What Greeley has to offer!
Greeley is a diverse town that has many places to explore, especially for college students!
Welcome to Greeley Bears, we hope you enjoy your stay both on campus and off. We have provided you with a large array of locations we recommend you locate and visit!
The University itself has many locations on campus for students to enjoy. As new students traveling far off campus might not be feasible, so it is important to know where everything is located on campus.
Central campus is the base point of the university, you might find yourself there for our many arts programs as well as the nursing and business programs. Central campus is also home to many traditional dorm halls and student centers. Below is an interactive map of Central campus.
