Our Town - Our campus is in the center of Fort Collins, Colorado, just at the base of the Rocky Mountain foothills. A city of about 120,000, Fort Collins offers a unique blend of big city advantages and small town friendliness. You?ll find everything you need ? several shopping malls, hundreds of restaurants, six movie complexes, a regional cultural center, natural areas, and miles of bike trails ? right here in town. In fact, A&E Television featured Fort Collins as one of America?s ten most livable cities. The network chose Fort Collins for its combination of friendliness, natural beauty, outdoor activity, low crime, thriving economy, and historic charm.
The Great Outdoors - Fort Collins also an ideal location for exploring the Colorado mountains and rivers, and all they have to offer. From camping, hiking, snowboarding, downhill and cross-country skiing to rafting, fishing, or water skiing, you?ll find it all within a short drive from town. And with the city?s agreeable climate of 300 days of sunshine a year, you?re able to take year-round advantage of the spectacular surroundings.
Denver - Located 65 miles south of campus, the Mile-High City is filled with history, art, culture, entertainment and energy - all at the foot of the majestic Rocky Mountains. A quick day-trip, or even a long weekend, can be the perfect way to see the sights, enjoy the music scene, or cheer one of four professional sports teams.
