University of Colorado at Colorado Springs Parent Guide
Welcome to Colorado Springs!
You and your student will be thrilled to experience all that our great city has to offer.
Colorado Springs has been among the top five fittest cities in the US for the past nine years, according to Men’s Fitness magazine. We’re currently ranked number two!
It’s easy to see why we’re always on the list. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, awe-inspiring natural beauty and the fresh mountain air, there’s never a lack of things to do or see, especially in the outdoors. Hike or bike our many trails, even to the summit of America’s Mountain, Pikes Peak. Rock climb the infamous red spires of Garden of the Gods, brave the Arkansas River in a kayak, canoe or tour-guided raft.
Due to an eclectic mix of past residents and benefactors, we have a rich and truly unique heritage.
