Congrats!!! From what I know, Leeds is a very good regional business school. Strong recruiting in Denver and the west. If I am not mistaking they also have a decent entrepreneurial program and a strong focus on sustainable business. Don't know how strong the are in the tradition GM, MC and IB fields.
Boulder is a GREAT town. I used to live in Colorado Springs and spent a bunch of time in Boulder. If you like the outdoors (hiking, biking, etc) this is the place for you. If you like to ski there is no other business school that I can think of that is as close to some of the best sking in the world. From Boulder you are about 60 minutes from Breckenridge, Keystone and A Basin, about 90 minutes from Vail, and about 2 hours from Aspen. For $500 you can get a season pass for Breck, A Basin and Keystone plus 10 days at Vail. When I lived in the Springs, I would go skiing every weekend. Anyway, even if you don't ski, there is still lots of great things to do in Boulder.
