<p>My S2 is a rising 3rd year student at CC. I agree with everything txcarol posted. The “turbo-christian” aspect of Colorado Springs gets over-emphasized. True, many conservative organizations are HQ’ed on the outskirts of town, but that really should not have much if any impact on your life at CC. </p>
<p>The natural surroundings are gorgeous and the climate is wonderful. Colorado Springs is not Manhattan (for urban culture and entertainment) but many students would find it far more attractive than the rural or suburban locations of many other LACs. </p>
