My son is a freshman at DU and is very happy. Most weekends he has stayed in Denver although he has gone skiing twice.(but just for a day--he doesn't want to be off campus for too long). A lot of weekends he keeps to campus, but often on one night a bunch of students will take the light rail to partake of things that Denver has to offer. For example, my hs junior son and I visited recently and my DU college son and his friends took us on the light rail to the 16th street mall for dinner.
There is still a one-year foreign language requirement but he likes his class. About 14 students, class conducted in the foreign language (2d quarter--he took a different language than in high school).
His classes have been small. First quarter, he had two classes of 15, one in the low 20s and his "big" class of about 50 but it was team taught by 3 full professors.
This quarter, he has 3 classes of 15 or so, and one class of about 25.
His classes are demanding but not absurdly so--he is always working but schedules in time for fun--he says time management is key because there is always a lot to do. He is in a fraternity and on the club ultimate frisbee team and on a broomball team and also is getting involved in some activities in the business school as well as at Hillel and Chabad.
Is there anything specific you want to know about?
