University Memorial Center
The UMC puts a lot of effort into promoting a multicultural environment. The student groups and organizations located in the UMC organize events of concentrated interest including receiving important guest speakers and providing opportunities for useful networking. There is a wide variety of student organizations and the UMC helps draw these organizations together to create a global community of intellectual, cultured and enthused students. Conference rooms, ball rooms, study tables and very comfortable couches are found everywhere. The UMC has several food courts with various dining franchises. The CU Bookstore and CU Connection (Bowling, Pool & Disco hall) are located on the first floor. The UMC always has such an active and lively atmosphere that motivates a student to socialize, meet new people and to get involved. This extracurricular encouragement is vital for success. The UMC is a great place to be, at all times.

Housing in Boulder
Boulder has many options for Off-campus living that range from studio apartments to 33 bedroom houses. Off campus housing surrounds the perimeter of campus from all around. Prices are relatively high making it harder to find affordable deals easily but one can find great deals if he or starts looking for a place a semester before moving in. Houses are usually older and their utilities are more expensive. It would be recommended to find at least 3 people to live with in a house; it makes the rent cheaper for more amenities.

Weather in Boulder
Spring and Fall are the most breathtaking times of year. These two seasons show beautiful colors that define Colorado. Winters are biting cold because of the very dry weather and altitude. It snows about 4 to 5 months a year. Summers are great but it can get very hot around July and August. Fans or air-conditioning is a must.
