The type of student who should attend UCCS is highly outgoing, ambitious, adventure-seeking, and disciplined. Rocky Mountain views exist everywhere on campus, keeping the student constantly planning their next expedition. Without the hustle-bustle of the UC Denver and Boulder locations, UC Springs offers the ideal environment for those committed to furthering themselves as individuals, while taking their down time seriously! Garden of the Gods, Red Rocks, and other major hiking destinations go well in tandem with all of the best resorts in Colorado, many less than 2 hours drive away!
