Reasons to attend and to not attend Colorado College

To Attend

“You’re around beautiful things. If you like skiing or hiking it’s a pretty ideal place to go to school.”
“Even if you don’t like to ski and snowboard, there’s so much to do. Colorado’s very diverse in appearance and opportunity.”
“Block breaks is another reason. They are by far my favorite part of the school. It’s really awesome we get that time.”
“People are really friendly and the culture is very not judgmental.”

To Not Attend

“I think it’s something they’re working on, but CC still does attract this hyper affluent class of people. Not to bash those people, because I think there’s a lot of them that are spectacularly interesting and cool people, but I think it can be isolating for the less affluent students.” [The median household income at Colorado College is $277,500 and 24% of students come from the socioeconomic top 1%.]
“I think by senior year, part of the nature of a small school is you might start to get kind of sick of being around the same people. I think Colorado Springs can feel a little bit of a small place.”
“If you’re trying to get away from athletes running everything don’t go to CC.”
