Metro State, which is a four year university, is mainly a commuter school and is located downtown. There is some on-campus housing, but not a lot. Apartments near the campus are pretty pricey. A one-bedroom near the campus rents for anywhere from $1,200 to $1,500 a month. The campus is almost directly on the light rail line, so getting to it from one of the outlying suburbs with light rail wouldn’t be too difficult.
