Hi Rachel

The basic problem with reviews is that you only get those from students who choose to write them - and often these are soreheads.

Here is a better way to see how students like their schools.

1. Find all the school that interest you on this list:

2. For each school, find the "retention rate". That is the percentage of students who return for a second year. Boulder is 84% UCD is 72.5%

3. Keep in mind that Boulder gets more academically-inclined students than UCD overall. Of course it has a higher retention rate. That does not mean that UCD is a lesser school. If UCD was 50% then you need to look elsewhere.

Hope that this helps somewhat.

There's a lot of colleges in Colorado. You need to be more specific.
