San Diego

[Hotwheelz]

I hate it.

Always hot.

No rain.

Rarely getting Bronco games, stupid Chargers.

I plan on going to CU or CSU.

Which is better? I want to have a career in computers.

How are their Tech. Deparments?

Yes the main reason I plan on moving to Denver is because of the Broncos.

[The Big E]

How often do you hear complaints about the weather in San Diego? Complaints about the football I can understand, though.

[Meck77]

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Denver has pretty good weather RC but it's not as cool as SD in the summer and you'd probably need chains for your rig in the winter if you moved here.;)

CU!!!! According to the GRE Guide the University of Colorado ranks 38th among all universities in computer science.

It's not thaaaat bad. just fall asleep all day like me.

CSU isn't as leftist as CU and is a smaller, more mellow school. It was originally an A&M school. Both have good football programs. With your disability you might consider Colorado School of Mines. It's a real get down to business school with less distractions. It's in Golden, a town much quieter. You might get caught up in the fast paced, San Fransisco type atmosphere there. Mines is much much quieter, and very underrated. Tuition would probably be less than CU as well. My only concern is you might get lost in the mix. CU is a huge, spread out school Mines is much more compact and studius. CU IS a party school, no question. I would certainly look into Coors City...err...Golden.

[DeusExManning]

This is BS, I live in OC which is the same exact weather and I have lived in Wyoming. You do not know how good it is here until you leave. Trust me. This is paradise. If you want to watch the Broncos, get sunday ticket.

Your diffinately mistaken on all accounts. I broke my leg and had class at both ends of campus, and had no problem on crutches in the winter.

[watermock]

So? Your going to tell me it's all spread out? It's not their fault you broke your leg and managed to take two classes at different ends of the campus. Your going to tell me that CU would be easier to get around? Get real.

[watermock]

You didn't mention academics either, so that's hardly all accounts.

[SureShot]

I sorry did you take class there?

Did you know there is a bus system that goes through campus?

I would like to add, I lean to the right and didn't notice the so called San Fran atmosphere.

Its not spread out its very compact in my opinion for its size.

[SureShot]

Pay attention moron my first post was about academics.

Thanks mock I appreciate your concern. But I WANT to experience everything though, you know? My goals in life are pretty simple college, get married, kids etc. I will look into it though. Thanks again.:thumbsup:

[Meck77]

Pay attention moron my first post was about academics.

This could get interesting.....

[watermock]

So what. Never mind you prick. I was asking about Mines academics since you went there. Or didn't you? All gave was a stat on CU. How is that wrong on all accounts?

[SureShot]

Once again pay attention! I was pimping CU! You must have went beauty college.

[watermock]

I WASN'T TALKING ABOUT CU DIMWIT.


No institution in the eight-state Mountain West (New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana) was in the top 50. Only six Mountain West schools made Tier 2—University of Utah, Brigham Young University, University of Arizona, University of Colorado, Colorado School of Mines (a state technological institution), and University of Denver (a private, nonsectarian college).

Mines is a dedicated technical school.

[Hotwheelz]

Flame war!!!

*Sits down, observes*

[Dudeskey]

****, be glad it doesn't rain. San Diego has some of the ****tiest drainage systems around. Not to mention the Murph is built on a flood plain, lol.

[WoodMan]

I went to CSU and liked it alot. Fort Collins is a good town. But, if I had to do it all over again I'd go to Western State in Gunnison CO and major in skiing! :rofl: Then again I love the cold and do I ever mean cold.

[oldschoolorange]

While there is much good advice so far....If your grades are very good, pick a top ten school. You have UC-Berkley...alot cheaper since you are a California resident. Stanford has a great program and a top rated lab.

Go to a top 5 school and move the Denver when you are done. Get NFL season ticket for the Broncos games while in school and you will be set.

[freak6]

CU DENVER ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!

Check out the campus in Denver, it's nice, and the IT department is good to go.

I love SD, and as a veteran of Denver for over 20 years, the only thing that draws me back to Colorado is family, friends, and skowboarding. I think I wore out the bar scene in Denver, but for family Highlands Ranch is top notch for sure.

[watermock]

That's another good point. In state tuition is generally around a third of out of state. I've heard of people lying to get into CU but that was a many moons ago. Stanford is a fine school, a little too liberal for me, but your not me. California is a little less party time from my impressions. It would be much more temperate there than down by the border. Plus you could go to Oakland games as an added bonus.

I can just picture Red Rocket in his wheel chair getting ripped to shreds in the Black Hole wearing his Elway jersey. Ha!

[Nuggets4]

You're kidding right? I have friends that go there and everyone bitches because it's a commuter school.

[Pezman]

San Diego sucks? Where? At the Imperial Beach-Mexico border? Other than that, SD is heaven man! LoCal rocks!

[Dudeskey]

Oh yeah I love SoCal on my DOT break. Driving truck in Cali is a bitch no thanks to the CHP.

I don't think I'm gonna have the grades for a top 10 though. Besides I have to get out of CA before it sinks into the ocean.;D

[Sassy]

No problem.

I love the snow.

You guys don't know how lucky you are.
Give me San Diego ... You can have my ND winters!
We were in Diego last year for the game...you guys got more rain in that weekend than you did all year...but it was a blast! ;D

[Hotwheelz]

To each his own.

[Pezman]

Hahahaha! Dont take it wrong, but I love that law :thumbsup:
Trucks in Colorado and especially north of I-25 in those two lanes was such a horror.

I just thought of another wonderful San Diego thing btw... no defrosting the car in the morning. Ever!

[Hotwheelz]

I know I went too. I loved it.

[Pezman]

And of course, well again, dont take it wrong Red Rocket RC, but great, just what Colorado needs... another Californian. I mean isnt Highlands Ranch an Eastern suburb of California? Ha!

[Dudeskey]

Hahahaha! Dont take it wrong, but I love that law :thumbsup:


yeah the 55 speed limit selectively enforced by the CHP. They look the other way when a car towing is going 70 although they are supposed to be following the 55 speed limit. Thats not as big a deal to me as how inspection-happy they are. Banning is the worst.

Banning is one hell of a scary stretch of road my friend, especially if you ever have to take Hwy 60 through the San Jacincto pass. Holy crap. I'm a white knuckled driver there at all times. Plus, the cops there are as heavy handed as I've ever seen in the Cali desert. All in all, a good place to avoid altogether.

Yeah, generally I try to stay on the 10, especially with all the construction on the 215/60 interchange. Sometimes I don't have a choice though if I have to go down to Perris to pick up a load from the Lowes distribution center. Otherwise I try not to go into LA til after 10pm if I don't need to.

CU has three Nobel prize winners, Tom Cech-Chemistry 1989, Carl E. Wieman-Physics 2001, John L. Hall-Physics 2005.

Hows that for dedication?

San Diego hot?? Try spending a summer in New Orleans without AC in your apartment.

"oh but it's a dry heat...." Ha!

[BABronco]

Try living in Oklahoma. There is alot of heat here and its fairly humid in the ne region.

[boltaneer]

This may indeed be a first. Someone complaining about San Diego's weather? I can't think of a place in the US that has nicer weather outside of Hawaii.

I don't know what Palm Springs has to do with San Diego but...

one less Bronco fan here is fine with me! :D

Seriously I hate the heat man. And the Chargers.:yayaya:

[SportinOne]

It took me a while, but San Diego has finally grown on me.

Whoever said it is right, you don't really appreciate it here until you go somewhere else. It's hot sometimes, but never too hot to do anything. Growing up in Wisconsin, it would get SO hot in the summer time that you couldn't do anything sometimes... and ever worse, it was humid! It's really never humid in San Diego. The best part is that you can do anything you want on any day of the week. You never have to check the weather before planning something, ever.

It took me about a year and a half to get over the fact that blonde girls in bikinis weren't going to spontaneously fill my house every weekend, with guest appearances by Snoop Dogg. Like everywhere else, it's what you make of it... it's just that in San Diego, you really don't have to try too hard.

Oh, plus i'm 21 now... that makes a huge difference here.

EDIT: Oh, and i hate the Chargers as well. I hate the bandwagon fans, i hate Shawn Ferriman and his stupid light switch tatoo.... just a horrible organization..

Hey hey hey. Dont hate on south siders just cause it stinks at the border crossing haha.

dude SD is Fing beautiful. try living in the central valley wehre summers are 110 and there is like 5 light rains in the year. you're stuck with chargers, 9ers, raiders, then seahawks/broncos/cardinals. you cant complain about living in SD dude. and youll freeze your ass in colorado if uve been living in SD all your life

i was just at berkely these last few days for a camp. the stadium is crap and fits the name memorial stadium. almost all of the seats are wood, actual seats. everything is steep. if u do go, i would suggest the foothill dorms, they are very nice and the food is great for cafeteria buffet, however. also, the people are very weird for the most part lol. not much football interst

RC,

Im headed to Denver this fall. Going to attend Metropolitan State College of Denver. From what I hear from everyone else, its a good school and its right by Pepsi Center, Coors Field, and last but not least about 2 miles from Mile High, if that. Anyway Metro offered what I want to study which CSU did not so I choose Metro. I also considered Boise State but thats in BFE lol no offense Boise folks.

What did they offer?

[24champ]

Well I am going to have to talk with my Advisor on what two majors ( Anthropology/ History) which one would be best for me. I like studying cultural stuff and history etc etc...anyway they also offer a GIS certificate which is the field I want to get in.

The Heat? I lived in Carlsbad for 3 years and it rarely gets warmer than 73 deg.

[ludo21]

Can you use your MD to your advantage and get a scholarship?

[freak6]

You're kidding right? I have friends that go there and everyone b****es because it's a commuter school.

No, I loved CU Denver. It's not boulder with frats and parties, its denver so you can work in a career, not a job, and go to school. The schedule is great too, I only went 2 days a week, the other days I was either at Copper Mtn, working, or balling.

I'm a CU Alum so I am not knocking them. Mines in state tuition is just slightly higher than CU, but some of the other costs are lower. They offer a much more concentrated cirriculum (difficult) in their specialty areas (mostly engineering) and their students usually have guaranteed jobs by the end of their junior year at 1.5 to 2 times the national average for those disciplines. With the new President and the money he can raise, I expect Mines to boom, just like U of Denver has after they got the contributions rolling in.

[Dempsey Dog]

Your diffinately mistaken on all accounts. I broke my leg and had class at both ends of campus, and had no problem on crutches in the winter.

If the above writing is indicative of CU's academics, you would definitely want to go to CSU. You will get what you paid for and know how to use commas, proper spelling, and apostrophes.

Now since I have some pretty strong ties to THE University of Arizona, that ASU stuff is another matter ;D

That's a great suggestion ... the CU-Denver campus is in downtown Denver - right next to the Pepsi Center.

But forget about CSU, RedRocket, you should do like BroncoBUFF did .... go to Boulder for your first year (best college town in America) and then finish at CU-Denver.
