Help me pick a college!

I’m probably just a bit biased ;), but I’d STRONGLY recommend Colorado College. I’m currently a freshman there and absolutely love it! Based on your description of yourself, you sound very similar to me. I’m outdoorsy but not too hard core, I excel in classes I love, and I’m not a huge partier (though I don’t mind attending a crazy party every once in a while ;)). I also wanted a small school with small classes. The class sizes at CC are all small. They are not allowed to be larger than 25. My first two block class (called the first year experience, or FYE) had 16 and my 3rd and 4th block classes had 13.

Just a bit on the location, I personally love it because downtown Colorado Springs is just a ten minute walk away, and the mountains are just a short drive away. You really get the best of both worlds. If you want to shop or eat out in a restaurant you most certainly can (my friends and I occasionally walk downtown and treat ourselves to a night out), and if you want to get away from that, there are plenty of places to hike and bike around campus. Pike’s Peak is right in our backyard!

If you have any specific questions about the school, feel free to PM me. I’d be glad to talk about CC :). Good luck!
