thanks for your input, i was worried this thread would be buried and no one would see it. is boulder a college town? is it expensive to live there? also, i'm just going to come out and say it: i'm a big pot smoker, and frankly one of the reasons i'm looking to colorado is that pot is legal there and i'd like to live in a place where i'm not technically breaking the law every night. do you know anything about the pot scene? i do think the outside activity stuff sounds interesting, although i'm not really an outdoorsy guy. from your description, boulder sounds like coral gables which is where i am now - a college town that is 45 minutes drive from the notorious south beach party scene.

Yes it is a college town, but it is a bit more urban than your typical college town. It is also right next to the mountains (literally) which is something I enjoy. Rent is expensive but if you have roommates it should be fine. There are lot of hippies in Boulder so yes plenty of pot.

  i'm actually thinking of getting my own place, because i work frequently from home and enjoy my privacy. can you give me an idea of how much a decent 1-br would cost per month in rent? also, how's the weather there? is it always cold?

    rent: http://boulder.craigslist.org/apa/ http://boulder.craigslist.org/apa/ It is sunny most of the time maybe even more than Florida. It is not humid either. When the sun is out in winter, it feels warm even if it is 30 degrees. It is very cold if there is a winter storm, but the snow melts almost immediately and it is back to feeling warm during the day. Summers are very pleasant. And unlike the Midwest (where I grew up), it is warmer overall in the winter and there is stuff to do.
