Living on Campus

Campus Village Apartments
​In an effort to improve the quality of our undergraduate experience, the Denver Campus has a live-in requirement for first-time first-year and first-time international students. All students are required to live in the Campus Village Apartments at Auraria. No other apartments or buildings meet the live-in policy requirement; students may NOT live at the Inn at Auraria, the Auraria Lofts, or the Regency.

Benefits of living on-campus

Research has shown that living in student housing during the first year has numerous benefits for students both academically and socially. Students who live on-campus their first year experience:
  • higher graduation rates than students who live off-campus.
  • a higher level of satisfaction with their college experience.
  • a higher level of involvement in clubs and activities on campus.
  • more frequent interaction with faculty members and peers.

University Honors and Leaders, Denver Bound, and BA/BS to MD Theme Floor
For the 2013-2014 academic year, Campus Village and CU Denver will offer a living community for students accepted to the University Honors and Leaders program, Denver Bound, and the BA/BS to MD programs. Students will live together in a designated section of the building to facilitate academic relationships and overall success.

This floor is academically focused and will have the resources and tools needed to be a successful in the health profession.
