Student Life
Campus 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.
Sports facilities
- Climb a “fourteener” during the day and catch a Rockies game in the evening.
- Go to class in the morning and out for a hike in the afternoon.
- Soak in the Colorado sunshine, whether you're skiing black diamonds, kayaking class IIIs or cruising the city on your fat-tire.
Student clubs
- Student organizations, clubs, leadership retreats, cultural events, intramurals, films, study groups ... at CU Denver, the list goes on and on. We want students to know they belong—to feel connected and included.
- With more than 120 recognized student organizations, you are sure to find the group, or multiple groups, that match your interests!
