Your success at CU Boulder depends on the experience you design for yourself. Part of the college experience, whether you're a freshman or a senior, is gaining independence in your academic and personal life. Don't worry, you're not alone! Your advisor can help you grow your independence by providing guidance and insight on your academic path, while also connecting you to on-campus resources.
