FRCC vs. CU

Many have already heard that the incredible duo of Emily and Jenny has been separated after years of giggle fits, awkward stages, tears and overeating of frozen dairy products.  What could have possibly brought this upon soulmates? Emily's impulsive decision making regarding her education is the answer.  Now we are separated by an hours drive, but it might as well be across the country.  Because you just cannot complete walks of shame together from an hour away...

This post was inspired by our discussion of Emily's new community college experience, and how it compares to CU Boulder.  Lets just say the differences are many.

Professors:
-CU professors often begin the year by discussing the syllabus, and other professional, appropriate discussions about what to expect in the class.
-For whatever reason, Front Range teachers like to make their impression upon students by telling them personal stories ranging from international stalkers to murderous druggies they had in class.  Talk about a self esteem boost! We can definitely succeed if those people can, fellow front rangers!

Night Life:
-The sluts come out at night here in Boulder, talk about summer all year girls, that skirt better be fleece lined! The frat parties are full of sex appeal, bad decisions, endless free alcohol to anyone with boobs or wearing sorority letters.  If you aren't comfortable in such an atmosphere, you will soon meet other people just like you having movie night in their dorms...after an extensive search.
-I have yet to go out one night with the wolf pack, but I am positive that if I did I would see all of the people that didn't succeed in high school.  The size of the party might dwindle after midnight, after all babysitters have to sleep too!

Academics:
-Well, finals week at CU is pretty tough. All of the important material must have been introduced on Friday mornings to bring down the class average.
-Remember high school? Didn't quite get enough? Come be a FRCC Wolf!

The People:
-If you are white, rich, and enjoy drowning your daddy issues in cheap vodka, you will have no trouble fitting in at CU.  There are many attractive people here, fratty and otherwise.  Stay away from the engineering quad if you're looking for a hottie.
-Pregnant? Want to become pregnant? Like drugs? Provide the people of Fort Collins with greasy midnight meals at you're place of work? Married? Paying for college yourself? Decided at age 55 that you cant get a good job without a degree? You have many friends in your future here!

Credits are credits, but lets just say that the price of a real university includes a social life.  We're not biased or bitter...just saying.
