Wyoming is great. My daughter just graduated and spent a happy time there. It is very (very) difficult to get WUE, but the Rocky Mtn Scholars award can pay just as much with the highest level being the same 150% of instate tuition.
Greeley is a stinky town. If you are getting the stockyards aroma, you will get the sugar beets. If you want to major in education, it’s the best place to go.
Yes, Greely did smell like a dairy farm. The tour guide said that "it only smells on Wednesdays, too bad its Wednesday). I’m assuming that she was joking, unless some sort of production is only done on Wednesdays. Not sure what you meant by “you will get the sugar beets”. Is the “sugar beets” another aroma? It sounds like a medical condition!
No, sugar beets processing is also stinky.
I don’t think Wednesdays are special. I think it stinks every day.
Thanks for the clarification. I heard the tour guide at CSU Fort Collins tell someone "we sometimes get the smell fro Greely). I thought, “What! Greely is 30 miles away! It must really be stinky!”. Anyhow, we could smell something when we first got to Greely, but didn’t notice it on the tour. I’m sure the smell was still there, but we were getting that olfactory nerve fatigue. Anyhow, we were impressed by UNC, and the smell only seemed like a small disadvantage
The Greely Chamber of Commerce would like a word with you out back. Rocco, Tony, help the poster find another topic…
LOL!
In order to avoid getting my legs broken, I need to emphasize that it was only a slight smell at first that we didn’t notice on the tour. Also, it seems that Greely’s reputation was from past operations when there were feed lots within the city limits and before a smokestack was installed. https://www.npr.org/2013/08/03/207645081/colorado-city-tries-to-cleanse-its-reputation-for-cow-odor
Anyhow, when discussing the disadvantages to UNC, they were more directed to 2 streets running through the middle of campus (although not busy and there was a diaganol crosswalk for one, and an underpass for another), the campus being disjointed into 2 parts, one building without windows, another building without AC, some of the buildings being older, …etc, but the smell was not a primary concern.
Well, you gotta give Greely credit for admitting there was a problem and taking steps to correct it:
“The long and the short of it is that it was a big problem in the 1980s and 1990s, and city leaders and industry worked together to say, ‘We’re going to turn this around,’” Mueller said. "Greeley hasn’t had feedlots in its city limits for over 20 years, and they’ve been illegal in the city for almost that long. So that has not been a reality for decades, and yet the world has a long collective memory.
Mueller also said overcoming the urban legend that the city smells is part of Greeley Unexpected, a city initiative that works to dispel Greeley myths, ranging from one idea that there’s nothing to do downtown to another that Greeley still has feedlots in city limits."
