The University of Colorado at Boulder (officially University of Colorado Boulder, although also commonly referred to as CU-Boulder, CU, or Colorado) is a public research university located in Boulder, Colorado. It is the flagship university of the University of Colorado system and was founded five months before Colorado was admitted to the union in 1876. According to The Public Ivies: America's Flagship Public Universities (2001), it is considered one of the prestigious "Public Ivy League" schools. The university's colors are officially silver and gold; however, traditional CU items utilize the black-and-gold color scheme.

In 2010, the university consisted of nine colleges and schools and offered over 150 academic programs and enrolled 29,952 students. Eight Nobel Laureates, eight MacArthur Fellows, and 18 astronauts have been affiliated with CU-Boulder as students, researchers, or faculty members in its history. The university received nearly US$454 million in sponsored research in 2010 to fund programs like the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, JILA, and National Institute of Standards and Technology's NIST-F1 atomic clock.

Colorado Buffaloes competes in nine intercollegiate sports in the NCAA Division I Pacific-12 Conference. The Buffaloes have won 24 NCAA championships: 18 in skiing, five total in men's and women's cross country, and one in football. Approximately 1,500 students participate in 34 intercollegiate club sports annually as well.

Cheers erupted along with a heavy cloud of smoke as an estimated 10000 people - mostly CU students joined by friends from out of town and some local residents - lit up to celebrate at an annual pot-smoking rally. Some said they were there to advocate for the legalization of marijuana. Others - including some who came just to watch - said it was all for fun. "It's like, why do people drink beer on St. Patrick's Day?" said a 22-year-old "super senior" who didn't want to give his name. "It's a holiday. Like the Fourth of July." The number 420 is slang for marijuana. Across the country each year, pro-pot rallies are held on April 20 or 4/20. Though there were events all day long on the CU campus, from an art display to live bands, the students chose 4:20 pm for the massive smoke-up at Norlin Quadrangle. A few guys played drums. Some girls danced. Beach balls and Frisbees flew through the air. CU police monitored the gathering, with 15 campus officers and six Boulder County sheriff's deputies stationed around the perimeter and directing traffic. According to a news release, the focus was to "maintain a safe environment and discourage potentially hazardous activities." No citations were issued and there were no arrests, although there were four medical <b>...</b>
