welcome to your campusSure, COCC offers a first-class education. So do a lot of schools. But do a lot of schools also have downhill skiing and snowboarding, mountain biking, fly-fishing, trail running,

kayaking, cross-country skiing, thirty golf courses and stand-up paddleboarding just minutes from campus? We didn’t think so. Central Oregon offers a dynamic landscape to pursue

every passion under the sun. Teeming forests, soaring mountains, dozens of lakes and rivers and one of the world’s most popular rock-climbing destinations

are all here and waiting. After you finish your homework, of course.

Bend provides the best of small-town charm and convenience

with big-city entertainment and amenities. Coffee shops, movie

theaters, boutique shopping and more microbreweries than you

can count are all just a short bike ride away in downtown Bend

and the nearby Old Mill shopping district. Major retailers like

REI, Costco, Macy’s, Target, Fred Meyer, Wal-Mart and Best Buy

are all just a short drive away.
