CU is a wonderful small, private, un-affiliated university where I got a great education. College is what you make of it and if you are looking for a great opportunity to experience a personal relationship with your professors and staff, CU is the place. There are lots of athletic and fine arts opportunities at CU that also offer lots of scholarship potential. With a variety of liberal arts degrees it’s worth at least taking a look at. I graduated in 2008 and I know that the small college life isn’t for everyone, but if you think you might enjoy that close, family-like atmosphere, then visit the campus and fall in love with it!
