It’s easy to find a drink or a bite to eat nearby, from local favorites like Black Bottle Brewery and Wild Boar Café near the southeast corner and the popular eateries along Elizabeth Street on the west side, near the intramural fields. Positioned at the base of the Front Range, living near Colorado State means you’ll get to enjoy stellar views of the Rocky Mountains every day, with weekend excursions into the vast nearby nature preserves only a short drive away.
