Thinking about visiting? ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø sits at the base of the Rocky Mountains with a straight-shot view of 14,115-foot snow-capped Pikes Peak and what feels like endless sunshine and clear, blue skies. It's objectively stunning. No photo has ever done it justice, which is why we think you should just come see it for yourself.

Why Visit

Seeing ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø changes everything.

The views are stunning—we won't pretend otherwise. But ask any ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø student what made them choose this place, and they'll tell you it wasn't Pikes Peak (although it certainly doesn't hurt). It was the energy, the rhythm, the community. Most students say the visit is what made their decision easy.

The Place

Three miles from the Rockies. Three blocks to downtown. Here, we treat the whole city as a classroom.

Plan your visit

Make a weekend of it.

We're biased, but Colorado Springs is worth more than a quick in-and-out. We put together a visitor's guide with our favorite spots around the city, as well as directions, parking, and a friendly reminder that 6,035 feet above sea level is no joke. Drink water before you arrive. You’ll thank us later.

ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Visits You

We go where the students are.

Our admission counselors don't spend all their time in Colorado Springs. They're out there, visiting high schools, showing up at college fairs, and hosting events across the country. And for the times when in-person just isn't possible, we bring ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø to you online. Want us at your school or college fair? Get in touch! We'd love to make it happen.

College Fairs

Stop by our table if we're in your area! Grab some ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø swag, ask your questions, and get a feel for what makes ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø different. We promise we're more fun than the average college fair table.

High School Visits

Is one of our admission counselors coming to your school? Join a small -group conversation where you can ask everything you've been wondering about ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø—the Block Plan, financial aid, campus life, all of it.

Regional Events

From info sessions to special events, we host gatherings across the country throughout the year. Your chance to meet our team and hear all about ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø.
Hear from students

We could tell you. But they say it better.

Most of us read reviews before weÌýbuy something. Shouldn't you do the same for college? We think so. That's why we offer multiple ways to hear straight from the people who actually go here—before you ever set foot on campus.
