Get the the University of Colorado at Boulder mug.mid sized university located in Greeley, Colorado not too far from Denver. Filled with the future teachers, nurses, actors, and musicians of Colorado and the US.
In comparison w/ CSU and CU which tend to attract many many out of staters from all over the country (many who come for the mountains) UNC is primarily populated by young women from Denver's many suburbs (many prospective elementary teachers). Women outnumber men by far.
Though downtown Greeley is very disconnected from UNC and the college culture, there are plenty of college hangouts along 16th street (Maggie's java joint, Roma's etc.)
UNC is surrounded by huge houses, many of them 10 bedrooms which the upperclassmen tend to populate.
UNC is a blast and no place I'd rather be.

UNC is incredible. The University of Northern Colorado is quite simply everything I hoped it would be and more.
