Enjoying an ideal Downtown location, the University of Colorado Denver combines world-class educational opportunities with the resources of one of America’s most beautiful and exciting cities. The Auraria campus (which CU Denver shares with Metropolitan State University of Denver and the Community College of Denver) sits adjacent to the popular LoDo district, giving you direct access to the city’s diverse restaurants, concert venues, art galleries, scenic parks, and energetic nightlife. To the north, lush green spaces like Commons Park line the South Platte River, creating a beautiful outcropping of Colorado’s natural beauty within Denver’s urban core. Sports Authority Field and Coors Field are both within a few blocks, making it easy to catch the Broncos and the Rockies in action. The campus is located in a mainly commercial section of the city, and most of the apartments, condos, and rental homes are at least a couple of blocks away; however, rental rates tend to be quite affordable, with numerous budget-friendly units available within easy walking or biking distance of the university.
