Thursday Thirteen
My daughter will be heading out this fall to graduate school at the University of Colorado at Boulder, so I did some searching on the Internet and unearthed a few facts to compare Boulder to home (Salt Lake City). She actually attended
Westminster College here in Salt Lake, but I used the U as comparison because she considered it for grad school as well, but decided she wanted to go out of state instead.

1. Salt Lake City is home to the
University of Utah ("The U") (left)
2. Boulder is home to the
University of Colorado ("CU") (right)
3. Salt Lake is the larger city with an approx. population of 179,000
4. Boulder's population is approx. 92,000
5. Boulder is higher in elevation at 5,430 ft above sea level
6. Salt Lake is 4,226 ft above sea level
7. Salt Lake is the Capital of Utah
8. Boulder is located approx 25 miles NW of Denver, Colorado's Capital
9. Salt Lake is slightly older, having been founded in 1847
10. Boulder was founded in 1858
11. The U was founded in 1850
12. CU was founded in 1876
13. Both schools are their respective state's "flagship" universities
She had five schools to choose from, but I think she chose a place close to home that looked like home. What do you think?

She will need to find strong Christian support right away. It's notorious for being a party school.
By the way, yes, I went to Milan earlier this year and am eager to put the research onto paper.
Hugs and blessings,
thanx for visiting my tt re Shakespeare
Hope she has a great experience! I hear good things about the school.
my oldest will be a senior in high school next year, so she's currently trying to decide where to apply to college. so many options!
btw snow on may 1 is just plain wrong!
My 13 is a gross group of funny advertisements I made up for fun, and using this week's 'gross' theme for T-13. Hope you can stop by.
