Housing
Living in a residence hall is a great way for freshman students to make the transition to college life. CU-Boulder residence halls offer a complete living environment with lots of social activities and additional services like academic tutoring. Many halls also contain dining centers, faculty and administrative offices, and small classrooms.
As part of the first-year experience, students may participate in our residential academic programs (RAPs) or living and learning communities. These students attend one or two selected courses right in their hall and take advantage of additional activities and opportunities. Learn more >
