  - Jeez... -- nm* - Diva Jan 29, 16:30
- From this moment on, the narrative for anyone who supported this protest has changed. - Mop Jan 29, 16:17 7

  - Colorado is way more expensive out of state and gives very little in the way of scholarships to non-residents. - spamlet Jan 29, 15:29 12
    - Though they were both going to be in-state (my second year at least) I had a similar experience with A&M and Texas - ty97 Jan 29, 15:32 2
      - Going out of state where I went was cheaper than in-state at Illinois. - spamlet Jan 29, 15:34 1
        
        We had just moved from NY to TX so it was out of state tuition the my first year and it costs about the same as NY in-state (back then at least) -- nm* - ty97 Jan 29, 15:36

        It was mainly the mountains that were the big draw. -- nm - spamlet Jan 29, 16:00 2
        
        And the Mork & Mindy house! -- nm - Baron Enero Jan 29, 16:19
        
        No looking at the mountains! Look at your books! Study more! - ty97 Jan 29, 16:04
        
        Also, being ~4 drive from home is a world of difference from having to fly home (or drive 12+ hours) -- nm - ty97 Jan 29, 15:39
- Krusty can teach you the ways. -- nm - Tim Jan 29, 15:23 1
