Denver is the largest city in Colorado, as well as the state's capitol. The city is located on the plains east of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, which form a dramatic and awe inspiring skyline to the west. The central downtown district is on the east side of the South Platte River, near its confluence with Cherry Creek, approximately fifteen miles from the foothills. As of the 2000 census, the population of the city was 554,636. Also as of the 2000 census, the population of the Denver-Aurora metropolitan area was 2,179,240, making it the 22nd-largest in the United States. Denver is nicknamed the "Mile-High City", because its official elevation, measured on the fifteenth step of the state capitol building, is 5,280 feet (1,609 m) above sea level. Denver's unique geographical position makes it a central hub for the mountain states. Nursing education and plentiful career opportunities in multiple fields should abound. Denver offers a metropolitan environment surrounded by a beautiful natural landscape that can easily offer an escape from hectic city living, for a student so inclined.
