August 18, 2025 / 7:51 AM MDT / CBS Colorado Moving into college is a family affair, and as a dad to a University of Colorado Boulder sophomore, Manuel Montano is ready to help his daughter get ready for the school year. "We are extremely proud of her," Montano said about his daughter Olga, "She's done so much and come so far, and the sky's the limit for what she's going to do." The Montano family is just one of many moving into Boulder this weekend, creating what's expected to be a record student population. "It's still speculative, but I am expecting it to be slightly bigger than ever," CU Chancellor Justin Schwartz said, explaining that the potential record comes largely from returning students, rather than first years.
