If you’re a recent undergrad heading toward graduate territory, you’re probably working through the logistics of this transition.
How will your schedule change? Will you need to find a job? What are you in for, exactly?
And most importantly – where will you live?
Your living situation is likely to change during this new phase of life, and that’s totally normal. We’ve been managing CU Boulder graduate housing for years and are happy to help you in your search.
What to Look For
In our experience, we’ve noticed that many graduate students prefer a more quiet, private space where they can study or relax. For CU students, that essentially translates as “far from University Hill,” a bustling and lively neighborhood known for constant activity, parties, and events.
That being said, grad students also need a place that is relatively close to campus. Although they won’t be in classes as much as they were during undergrad, many still have responsibilities on campus.
And last, but certainly not least, as a grad student, you’ll likely want to live comfortably – or at least, a step above your dorm and undergrad living environments. We’re talking amenities and conveniences to make life a little bit better – and that work/life balance clearer.
It might seem like a lot to consider in your search for CU Boulder graduate housing, but that’s where we come in.
Below, we’ve shared our top 3 favorite housing options (that you may have missed):
