    There are plenty of options to take you to and from campus.

    Ride Shares

    Lyft and Uber both operate in Denver, and they make it easy to get almost anywhere on-campus or off.

     

    Light Rail

    The light rail station right next to DU serves as a stop on the E, F and H lines. That means you can use the light rail to connect to all of Denver, just a few steps from the center of campus. Getting downtown by rail is quick and easy, and you can even use it to get to and from the airport via the RTD A-Line.

    Once you arrive, just walk across Buchtel Boulevard and south across the campus to the Mary Reed Building, which is located just off S. University Boulevard and E. Warren Avenue.
