Light Rail
There is a light rail that can take you from the Denver International Airport to the University of Denver Campus (or quite close to it). If you arrive before or after our last bus ride, or if you would prefer to get to the campus at a time other than when the buses are available, the light rail is a great option. You can follow the directions in this Google Maps route: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vyWVnmhCMcSeg5RY6
Uber/Lyft
If you’re traveling from the airport when there are no other options to travel, rideshare apps are available. The cost of rideshare apps is higher than it has been in years past, as the campus is further from the airport than the Loyola and Belmont campuses.
The University of Denver supplies a linen packet that includes a fitted sheet; flat sheet; pillow and pillowcase; bath towel; washcloth; blanket; hand soap. NOT included: hair dryers; clothes hangers; cups; hand towels; bottled water.
We always recommend attendees bring their own pillow, blanket, towel, and bathing materials. The campus does not provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc.
Attendees receive a luggage tag and HU carry-all. In addition to clothing and personal care items, consider:
Light jacket/sweater— the weather may be warm, but some air-conditioned spaces can be chilly.
Electronics chargers, power banks, cables
Water bottle — hydration is vital at altitude!
