With Colorado's more than 300 days of glorious sunshine each year, it's always a good time to go outdoors for a little fun in the sun—and snow. You can head to the heights of the Rockies for snowboarding, skiing, rafting, camping, you name it. You can also stay within city limits and still find a thrill—hiking, biking, and more. What could be better than living, studying, and having fun in the place the world comes to play?
Our students are literally in the real world every day. The university's Denver Campus and its Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora put students, faculty and researchers in the thick of urban opportunities and issues.
The Anschutz Medical Campus is the world's only completely new education, research and patient care facility and the largest academic health center between Chicago, Texas and the West Coast. It is located in Aurora, a city with a budding arts scene, more than 100 ethnically diverse restaurants, and recreational opportunities ranging from boating to hiking.
The university's Downtown Campus holds classes on the Auraria Campus (shared with two other colleges) and in high-rise buildings along Lawrence Street in Denver's Theater District. Students may live in on-campus apartments or in affordable properties near the campus and along the convenient light rail lines.
The Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora is a new health care city with state-of-the-art facilities designed for excellence in education, research and clinical care.
