Colorado College

What are the popular events and traditions at Colorado College?

Llamapalooza is a documented Colorado College student music festival, while the Arts & Crafts Fair brings makers and their work together on campus. Both offer a view of student and community activity beyond classes.

Their formats and dates can vary, so prospective students should check current event listings rather than plan around a previous year's schedule. More broadly, Block Plan course exhibitions, performances, and talks can give students occasions to share work with audiences outside a single classroom.

What are the student housing and dining options at Colorado College?

Colorado College offers college-operated, coeducational undergraduate housing, including residence halls and other residential options. About 76% of students lived on campus in the reported measure; that describes actual enrollment, not a guarantee that every applicant will receive a preferred room.

First-year students should review the current residential requirement and housing-assignment process before making plans to live elsewhere. Options for continuing students can differ from first-year placements, and housing preferences do not necessarily determine an assignment. Campus dining includes a main dining facility and other food options, with meal-plan rules that depend on a student's housing arrangement.

Rooms have high-speed internet access. Students comparing on-campus and off-campus living should account for the full arrangement - including meals, utilities, transportation, and the college's housing rules - rather than compare rent alone.
