How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The abandoned university in Colorado where Joel and Ellie ride in on horseback, hoping to find the Fireflies' lab.
The real place
The University of Eastern Colorado is fictional, but the game places it in Boulder, and the real university there is the University of Colorado Boulder. Its campus is known for buildings of rough sandstone with red tile roofs; Norlin Library, with its columned entrance on the main quad, is the closest match to the game's main hall.
Visiting
The campus is open to walk around. Pair it with the Flatirons above Chautauqua Park and Pearl Street in the town centre.
