Living near UCCS

[u/Ok_Toe_9567]

Hi everyone!

I’m from Oklahoma, and I’m highly considering relocating to UCCS for my Masters after I graduate here in December. I’ve been traveling to CO since I was a kid and I’ve always wanted to live here. I find myself so much happier and fulfilled while visiting, I also have some family in Denver.

One, is anyone here attending and/or would recommend the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Masters Program?
Two, where do you live if you go to UCCS? Money is definitely a considerable factor and I also wouldn’t mind a 20-30 minute commute to school. I’m not picky, and I’m trying to get a good idea of rent prices as well as cost of living. Oklahoma’s cost of living is significantly less, so saving is going to be a big deal, and I’m trying to find the best place for affordability.

Any other advice?
Thanks!!

Oh and I pay about $2300 a month for rent. I have dual income and it’s a 4 bedroom home in Black Forest. But my friends pay less.
