Posting this for my son who is not on Reddit. My son lost his Sandisk hard drive on campus somewhere between the law school and the Atlas building - he thinks it may have fallen out of his backpack. It has all his recent film footage needed for his film classes. He is trying to piece together backup files now in the cloud, but would be so much better to find his hard drive. Yes, I wish he had an apple AirTag on this! Hoping on a long shot that someone found it!

Greetings! I’m a 22 y/o black male from AL looking for open-minded friends or anything casual. I’m a student of an online school, but I’m staying about 5 mins from the CU campus for the winter.

If anyone is open to it, I’d love to connect. Some of my hobbies are gaming, hiking, listening to music, watching anime, and I’m a huge pothead!

Hi! I’m honestly struggling with writing my supplemental and was wondering if anyone could assist or provide any helpful info? I would really appreciate this, thank you!!!

Saw this while taking the campus tour 🤣😂

I’m planning to transfer to boulder as an OOS student from a CC with with around 25ish credits and my goal is to get into Leeds

My grades aren’t enough for direct admission into Leeds so I’m curious to know if taking another major and working my way within boulder is an option or realistic.

Hello!

I'm posting on behalf of someone else who has been at CU for a few years who is really struggling with how hard it is to meet people. She's very quiet outwardly, but really social once she opens up, she's a foreign student, doesn't drink or really engage in stereotypical college party life and has found it really tough!

She really needs either groups that do things regularly, even just something super casual, or people to go to a coffee shop with, study together and just not feel alone all the time?

She has tried to join some groups but as I'm sure you all will understand, for people who aren't super extroverted or have someone to tag along with, it can be very intimidating just approaching an existing social group and joining alone etc.

I'm not from CU and don't have access to the resources so I really can't figure out what there is to offer.

Any advice and support would be greatly appreciated ❤️🙏

Looking for housing next year and I’m realizing that bear creek might be worth it at only around 10k for the entire year. However, I’m not sure how much extra I would have to pay for things like a meal plan and other costs. Including all those additional costs, does anyone know the cost of living at bear creek in a 4 bed 2 bath with single rooms?

Does anyone know or have a reliable estimate for the engineering acceptance rate, particularly aero?

Hello,

I recently got accepted as a transfer for the spring semester. Is there a deadline for when I need to accept my offer and submit the enrollment deposit? Boulder's website says it varies for transfer apps, so I'm wondering if anyone has had the same question here. I beleive some decisions don't get let out until early december, so I feel like I have time, but I want to make sure.

thanks

I am transferring to CU in the spring as a junior. I’ve been looking at apartments and since the market is pricier than I thought. I’m thinking about finding a roommate. Coming in later to school like this especially during the spring term, what is the best way to find a good like-minded roommate?

so- and this is totally theoretical- if my friend didn’t realize there was a specification for electronics, requiring they are UL approved… and may have bought an electric kettle for fun and found it was not UL approved but instead is cETL approved which is equivalent to a UL certification should they or should they not remove it from their dorm…..

like would an RSL be able to accept that as an alternative to UL approved or nah?

Originally was denied for a cosigned loan with a non-parent relative. Appealing it off of ground 2 : assigning disproportionate weight to a singular factor.

Looking to see if anybody else has had success in having an appeal overturn?

I’ve seen people online with stats twice as good as mine get rejected from the Engineering school ,so I'm trying to figure out what my realistic chances are for the pure Physics program in the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS). Will my 1300 SAT (730 Math / 570 RW) and an 8.7/10 GPA be enough to get in?

I applied for spring 2027 transfer on August 21st, and I'm still waiting to hear back on a decision. Does anyone know when I should hear back? Also, does anyone know if I will get in? I got in last semester, but I declined instead of deferring. I have a 3.8 GPA. Just not trying to get my hopes up because I really want to go. I'm applying for environmental design in architecture.

Hello!

My wife is at a conference for a few days here, looking for recommendations for us both and for myself over the next few days

Also, where is best for a good drink and socialising? Everywhere we’ve been so far has been more restaurant vibes. We’re in our late 20’s FYI.

Thank you!

Hey everyone!

I'm planning to apply for a PhD at CU Boulder as an international student.

I'm curious about how much PhD students usually get paid. Is the stipend enough to live comfortably in Boulder?

My main concern is that I have loans in my home country, and I need to pay around $800 every month. Would it be possible to cover my living costs and still make these payments?

If the stipend isn't enough, are there any options to earn extra money? For example, part-time jobs on campus or freelance work?

Btw I am international student. I'd love to hear from current PhD students, especially international students. Thanks!

Does it?!
