Great college campus

Smells a littel funny .....
In a nutshell
A nice college town, not too wild :)
captain-ed Says: Greeley doesn't have a whole lot to do, it is a bedroom community where those that live here drive somewhere else to work and play. All you find here are discount stores, convenience stores, bars, fast food and gas stations. However, there a number of museums in the area,...
kymbanm Says: The performing arts programs at UNC are amazing - fantastic quality productions .. much better than the typical college fare found on campuses around the nation.Frasier Hall one of the campus performance locations and it is the building where most of the rehersals and...
The University of Northern Colorado
Rich62 Says: This is a beautiful campus and a great school. It has long been considered the finest teacher education school in the state. The great author James Michener once taught here, and the library bears his name.In the world of athletics, They have recently moved up from NCAA...
See the Greeley Freight Station Museum

RickinDutch Says: One of the larger rodeos on the national curcuit, the Stampede starts the last week of June and culminates on July 4th. Besides the world class rodeo, there are rock and country concerts, carnivals, parades, art shows and all kinds of activities. Back when I would visit, the...

Perkin's Restaurant and Bakery: Not ALWAYS worth a stop ...
kymbanm Says: Perkins is popular as it's open all night and close to the University. The only other consistently GOOD thing I can say is the staff are friendly. I went here twice, and had two completely different experiences.During my late night visit, I found the food horrible! As hungry...
kymbanm Says: We were a little lost, and didn't have the patience to find the place we were really heading to by this point - we were starving! We spotted Bubba's and decided to give it a try.The decor is typical western BBQ joint: woods, big tables, and happy folks muching away.Despite...
Young's Cafe: Vietnamese eats :)
kymbanm Says: My sister recommended this place for our sisterly bonding meal .. and I am so glad she did! Located in a strip mall, the exterior is nothing to brag about, but the interior has a stream, a fish pond, and feels wonderfully serene.The spring rolls (a perenial favorite of mine)...

State Armory: our favorite place back then...
tini58de Says: our favorite place back then was the State Armory - funny how you remember some odd things even 20 years later.....I did some research and found, that this place seems to still be around:"Open Sunday 11:00 A.M. - 8:00 P.M.; Monday - Tuesday 11:00 A.M. - 11:00 P.M.; Wednesday...
There is no public trasportation in Greeley ....
captain-ed Says: Well almost...the only public transportation in Greeley is the City Bus known as GET. The bus pass is somewhat pricey in comparison to other similar sized cities and rarely on time. Or at least when I did use the bus it was nearly 20 mins late. Apparently they have a fairly...
kymbanm Says: My sister, VTer PeachiTish, has used The Bus for the past couple of years. As a University Student, using her student ID, she can ride for FREE! The routes cover the town well, and are easy to navigate, they even dip into the neighboring town of Evans! Rates are quite...

Greeley has a small-town attitude, which might be appealing to some, however I was not a fan of it when I lived there.
Greeley is home to mostly Caucasians and Hispanics, yet very few African-Americans and Asian/Pacific Islanders. Learning Spanish can be very helpful; many of the Hispanics are recent immigrants. But this clash between English-speaking Caucasians and Spanish-speaking Hispanics is a touchy issue. Greeley is not a community well-known for its ability to embrace different cultures, and that is highlighted by the fact that it is also a place where the immigration issues are at the top of local politics. While blame can be cast on all for the difficulties that have occured as a result, many people have a poor attitude towards Hispanics, and one should not be surprised if there is a cold reaction to someone of a different ethnicity. Greeley and many of its lifelong inhabitants have simply just not been exposed to multicultural society and it is difficult for some to comprehend. This goes for the GLBT community as well; this area is home to Marilyn Musgrave, who, although she sponsored a bill to ban gay marriage, was still re-elected.
If you don't believe me, look at one of the comments below; "Love it or leave it" is the attitude, and well, I took their advice. I left.

Race and Culture Diversity Issues
captain-ed Says: Again I must agree with Forsberg21. I have never experienced this level of inconsideration, even in Mississippi a state well known for its history of racism i was treated with some level of consideration. At a restaurant which I will leave UN-named out of courtesy my family...
Forsberg21 Says: I'll have to warn you here, if you don't like what I have to say about this, consider that my viewpoint is widely shared. Is your ethnicity not to be described as white? Well, be careful here, because there is moderate danger of people not liking you for it. It's not likely...

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: if you spend a whole year there, you have to be prepared for any kind of weather.
Just don't forget, that Greeley is 1700 m above sealevel, so it can get REAL cold!

Just south of Greeley there is a small town called Evans Colorado, we found a small Mexican Restaurant called Mi Gallo Giro, it is nothing fancy, no atmosphere, and from the street looks like a small house tucked in between a auto repair and service centrer and liquor store.
We found this restaurant by accident as I pulled into their parking lot to make a U-turn and I am glad we decided to stop and have breakfast there. What caused us to take a second look was the line of people waiting to get into this little place and we are glad we did stop to look.
Breakfast was very good, doesn't have much of a place to sit down and eat but the food makes up the difference.
We came back later that day to try out their lunch and it did not disappoint.
This is defiantly not fast food, nor is it gourmet food but it is very good and the local blue collar workers line up to take it to work.

UNC is the training camp for the Denver Broncos during the off season / summer. You can find out when they are on the field, and watch for free. Call the number attached to find out their practice and scrimmage schedule.
If you are a Football fan, this is something to not miss. Being so close to their homebase, Bronco fans, families and well wishers are all here to cheer their team on :)

tini58de Says: the graduation ceremony was very special to me, since we don't have anything comparable here in Germany
jeff.kristin Says: Take a stroll through: * Glenmere park (14th Ave & 19th St.), * Bittersweet park (35th Ave. & 16th St.), * the old part of the university (10th Ave. & 18th St.). Watching meteor showers from outside town.

Pleasant memories from a long time ago
My first trip to Greeley was for a cross country meet while going to college in Colorado Springs. With a very high ratio of women to men (2:1), the smell of cow dung was a small price to pay. Me and a...
Greeley example of small town conservative america
If you're looking for a small town attitude this is the place. Don't look for anything trendy and in general the community is neatly 5 - 10 years behind the trend both in technology, fashion, and...
