Right in the Heart of Colorado


Located in the mile high city, University of Denver is an amazing place to go to college. I have been to Colorado many times throughout my life to go snowboarding and it is awesome in the winter. I also hear that Colorado is gorgeous during the summer and there are so many things to do. Denver is a great town that has everything for the college student.

At 2199 South University Boulevard in Denver, Colorado lies the University of Denver, which is ranked #85 on USNews.com's America's Best Colleges of 2008. This school has everything to offer to a student. The school was founded in 1864 and has no religious affiliation. There are currently about 5,122 undergraduate students enrolled and is a private institution. It is in a suburban to urban area and has many shops and other cool places nearby. The cost of the school is close to $40,000 per year including tuition, room, and board.

Like other colleges, the University of Denver is completely wireless, meaning that a student can access the internet from basically anywhere that is affiliated with the college. About half of the students live on campus at DU, 46% to be exact. The greek life at UD isn't really that big with only 15% of males entered in fraternities and only 11% of females in sororities. This is actually close to the numbers of most colleges so do not let that turn you off.

UD is also a great place to go for sports. I know of a couple people at my school who are actually going there for lacrosse. They have everything a student could ask for, such as club sports, intermural, and varsity sports. DU's campus is breathtaking and has a huge tower that stands out wherever one is. If a student wants a great school, with a great town not far away, then University of Denver is the place. Whether it's summer or winter, anyone can have a great time in Denver.
