It's easy to find your niche here. CU Boulder has more than 300 academic, political, social, religious and recreational clubs for you to choose from.
Boulder is known as one of the best places to live because of its beautiful setting, 43,000 acres of open space, more than 80 miles of pedestrian and bike paths and convenient bus system.
Whether your interests include ethnic or cultural heritage, political involvement or environmental issues, joining a club is a great way to get involved and meet people.
As a CU-Boulder student, you'll have countless opportunities to meet new people, try new things, gain knowledge and push yourself to new limits. Set yourself up for success by creating an academic and social support network that includes your academic advisor as well as friends and/or groups that keep you engaged in campus life.

All students, regardless of their background, will have a more enriching college experience when they are exposed to a plurality of ideas, life experiences and perspectives. As such, CU-Boulder continually works to create a more inclusive community that is productive, positive and safe as well as respectful of all viewpoints.
CU-Boulder embraces the involvement of every student, staff and faculty member, recognizing that a truly diverse community includes individuals from a range of ethnic, regional, cultural, economic and religious backgrounds as well as first-generation students, persons with disabilities, students who are parents, people of different sexual and gender orientations, people of different ages and political viewpoints and many others.
As a member of the Boulder community and the University of Colorado Boulder, I agree to:
- Act with honor, integrity and accountability in my interactions with students, faculty, staff and neighbors.
- Respect the rights of others and accept our differences.
- Contribute to the greater good of this community.
I will strive to uphold these principles in all aspects of my collegiate experience and beyond.
The Colorado Creed's success is due to the passion of a few students and a sustained grassroots level movement by the entire campus and Boulder community. It is from the students and for the students.
