College Prowler Quotes

Read Hundreds of Quotes from Colorado College Students

Read samples from the Colorado College guide below:

Academics

“Having taken many history and political science classes at CC, I find that the history department has its act together. I have yet to take a class that is poorly taught in history. However, I haven’t had the same experience with political science. While we...”

Diversity

“The cool thing about our student body is that everyone has a story to tell. It’s tough to find a boring CC student, which makes our campus a fun place to be. I always say that there are too many cool kids, and not enough time to hang out with them all.”

Guys & Girls

“The great thing about the students is that most of them are athletic, smart, and motivated. They’re not all hot, but that’s not always the most important thing.”

Athletics

“Sports seem to be popular. All of the students are very active, so they like playing and watching. Varsity sports like hockey get a lot of attention. IM sports are the best way to have a great time and to try sports you may not have played before.”

Academics

One of CC’s most important characteristics is its size. It’s one of the few small liberal arts colleges in the region, and its class size limit of 25 or fewer students per professor engenders an intimate atmosphere unheard of in larger universities. Professors at CC are quick to befriend students, invite them to engage in conversation, and debate both in and out of the classroom. Many professors take a personal interest in their students, although there is the occasional “aloof” professor that seems to see...

Diversity

Like many colleges (especially liberal arts schools), CC makes it a point to emphasize the importance of diversity on campus and the exceptionally high rates of diversity that its particular student body enjoys. In a memo from the President of the school, it was claimed that CC had increased its diversity by nearly 12 percent. On top of the difficulty in interpreting this figure, it’s often challenging to see this supposed smorgasbord of skin colors and ethnicities that the CC administration is so fond of...

Guys & Girls

As a group, the girls at CC are a far cry from the blond bombshells that seem to flock to schools in nearby Arizona and California, and the CC guys are about as different from their Ivy League counterparts as can be. This doesn’t mean, however, that the student body isn’t generally attractive, both physically and otherwise. Girls and guys both are athletic and outdoorsy, and most students seem to have a glow about them that can only come from the Rocky Mountain air. CC girls save the lipstick and mascara...

Athletics

Because students at CC are so active, athletics at all levels are popular. At the varsity level, Division III athletes can choose how seriously to take their sport. Many students seem to dedicate their lives to becoming the best, while others participate only so they can eat and drink more without getting too fat. The point is that students usually play to have fun, not because they’re getting paid, and the result is a fun atmosphere with a serious, competitive side for the truly passionate. Most of the...
