Privilege... "this is the life" at CU Boulder. 

Privilege Example #1

From ours truly, privilege is the overall culture of CU boulder. This video is just a sampling of the 30,000 student population here in Boulder, but it is pretty spot on with the majority of the students. What do we Boulder kids love about college here?? We can hike, bike, ski, party, dine, shop, attend sporting events, rage at concerts, socialize, get involved in greek life, tan, explore, and did I mention earn a degree? If this is not a the biggest privilege of a college experience, than I don't know what is? Most of the students here at CU are just accustomed to this lifestyle and anything different would be less than satisfactory for them. They are also used to being surrounded by people like them: wealthy, privileged, educated, and white. The diversity at CU is extremely lacking, but the students here don't seem to mind, the white ones at least.

As a student here at CU, I have become much more aware of the privileged life that I have but I have also come to realize that very few people have this type of opportunity. My awareness has expanded because of the close-minded people I have been surround with this semester and I have really seen how this bubble type environment can really separate different types and classes of people. The elitist vibe that I pick up in Boulder is something that truly nauseates me because most of the people going to school here do not even realize how lucky they are to have this opportunity.
