Travel + Leisure includes CU Boulder on two top lists

September 3, 2014

As Colorado college students are adjusting to back-to-school reality, Travel + Leisure magazine has been determining which colleges have the most beautiful campuses and which pillars of prognostication offer the best off-campus college bars.

According to T + L, the University of Colorado in Boulder not only scored on the best bar list, but it also snagged a spot in the most beautiful campus ranking.

Here’s what the mag said about best bar:

“Catacombs is more than a mile from the campus, hidden below the Hotel Boulderado. You won’t find much information on its website either. But none of these things matter in terms of loyal patronage. What you will find in this cavernous watering hole are three pool tables, two ping-pong battlegrounds, and six, old-school video games, including Frogger. The bar hosts an epic karaoke night, an open-mic night, and, its biggest draw, trivia night. Oh, and the $3 microbrew happy hour probably doesn’t hurt either.”

About the campus’ curb appeal, “T + L” wrote:

“The flagship University of Colorado combines sweeping views of the snow-capped Rocky Mountains and Flatirons, a gorgeous natural setting that includes a serene lake and two creeks, and ruggedly beautiful buildings to match. Most, including the grand Norlin Library, feature a distinct Tuscan-meets-the-West architectural style of local sandstone walls, red tile roofs, and limestone trim.”
