Housing

Going to school—and preparing to go to school—takes up a lot of time and mental energy. It can be hard to find time to find a place to live, so the Office of Student Affairs has assembled helpful information for locating housing, whether it is Naropa University student housing or elsewhere in Boulder.

First-Year Student On-Campus Housing
First-year students who have earned fewer than 30 credits and who are 21 and under live in university-sponsored housing. Renovated in 2006, the apartments are a short walk from the university's Arapahoe Campus.

Meal Plan
We've been working on this for a while and we are very excited to tell you about two meal plan options!

There are two different Meal Plans that are available to Naropa students. They are the Naropa Café Meal Plan, which can be used at the Naropa Café locations on any of our campuses, and the Flatirons Meal Plan, which can be used at many locations throughout the Boulder area, close to campus and includes the Sunflower Farmer’s Market (grocery store).

Each vendor will be at the Naropa University orientation events on August 15 (Snow Lion orientation) and August 16 and 17 (main orientation events). Feel free to purchase directly from the vendors. You can purchase one, the other or both. These programs are very compatible with each other.
