| You didn't hurt my feelings, but you did make me feel bad for wanting to help someone out with reason and statistics, rather than anecdotes and hearsay.
Also, I think that I do offer "expert advice". I'm a recent high-school graduate who turned down a scholarship to the B-School at CU in favor of something out-of-state (which turned out to be just as cheap as CU; attending a high-ranked school SHOULDN'T be expensive, unless you barely got in). Many of my friends go to CU. Some of my friends go to CSU. My closest friends went to out-of-state schools. My brother went to CU, and didn't like it, and my girlfriend went to CU but transferred out because she didn't like it. I've visited CU every year since I was about 7-years-old for various piano competitions, and thereafter, because my friends went there. I have been to Boulder dozens of times, and I know the town like the back of my hand.
I can't stress this enough; I'm a student. On this site, that makes for "expert advice". I know what it feels like to leave your state and live in a totally different environment, where you aren't around your friends and parents all the time. Unfortunately, your daughter cannot say the same. |
