Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

Describe the students at Colorado State University-Fort Collins.

Riley

The school is not as dicerse as I had expected, many of the students I am around and see are caucasian. There is a lot of diversity in fashion though at CSU which I find nice because it seems to be a place where students can express themselves without any ridicule.

Hannah

Nobody would feel out of place here at CSU. There are support groups and organizations for every single activity, religious, socioeconomic and racial group here. Most students wear jeans and casual clothes to class, and are very laid back. Most of the people here are caucasian, and are very active in the school whether it be in sports, music, sororities, fraternities, religious groups and much more.

Christine

I think there are all different types of students at CSU and everyone fits in. There are all sorts of different etnicities and its awesome to have such a diverse campus.

Tom

The student body is a friendly and accepting!

Molly

There are many different kinds of people that attend CSU. People are genually very nice at the school, many different cultures connect with other cultures which is awesome to see. That is just another reason I really like attending CSU.

Julie

Colorado State is primarily caucasian but I have not witnessed any prejudice. Most people are open and understanding about other people's backgrounds. That is what I appreciate most about this school. Most people are very casual with thier attire when attending class. Students at Colorado State are usually from somewhere in Colorado. They are typically middle class to upper-middle class and I would say somewhere in the middle politically. Business students are more inclined to talk about future earnings but overall that is not a common topic.

Brynn

CSU has the nicest group of students I've ever encountered.

Andy

I do not feel like there is a lot of racism on the CSU campus. I think people are very open about race, politics, and religion. People are more interested in hearing other views than trying to convert others to their thinking. Most CSU students are from Colordao but I have met a fair number of people who are from another state and even some from different countries. Students I feel are more left wing rather than right. There are a lot of liberals at CSU.

Mason

All campuses have some sort of diversity amongst their student body. CSU is no different. I feel that the student body is predominately white. The great thing at CSU is that there are hundreds of organizations that allow students of every race, ethnicity, religion, etc. to be a part of an organization with students who are just like them. In the world of fashion, I don't think even the Colorado weather can stop girls from trying to make a statement. One day it will be hot and sunny, and the girls will be wearing short skirts, Uggs boots and skimpy tops. The next day it will be snowing and freezing cold, but for some reason the girls seem to wear the exact same clothes. It's an interesting dynamic, how girls will sacrifice so much to look good. Girls don't understand the power and attractiveness of actually leaving something to the imagination. From my perspective the guys are more casual and wear more moderately priced clothing. I can't say that about the Rec Center, as guys wear shirts that they have cut up so short that they might as well not be wearing one.

Cody

The student body refuses to up fees for a struggling athletic department. Its only one fee of 15 and no one will pay. Freaking cheap

Bevan

At CSU there isn't a lot of racial diveristy, but it has been something that the college is working on. But as for soci-economic and social groups, there is much more integration here than I experienced in high school. Most people make a group of friends in the dorms of individuals who come from all walks of life. Here I've made friends with people I never would've expected myself to be friends with. Students are very open to diversity and are willing to talk to people even if they don't look like they'll have much in common.

Matt

I love Colorado state because you can walk down the street and see friendly faces everywhere, everyone knows everyone. There are no clicks and no grouping. The clubs can make any minority feel welcome. Most of the students that i know at Colorado state live in Colorado. They are poor bu what college student isnt, but as ive observed, their parents and families are rather wealthy.

Kim

I have found a good religious group that I am in. There seems to be a group for every type of person here. I dont know if any student would feel out of place. There are not many groups geared toward non traditional students. People are casual when dressing for class. The average wear jeans and a hoodie or a t shirt. The tables would include hippies, athletes, average joes, and fake looking girls. A lot of CSU students are form in state. Middle class seems to be prevalent on this campus. People dont talk about their earnings yet, I am still new here.

Kristen

For being only an hour from the Wyoming border, CSU definitely has a white majority of students. I think students who grew up in an urban environment would struggle shifting to the laid back atmosphere of Ft. Collins. The going out scene is so casual (as well as the jeans and T shirt favorites at school) that a lot of people from the city would find odd. Though most of our students are Caucasian, there is a strong Muslim and, or Middle Eastern presence at CSU.

Sam

There are mostly rich kids here at CSU because there are alot of frats and soroities and CSU keeps jacking the price up. It makes it hard for the not so rich kids to fit in.

Ashley

There are a lot of groups at CSU, i would be suprised if you didn't find more than a few you liked. There isn't a whole lot of diversity at CSU but it is welcomed, there isn't any racial discrimination that i have seen here. There are many different types of students at CSU I have seen girls in designer clothes next to a kid in his pj's. Most kids dress in jeans and a t/sweat shirt for class. Though there is a huge instate population i have met many people from around the US, and never heard any negative things from students. There are many politically active students, but the majority of the campus in center to right politically.

Mario

My experiences with all the different types of groups on campus has been quite normal really, people don't usually get harassed for being different in any way. For the most part everyone here is very tolerant of others' differences and most even celebrate these differences through interactions with each other. Most students are from Colorado but there are also many that aren't from the state, some are from Iowa, Maryland, Florida, and even Saudi Arabia.

Chris

This is something I don't know too much about, this is my first semester and I really haven't learned too much about the student body as a whole. But so far I do like the diversity of the students and the things I see and hear around campus and out on the town.

Emily

This is an interesting topic because I am currently taking Ethnicity in the Media. I wasn't really aware of the racial stereotypes and segregations that exist in this school, but I have definitely become more aware since taking this class. Now that I pay more attention, I notice how students of color are oftne with students of color and white students are often with all other white students. I have also heard many different perspectives of students who feel very excluded and out of place. In particular the LGBT group came to talk to our class and really brought to our attention the discrimmination that is directed towards them.

Lane

I think there is a variety of students at CSU that no student should feel out of place. Most students I see wear sweats to class, except in some of my required courses for fashion design students dress very nice to class, they try to look their best. I think everyone interacts with everyone, especially during some smaller classes like my speech class, we were required to know everyones name and get to know them which helps to meet more people as well.
