I just graduated from Fort Lewis College. I lived in Durango for 5 years. I must say I had a great time living there. If you are going to school there you will meet great, down to earth, real people. But there is always something to do. You have the outdoors at your doorstep!! and on a weekend most young crowds go to the Lost Dog. If you enjoy wine, my fav was Jean Pierre’s, They have a wine bar there, I always went to. Then there is pint night at Steamworks on Thursdays. You usually find a young crowd here. Feel free to ask any more questions. BTW Durango is a huge biking town..:) I loved it!! cheers!
