Steps from your classes
CityU sits at the center of the densest university corridor in Latin America. More than 10 higher-education institutions are located within a 3 km (2-mile) radius, making our residence the ideal home base for any student in Bogotá.
Universidad de los Andes is a 1-minute walk away. Externado de Colombia, Universidad Central and Universidad Tadeo Lozano are 5 to 10 minutes away. And universities like the Javeriana, CESA and Universidad Nacional can be reached in under 15 minutes by bike or public transit.
"Before I moved to CityU, I spent almost two hours a day commuting. Now I walk to class in 10 minutes and get there well rested. That changes everything."
Connected to everything
The area is served by multiple TransMilenio and SITP routes that connect CityU with the rest of the city in minutes. The Carrera Séptima bike route runs half a block away, and the EnCicla public bike-share system has a station 50 meters from the main entrance.
If you’re coming from outside Bogotá, the downtown intercity bus stations are less than 20 minutes away, and El Dorado International Airport is under 40 minutes.
