“Hiking in the Flatirons between classes, how easy it is to get involved in research or outdoor clubs, that the workload can pile up and the campus can feel spread out, and that the ski‑trip‑heavy culture isn’t for everyone, yet the Colorado‑sunshine‑plus‑Buff‑spirit combo still makes it feel like the right place to be stretched and grounded at the same time.”
