The Best of City Living

clocktowerAs one of the fastest growing cities in the America, Denver is a paradoxical place. Miles of walking and biking trails weave throughout the many downtown parks, which are located next to some of the finest cultural centers such as the Denver Center for Performing Arts, the Museum of Nature and Science, and the Denver Art Museum. For fun and adventure you can head over to Six Flags Elitch Gardens or try out a new mountain bike at the flagship R.E.I. store. For sports enthusiasts, there are plenty of opportunities to get out and catch a game. The Rockies, Nuggets, the Avalanche, and the Broncos stadiums are all located within walking distance of the mass transit light rail system. If you would rather just hang out, the streets of downtown are lined with a diverse assortment of shops and restaurants of every variety, but all you need to do is look up and to the west to remember you’re only a few miles away from the mountains. Being so close to the city also offers CCU students countless opportunities to take their college skills into the real world with different job and internship possibilities. The many corporations and independently owned businesses can help you get an edge in the working world.
