STUDYING IN COLORADO RONAN GAY
Thinking of studying in the USA? The state of Colorado could be your perfect choice. Once home to the mighty stegosaurus, Colorado’s landscape is as varied as it is beautiful. Its cities are an exciting blend of culture, music and food, with an academic reputation up there with the best in the world.
A huge part of studying abroad is about experiencing the new country you’re based in. With the Rocky Mountains, sprawling sand dunes and a range of forests, parks and lakes, Colorado provides ample opportunities to explore, discover and enjoy nature at its finest.
What of its cities? Colorado’s capital, Denver, is home to approximately 630,000 people, giving it a more personal vibe rather than the bustle of the millions inhabiting New York, Houston, Los Angeles and Chicago. Home to popular modern bands such as The Lumineers and The Fray and once Bob Dylan's base, Denver’s music scene is regarded highly in the US. Its sporting prowess is known internationally: the Denver Broncos won their NFL division last year and reached the Super Bowl final in February.
Another place of note is Colorado Springs, more popular with visitors than Denver, purely for its access to Pikes Peak, the Rocky Mountains, and the Garden of the Gods. Striking natural scenery dominates the landscape whilst the city itself maintains a distinctive community feel.
