If you want to live outside of Boulder, a car would be helpful. Some people choose to do this because the housing is less expensive, but the flip-side is commuting and the difficulty of parking on the main campus. Boulder is bike friendly, with bike paths leading all over town. As a full-time Naropa student, you will receive a bus pass. Public transportation includes the HOP, SKIP, and JUMP bus routes which make it possible to catch a ride every seven to ten minutes on the three most used routes.
Buses run late in the evening but less frequently.
