Colorado School of Trades

What are the popular events and traditions at Colorado School of Trades?

Colorado School of Trades' public identity is tied more closely to gunsmithing instruction than to large, recurring campus celebrations. Applicants should not expect a university-style calendar of homecoming or intercollegiate sports events.

Program demonstrations, employer visits, and graduation activities may be more relevant to a prospective student's experience, but their schedules and formats can change. Students interested in meeting employers or seeing classmates' work should ask for the current academic and events calendar rather than relying on a past year's activities.

What are the student housing and dining options at Colorado School of Trades?

Colorado School of Trades does not provide college-owned or college-operated undergraduate housing. Students moving to Lakewood must arrange their own accommodation; admission to the school does not include a residence-hall place.

Applicants should budget for off-campus rent, utilities, food, and transportation in addition to school charges. When comparing apartments, the practical questions are travel time to class, lease length relative to the program, and whether a car or transit route will make the daily schedule workable. Students should also confirm what food preparation or dining options are available during a typical day on site rather than assuming a campus meal plan.
