Forbes named Colorado College among the state's best private colleges. U.S. News & World Report also recognized Colorado College among the best liberal arts colleges in the United States.

Annual events, such as the Winter Ball and music festival called CC Llamapalooza, plus an active volunteering initiative complement the school's academic offerings. The Breaking Bread program, where faculty members invite students to their homes for dinner, helps break down the traditional barriers between students and faculty.
