Thinking about visiting? Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ sits at the intersection of the Rocky Mountains and the Southwest, with a straight-shot view of 14,115-foot Pikes Peak, dramatic red-desert rock formations, and what feels like endless sunshine. It’s objectively stunning. No photo has ever done it justice, which is why you should just come see it for yourself.

Why Visit

Seeing Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ changes everything.

The views are stunning—we won’t pretend otherwise. But ask any Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ 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

Open to the Southwest, framed by the Rockies, and just three blocks to downtown—here, the whole city becomes your 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.

Virtual Connections

Can’t make the trip yet? All good. That’s why Wi-Fi exists.

Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Visits You

We go where the students are.

It’s not always easy to visit Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ. We get that—which is why our admission counselors travel, visiting high schools, showing up at college fairs, and hosting events across the country. And if an in-person visit just isn’t possible, we’ll bring Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ to you online. Want us at your school or college fair? Get in touch! We’d love to make it happen.
Contact an Admission Counselor

College Fairs

Stop by our table if we’re in your area! Grab some Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ swag, ask your questions, and get a feel for what makes Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ 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 Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ—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 Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ.
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.

Yes, studying field ecology in the Rockies, exploring communities across the Southwest, and diving into downtown culture sounds amazing. But you probably still have questions. Ask us anything—you’ll get humans on the other end, not bots.
