Love your life at DU.

At the University of Denver, you'll find a lively residential campus set in the middle of a large, vibrant city that's just a short drive from the adventure-filled Rocky Mountains. Here you awake every day sensing the energy and opportunity surrounding you. We're a community of active, healthy doers with high expectations and deeply held optimism. What you'll learn at DU is that you can "DU" anything.

Get involved in student life.

From theater to spirituality and politics to business, more than 100 student groups offer something for every interest. Meet new friends while performing with a musical ensemble, participating in a leadership class or planting trees during Earth Week. Or, start your own group to find your special niche.

Help improve the human condition.

Committed to promoting the public good, DU provides rich service learning opportunities for you to be an active participant in addressing the great issues of our day. Whether you're moved by sustainability, age-related disease or using the arts as a cultural bridge, here you will make an immediate impact.

Find a place that feels like home.

Live in on-campus housing, living and learning communities for students with common interests or furnished apartments for graduate students. Whatever your situation, DU has options for your new home-away-from-home.

Live the active Colorado lifestyle.

Find yourself cheering-on the Pioneers or going steep and deep with the Alpine Club. DU's diverse and competitive athletic scene includes a variety of club sports and recreational activities that you're sure to enjoy, especially with 300 days of sunshine a year!

Enjoy outdoor adventure and urban culture.

Hit the slopes, grab a quick bite at a downtown bistro, and catch a show at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House-all in the same day. At DU, you'll have outdoor adventure plus big-city business, culture and nightlife, right in your back yard.
