Announcement of thing being compared- CU is a world class institution that brings students from not only around the United States, but around the world to Colorado to study, offering and a great experience for an Coloradoan.
Origins- Being from Pueblo and going to smaller schools where teacher interaction is more active, the learning environment at CSUP is more appealing for my style of learning.
Origins- CU expects students to take learning much more into their own hands. Being one of thirty some odd thousand makes interactions with teachers and advisers less personal.
Education merits- CSUP is an upcoming university that has for years been Colorado’s best kept secret with regard to college opportunities in the state with a good selection of majors, small classes, and a CSU caliber education.
Education merits- CU, time after time is regarded as a top University in both the nation and the world.

Comparison- CU Boulder, on one hand is far more expensive than CSUP, but worth every penny of the tuition. Yet on the other, even though Boulder is a gorgeous town and learning in such a prestigious university, having studied for a short time at a comparable university, I would have to say the environment at CSUP is more appealing to me.
Epilogue- The type of learning environment that appeals to me is the one exhibited by CSUP.
Epilogue- With the expensive tuition and impersonal learning environment CU would not be the right college for me.
