A small, liberal arts school that is an oasis of sanity in Colorado Springs, which is a poor excuse for a city that is overrun by military.
The
college runs on the block system. On this system, students take one class, or block, at a time for three weeks. In between blocks there are 4 1/2 day breaks during which students usually go skiing or snowboarding and partake in a general Shit Show. The system is intense, demanding and requires a lot of finesse on behalf of the student. Many of the three week courses are held outside of the
college at the
college's second campus in Bacca or even internationally, such as an art class that spent most of the block in
Paris.
Kids at this
college smoke a lot of weed and
love flannel, neon clothing, spandex, guacamole, and limes. The school is flooded with friendly hipsters who, aside from the frighteningly excessive amount of whom have a Bob Dylan poster and/or Bob Marley posters in their dorm room, are ready and willing to throw a dance party whenever the time calls for it.
Townies and flyboys from the nearby air force academy continually try to crash the parties at Colorado
College, but with little to no success.
The school has a "drink responsibly" policy which applies to students of all ages (as in under-ages) which absolutely owns.
Bad aspects: In Colorado Springs
Good aspects: Lots of opportunities to leave Colorado Springs, good cafeteria food, the
college's president name is Dick and he rides around on a segway.
