Colorado Mesa University

Various works have taken place on the Colorado Mesa campus in recent years to improve the institution’s facilities. Today, the campus site has a library with resources for different fields and courses. More specialist facilities are also available. For instance, the site has a performing arts centre, a Business and Education building and a sports centre. Many student-led organisations, such as the Criterion campus newspaper and KMSA 91.3FM radio station, are in the University Centre.

Many clubs are started by the students at Colorado Mesa. Therefore, students can join a variety of diverse organisations and events. Over 80 clubs are available to join. These include a Cinema Club, esports, Painting Club, Percussion and many more. 

Also, the university has a high-achieving sports presence in the region. 28 sports teams compete in the NCAA Division II and Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. The university has also won over 90 titles in local and regional leagues.

Colorado Mesa University is near the Colorado mountains and canyons. As a result, Grand Junction has some of the best recreational and outdoor activities in the US. Hiking, climbing, biking and mountaineering are all available. 

But students can also find slower-paced activities nearby. In Grand Junction, there are various cultural and art centres. Art on the Corner, the Museum of Western Colorado, and the Colorado Mountain Wine Festival are just some sites and activities to explore. 

For a larger city experience, students can travel to Denver - a four-hour drive from campus. Alternatively, Salt Lake City is slightly further, located four and a half hours to the north.
