Overview

See CU Boulder's campus, plus the side of CU Boulder the official campus tour skips. On this private walking tour led by a current student, you'll explore University Hill, the heart of student life, and get an honest, behind the scenes look at what life at CU is really like. Walk the social scene and Greek life row, check out housing options, and discover the best local restaurants, coffee shops, and student hangouts. Ask anything you want and get straight answers about campus culture, academics, and daily life from someone living it right now. It's the perfect complement to the admissions tour and exactly what prospective students and families need to decide if CU is the right fit.

- Private tour tailored to your group's interests, lasting 60 to 90 minutes
- Led by an actual CU Boulder student for authentic, unscripted insights
- Covers key landmarks, dining, nightlife, housing, and local culture
- Ideal for prospective students, families, transfers, and alumni revisiting campus

    University of Colorado Boulder (pass by)

    Explore CU Boulder's main campus with a current student as your guide.

You'll see the University Memorial Center student union, the campus bookstore, and the everyday spots students pass through between classes. Set right under the Flatirons, this is the real student experience, not a scripted admissions tour. Your guide gives you the honest take on housing, classes, clubs, and daily life as a Buff.
