OP we are facing a similar decision with Boulder. My daughter was admitted and received the out of state scholarship but even with that, the cost differential between Boulder and the other places she was accepted to or is expecting acceptances is not small. (UIUC, U of Minn, U of Wis-Mad). It is indeed a beautiful campus and the near constant sunshine is a huge attraction. However all of her other schools are more academically selective than Boulder and honestly seem to have less of a nickel and dime the student to death vibe to them. We were particularly impressed with Minn.
