Start With Study Spaces At Home
A productive study session doesn’t always require a trip to campus.
The Standard at Boulder offers academic amenities specifically designed for residents. The academic lounge provides a dedicated setting outside your apartment for reading, reviewing notes, and completing assignments, while private study rooms offer additional space when you want fewer distractions. An on-site café adds another convenient way to get coffee quickly. For students considering CU off-campus housing, having these resources within the community can be especially useful during exam weeks, early mornings, or evenings when traveling somewhere else isn’t convenient.

Head To CU Boulder For A Campus Study Session
Living close to the University of Colorado Boulder gives residents access to another collection of study options.
The Standard is located less than a mile from campus, with the community estimating a 1-minute car ride or 5-minute bike ride to CU Boulder.
Students can use campus libraries and other academic spaces before class, between lectures, or during longer study sessions. Staying on campus after class can also be convenient when you have an upcoming exam or project and want to finish some work before heading home. Some popular campus study spots include:
- Norlin Library: 1 mile, 5-minute drive, 14-minute walk
- Center for Academic Success and Engagement: 1.2 miles, 5-minute bike ride, 8-minute drive
- Center for Community (C4C): 0.8 miles, 4-minute bike ride, 5-minute drive

Create A Study Routine That Works For You
No single study environment works for every class, assignment, or schedule.
A campus library may make sense when you have several hours of work ahead. A coffee shop can provide a change of pace for reading or catching up on smaller assignments. For days when staying home is more convenient, The Standard’s academic lounge and private study rooms are right within the community.
Living in apartments in Boulder near CU gives students the flexibility to move among these different settings throughout the week.
