As a junior, and noticing my third marking period grades I decided that I should look at lower rank university, though still well respected. University of Colorado- Boulder is one university which my interest have increased. Looking at Boulder on google street view, I didn't know it was such a nice/ large college town.

How's the city of Boulder, when speaking of college students? Does the city offer a lot? How is University of Colorado- Boulder? How well respected is the university out of state?
Pro's and Con's of the city and university? What is there to do outside the city? Another landlocked location?

Any large lakes
