Think of instant ramen, and many people think of college cuisine.  For decades, instant ramen has been a staple of late-night study sessions and post-partying parties. The bracing warmth, salty umami and comforting carbo-load from the rehydrated noodles have made ramen a must-hoard staple in dorm rooms and apartments since the 1960s.

Today, ramen can cost $20 or more in a restaurant (and that price doesn’t buy you authenticity), but a pack of the dry, instant stuff is still a bargain.

Now, students (and everyone else) at the Auraria campus — which serves the University of Colorado Denver, Metropolitan State University of Denver and Community College of Denver — can enjoy the magical modern convenience of instant ramen at ichigo_matcha_denver.
