BOULDER – The Peak of Excitement!

Student life in Boulder centers around the town’s restaurants, shops, art galleries, museums, movie theaters and concert halls. UNIVERSITY HILL (known as "The Hill") is the ultimate setting for students to gather with friends. PEARL STREET, a short bike ride or rollerblading excursion away, is Boulder’s fabulous outdoor mall – filled with street performers, outdoor cafes and boutiques. The 16-mile BOULDER CREEK PATH, unparalleled for scenic walking, biking and rollerblading, runs right past campus and through the city.

RESIDENCE HALL LIFE… YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME

The residence halls at CU – Boulder are alive with “Spirit.” For maximum security, all Summer Study students are housed in our dedicated residence halls, allowing us complete control. Students live with one or two roommates in comfortable and spacious rooms, containing individual beds, desks, chairs, a telephone, refrigerator/freezer and microwave oven. When taking a study break, the residence hall lounge is a great place to meet, watch cable television, enjoy a movie in our mini-theater, or just “hang out.”

DINING

Our residence hall area houses its own attractively furnished student dining hall. While on campus, Monday through Friday, 3 meals per day are served. On weekends, brunch and dinner are served. All meals offer a wide variety and selection of tasty foods, prepared fresh daily and planned by a nutritionist. The "All You Can Eat" dining plan includes choices from delicious entrees, salad bars, frozen yogurt, desserts and beverages.
