Living in Boulder

Whether you are going to a concert at the historic Fox Theatre on University Hill, cycling the creek path, or strolling the Pearl Street Mall, you will enjoy the diverse activities Boulder has to offer.

Off-Campus Housing
Most graduate students typically live in one of the many apartments, condominiums, or houses in Boulder. Off-Campus Student Services (a service of UCSU) maintains listings of rooms, houses, and apartments for rent in the Boulder community. Students may come to the office in the University Memorial Center to obtain a set of computerized rental listings (available for a small fee). Students wishing to receive information through the mail may do so by sending $10 (within the United States) and $15 (outside the United States) to Off-Campus Student Services, 206 UCB, Boulder, CO 80309-0206. Checks should be made payable to the University of Colorado. The packet will include an apartment complex summary, a Boulder map, the Boulder Tenant's Guide, and other pertinent information on living and renting in Boulder.

Family Housing
For families, married couples, and single parents, the university maintains furnished and unfurnished one-, two-, or three-bedroom apartments a short walk from campus. A limited number of efficiency or studio apartments are available to single graduate students who are 21 or older. Prices here are less expensive than in the Boulder community. Eligible applicants must be registered as full-time students. Only students and members of their immediate families may reside here. These apartment complexes offer onsite laundry facilities, playgrounds, and access to the day care center for housing residents. Nearby shopping is accessible by walking or city bus.
