Around Town

There's always some kind of athletic event going on, if that's your kind of thing. Hockey is huge. Tickets to every home game are free for students and even if hockey isn't really your thing, it's still tons of fun to cheer on the Tigers. There is also a constant stream of art galleries, theater productions, and our beloved A Capella concerts. House parties are always an option but if you prefer something a little less crowded, the school hires a professional company to throw parties throughout the year.

Hiking, Skiing, snowboarding, intramural sports, go to a Hockey game

There are a lot of outdoor activities to do (hike, bike, slackline, snowboard, ski, raft, etc.). Also, there are many club activities.

They have various clubs, outings, study abroad classes and school events.

Lots of inter-mural sports, guest speakers on a variety of topics, midnight breakfast gatherings on the weekends, free CC hockey games, and the beautiful outdoors of Colorado to explore.

I hang out with friends for fun and we play video games in the dorm, go for walks along the canal, or just talk in the hallway, We have a blast!

CC parties harder than you'd expect, but if you're not into that scene, there is plenty more you can do. Sacred Grounds is a night-time hang out where tea is served, and occasionally, baked goods. People are also super active at CC, and it is easy to get into climbing, slack-lining, and other outdoor activities. Block breaks also offer many fun outdoor trips.

Colorado Springs isn't the best, but it's also not the worst. Downtown has many local restaurants, shops, a movie theater, etc. There's not a huge selection, but it's very close to campus and students often hang out downtown in the afternoons or on weekends. There are also a lot of outdoor sights nearby, including Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak. Many students enjoy hiking, trail running, rock climbing, backpacking, camping, etc. at these places and other outdoor areas near the Springs. Skiing/snowboarding is really popular in the winter. Block Breaks are a great time to travel and see various parts of Colorado or the Southwest.
