Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The climate, social opportunities, intense academics, and the chance to become involved in a variety of activities (even as a first-year student) sways visitors within moments of stepping onto Colorado College's campus. Incoming students and those planning to apply should drop in for a visit, either for the day or overnight.

More than most other colleges, CC earns respect from its current students and graduates for the training it provides in many areas that serves students well throughout their careers. Aside from social and academic elements, CC brings amazing speakers and activities to campus. Better yet, with all the grants and funding available for student projects, rarely a night passes without a student giving a presentation about his or her adventures hiking in Tibet, helping immigrants survive at the U.S.-Mexico border, or interning in the Antarctic. It’s possible to get an education nearly anywhere, but to get a real educational experience, CC is a perfect choice.

Athletics at Colorado College

Hockey

Hockey pretty much dominates the athletic scene. Games against DU have great attendance and the whole community gets involved. On campus soccer and lax games are real fun to watch as they are on campus and have great seating, especially soccer.

Not Much Need

Student who don't have a car at school do not really suffer at all because Colorado College has an incredibly small campus. Most things you'd need downtown are easily within walking or biking distance, and the weather is usually wonderful!

Colorado College also provides a shuttle, Campus Safety, and Safe Ride to transport anyone around Colorado Springs and the Colorado College Campus. They're all free- it's wonderful.

Students can bring a car, parking is easy, and it's pretty inexpensive.

Diversity at Colorado College

Super Diverse

I was accepted into the Bridge Program at Colorado College where a group of about sixty first generation, international, and minority students went to campus about two weeks early to learn about assimilating into the college lifestyle. It was during this program that I met kids from all over the entire world, from countries I've never heard of.

Economically, I think there is less diversity, but everyone is very accepting of all levels of economic backgrounds in my opinion.

There are so many different religions on campus, and all of them are accepted and participatd in. Our nondenominational chapel on campus can be used by many of the groups, so everyone can participate in whatever religion they like.

Sexual orientation is very wide-ranged on campus and many different forms of media talk about all the organizations and movements on campus to promote acceptance.
