What a great stadium, came down to see the Huskies beat the Buffs, and could not have imagined a more gracious crowd of fans, even though they lost. It was a beautiful sunny day in November and seeing the game there was wonderful

I've told my daughter she can visit all campuses she wants as long as she takes a tour of CU last. That should do it. Amazing setting, great architecture, pearl street down the street.....

All three of my kids attended CU and all were well prepared for careers in their chosen fields. Also, it is an absolutely beautiful campus in a lovely city.
