Colorado College's Colorado Springs campus is anchored by Cutler Hall, its original 1877-1880 building once known simply as "the College" before being renamed twice, with all incoming first-year students housed in the "Big Three" traditional halls: El Diente, McGregor, and Montgomery, the latter built in 1891 as a women's residence.

Move-in day tips

  • Arrive during your assigned move-in window - arriving early may mean waiting until your time slot.
  • Bring a rolling cart or hand truck - campus carts can run out quickly during busy move-in periods.
  • Have a parking backup plan - spaces near residence halls can fill up quickly, so know where you can unload if your preferred area is full.
  • Watch the loading-zone time limit - many campuses require you to move your vehicle to longer-term parking after unloading.
