I remember what CSU first looked like to me. Honestly, I was really overwhelmed when I first walked onto campus. Compared to the other colleges I toured the campus was way bigger. Students swarmed campus as I walked through the long paths to get to different buildings. The plaza was filled with people trying to talk to me about this and that protest and what I thought about global warming. Even though I was a high school senior, I clung to my mom's arm. The buildings were huge and overtaking for one person to view, but the inside and out of them are very pleasing to the eye. I felt like I was at a real college looking at those buildings. CSU did look pretty though; very pretty. There are huge green trees everywhere blooming with leaves that reminded me of where we moved to Colorado from; Texas. The fields were green with grass and every outside space look appealing to stay in for a day. My favorite place, then and now, is the oval. The oval is a circular field in the middle of all the most important buildings on campus. The main walkway across the entire field is lined with trees and there is plenty of room to play games and read in the sunshine. To this day, I go there whenever I can. CSU may be overwhelming at first, but let your insecurities of college go if you tour the campus. Trust me, you do that and you will be able to know if you are supposed to go here.

The school is very big and is big in the landscaping. Right now there is a lot of construction going on because they are trying to make more space for incoming freshman and to rebuild some of the resident halls that have been up for a very long time. During the warm months the plants are very pretty around campus and it is really pretty after a lite snow.

Decent school, but I felt out of place, as my socioeconomic status was far lower than most other students.

Seth

A great place to learn with great facilities and resources, but a hard place to get to know people. Many people are impersonal, and often insincere and don't give others the benefit of the doubt in many occasions.

Kenzie

A great, challenging school with great people, facilities, and community.

A comfortable laid back school with focus on agriculture, veterinary science and other sciences.
