Although
I have previously been part of the “Wartburg West” program, this time has a
whole new feel to it. It has only been two years since I was in Denver for the “Sophomore
Experience”, but a lot of change has taken place here in that time period. Wartburg
West has a new location, right downtown! Living downtown has many perks. The
bus system is easy to navigate (even for the directionally challenged, such as
myself), my favorite record stores, restaurants and book shops are right down
the road, and the very life of Denver itself is right outside of our apartment
door.
When
I left Denver in 2012, I’d had such a great experience that I didn’t think it
was possible for it to be better this time. The new building is in a very nice
location and has great amenities as well. The church where our classes are held
is simply beautiful, and the congregation has been very welcoming. The beauty
of the capitol building, the skyline, and the mountains on my way to my
internship manages to leave me breathless every day.
Denver
has a whole different vibe to it since I was here last. New stores and
restaurants have popped up everywhere, as well as new people. The population of
the city has been growing rapidly in recent years. For the newcomers, finding
an apartment building has become a wild goose chase. Rent and property value is
also rising quickly as the city grows. It seems like everyone I know wants to
live here, and I even hope to move here myself someday. I am really looking
forward to spending another amazing semester in Denver.
