I feel like when you're here every day you kind of take it for granted - the mountains, the trails, the Pearl Street vibe, all of it just becomes background noise after a while. But then you go home for break or visit a friend at another school and it hits you. What's something about living and going to school in Boulder that you stopped noticing until you stepped away and realized most college towns don't have it?

Today I finally accepted an offer from Boulder, and now I'm looking for a housing option!

I would like to live alone but housing options in Boulder seems too expensive for me; about 27k stipend (before tax) to live.

I think I should look for nearby places, but I'm not sure where I should go. May I ask for some recommendations please?

Thank you!

Like 70 30 on going to boulder next fall and transgender. Im shooting for EE right now but thinking about switching to ECE. I want to meet other trans people but walking around, it feels like there really are not that many. In high school there have been a lot due to living in Portland where being transgender is not uncommon. I hear it's an "accepting" area which I think is very good but i mostly wanna make friends who are similar to me... yk.. Which wasn't a problem before, so if there aren't that many I'll really feel isolated.

Seeking advice from persons who have been in this situation before or know something about this? Pls

Hey guys I’m going to join cu as a first year in the fall. I went to the admitted students day and was able to tour the dorms in will vill. I thought onizuka was great but the dorms were kinda small in my opinion. I wasn’t able to tour any of the apartments in darley or stearns but based off the pictures online they are huge with private mirror/closet/bath/sink etc. They seem really nice so why do people advise to stay away from these buildings? I wanted to know if they might be better options than the dorms..
