Explore Beyond Campus
The University of Wyoming is located in Laramie, Wyoming. Our campus is tucked right
in at the base of the Snowy Mountains and is full of exciting things to do! Of course,
we recommend grabbing a beverage or snack at our on-campus coffee shops or playing a game of billiards at the Pokes Pub & Gameroom, but Laramie has so much to offer!
Be sure to explore our bustling downtown (voted one of the top 3 main streets in the nation!) and maybe even get in a little outdoor recreation at our many nearby forest and
mountain areas. Discover all the reasons the locals call Laramie, Laradise.
What to Bring for Your Visit to Laramie
Laramie weather can be a bit unpredictable, so it’s best to dress in layers. In winter, be ready for snow, while summer is likely to bring some sun—don’t forget sunscreen and a water bottle! Comfortable shoes are a must, especially for walking around campus. It’s always a good idea to check the weather the day before your visit so you can pack accordingly and make the most of your time on campus.
