CU campus
The suburban campus of CU combines features of an urban and rural campus. It is located outside the big city, which allows you to focus on your studies. However, it is also not too far, opening up access to more types of recreation, both outdoors and in the city (theaters, museums, restaurants). The university has a library where students can do their homework, write scientific papers or just read interesting books. CU accepts students for international exchange programs. This is a great opportunity to gain experience in intercultural communication for both international and local students.
