What are some colleges in the Boulder, Colorado area?

Hi everyone, I'm a junior who's been doing some college searching and I have a great fondness for Boulder, Colorado. So, I was wondering what are some good colleges in or around that area?

Certainly, it's great that you know the geographical area you're interested in. That makes it easier to narrow down your search. Boulder, Colorado is home to the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder), which is a widely recognized school and part of the larger University of Colorado system. It offers diverse majors across various fields.

Just a bit south of Boulder, you'll find the metropolitan area of Denver, which houses several other universities you may want to look at. There's the University of Denver, a private university known for its programs in business, law, and psychology.

Metro State University is another public institution in Denver that could be worth looking into. It has an array of undergraduate programs, from aviation and criminal justice to theatre and women's studies.

And if you want to venture a little further south, Colorado Springs houses the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) and the United States Air Force Academy, among others.

Also, within a 2-hour drive from Boulder, there's Colorado State University in Fort Collins, which has strong programs in biological sciences, business, and engineering.

Obviously, the best choice depends on what you're hoping to study. You should research more on these schools based on your academic interests, career goals, and personal preferences.
