5 PERSONAL SAFETY IN BOULDER FOR ADULTS (18 OR OLDER) * BE STREET WISE Boulder is a relatively crime-free town but like in any town its size, crime does occur. The college campus and surrounding area, like campus areas in virtually every college town, present potential dangers of which every student must be aware. To have a safe, positive experience all students need to practice basic safety rules that would apply in any college town and on any college campus. * THE HILL The Hill is the area adjacent to the campus that includes shops and restaurants. It is predominantly a college student neighborhood. The Hill, however, is not only home to college kids but has historically been a magnet for transients and an array of the unsavory characters that seem to frequent college neighborhoods. The Hill has been cleaned up considerably over the past several years, but it is not without its problems. We advise against anyone walking alone on the hill after dark. * C.U. CAMPUS We don t want to scare anyone, but the following is a sad fact of life: All college campuses experience a certain number of sexual assaults and other serious crimes each year. The emergency phones placed around the C.U. campus were originally placed there in response to rape incidents. No one should ever walk across campus alone at night. There is safety in numbers so travel in groups! 4

GROUND TRANSPORTATION FROM DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TO BOULDER (The Denver airport is locally referred to as DIA but the official airport code is DEN).

6 GROUND TRANSPORTATION FROM DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TO BOULDER (The Denver airport is locally referred to as DIA but the official airport code is DEN). There is frequent door-to-door shuttle service from DIA to Boulder that will take you to Varsity Townhouses, or to any hotel or private residence. The trip takes about 1½ hours to 2 hours depending on how many passengers need to be dropped off and at which locations. Please note that scheduled ground transportation from DIA to Boulder stops at about 12:30 a.m., so plan your flight accordingly if you have a late night arrival time and your flight is delayed, you might be stuck at the airport unless you want to take Uber/Lyft ($$$$!) Never been to Denver Airport? DIA consists of East and West Terminals, connected by a huge central area with a white circus tent roof. There are luggage carousels on the East and West sides, so be sure you are on the correct side! Others exist but our recommendation is Green Ride Boulder! Reservations are necessary! NOTE: It costs $40 for one person one way, $52 for two people one way (so $26 each); $21 each for three people one way; etc. (if all going to the same destination) so groups should reserve together to save $ if possible! NOTE: If in the 2 week workshop and going to Boulder Townhouses please see the info on Page 24 of the 2 week Intensive Handbook! For the trip back to the airport don't forget to reserve pick up 24 hours before you are traveling! DIRECTIONS IN BOULDER: Just remember that the mountains run along the west edge of town. If the mountains are on your left, you are facing north! 5

8 HIGH ALTITUDE INFO FOR OUT-OF-TOWNERS Boulder is at an altitude of over 5,000 feet! About one out of every four people who arrive from low altitude may experience altitude sickness: headache, nausea, lack of appetite, low energy, shortness of breath, cramping, etc. No matter how healthy you are, you could be affected. If you experience these symptoms, SLOW DOWN! They usually go away in a couple of days. If they become worse or other symptoms such as a persistent cough or increasing shortness of breath develop, consult a doctor altitude sickness can be treated very easily. To help avoid altitude sickness: DO: Drink more water than usual (try to drink nearly twice as much!). Juices, caffeine-free sodas, and sports drinks are also good. Eat more grains, fruits and vegetable. Eat less fatty foods. Take aspirin for headaches or cramps. Get more sleep and rest. DON T: Don t drink alcohol or beverages with caffeine such as coffee. Don t eat salty foods. Get plenty of sleep! You need more sleep while adjusting to high altitude! HELPFUL TIP: It is a lot easier to get sunburned here because of the thinner atmosphere so it s a good idea to use sunscreen! FLASH FLOOD INFO Boulder has recently experienced significant flash floods and that has always been a possibility in Boulder, so we feel our students should be aware of what to do in the event one occurs. Boulder has warning sirens that are tested on the first Monday of the month so if you hear sirens during the workshop it is not a test and you should take heed: Stay away from Boulder Creek and other low-lying areas. Climb to higher ground immediately and avoid drains, ditches, etc. (see the website below for actions to take in a flash flood). There are other warning signs to look for. It may not be raining at the time since water comes downhill from storms in the mountains and Boulder is at the foot of the mountains. Please take a moment to take a look at this website for further information:
