About Student Housing in Glenwood Springs
Glenwood Springs, Colorado is a small mountain town of roughly 10,000 people, set where the Roaring Fork River meets the Colorado River deep in the Rockies. It's best known for its hot springs, and the dramatic river canyons frame nearly every view. Colorado Mountain College serves the area, with its residential Spring Valley campus up the hill outside town and a presence in Glenwood itself. The compact historic downtown, running roughly 7th to 11th streets, is walkable and the heart of student life, while trails like the Glenwood Canyon path draw cyclists and hikers right out of town. This is resort-and-river country, so being a student here means an outdoorsy pace, small-town quiet, and big mountain access right out the door.
