CU in the City

Mile High Life

At CU Denver, the Mile High City is our campus. As a Lynx, you’ll live in one of America’s healthiest, fastest-growing and most vibrant cities. In Colorado, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds: the bright lights and limitless possibilities of Denver and the pristine vistas and endless adventures that beckon in the Rocky Mountains.

If it involves sunshine (did we mention 300 sunny days a year?) and the outdoors, Colorado has you covered!
