The only diverse area in the city really is only on the south end

I would have to say that there is more diversity on the South End. But you would not have any trouble w/ the north end or any other part of Colorado Springs. I know many families on the North end of town that are multi-racial. I think what it will boil down to is how much you want to pay for rent. What line of work you will be in while you go to school. bashep

I'm majoring in law enforcement. I'll be graduating next summer with my associates. Afterwards, while I'm still in Cleveland before I graduate I was going to do an intern as a parole officer. If I can do something in the law field in Colorado that would help. I was going to come up in Dec. to apply for jobs. I turned my paper work in to be accepted at Colorado Spings University.

Well, you let me know.. I have a police officer that lives across the street, a neighbor that is a sheriff, a neighbor that is in corrections AND a friend that is a parole officer. So, just let me know if you have some questions!! bashep
