Colorado Colleges | Campus Visit Information
An in-person trip to a school is a great way to see if it is the right place for you to be. We've listed campus tours/visit information for a number of Colorado schools here. If a school you're interested in isn't listed here, you can always go to that school's website, reach out to your college counselor at school, or contact your Denver Urban Scholars Program Manager. College campus visits are a great activity that you can do with your mentor too!
Mentors and mentees can set up times to take tours together, or with enough interest, Denver Urban Scholars can attempt to set up group visits. Please let us know if you are interested in attending a visit day and need help getting there or getting more information!
