in my opinion. Like UCSB. It might be a great school with some dedicated students but I just can't. I'm swaying more towards King's College now. wow...no more colorado.

UCSB = University of Casual Sex and Beer.

It's actually a VERY good school though.

Boulder is absolutly an awesome town.  But it's a little new age and trust fund baby for my tastes.

But yeah... you can't say a bad thing about the city.

Except maybe the weather is messed up... and everything is brown.  But that's just Colorado in general, and once you're there long enough you get used to it.

Thank you guys for sharings. I like to read what other people do at university, so it can give me an idea of what other people like to do besides my own preference. It has been about 3 weeks since I went to Law School and i'm enjoying it very much, although the texts are costing me £s.

Ooooh... I've always wanted to go there for Halloween, but the past 2 years have been super busy that weekend! I partied there one weekend in summer once, and it was insane! I can only imagine what it'd be like during the school year, especially Halloween!


Oh, and to Harmonius... I would just recommend trying out a lot of different things! College is all about growing up and figuring out who you are! I know I've definitely learned a lot more than academic lessons in the 2 years I've been at my college! haha.
