Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

Describe the students at Colorado State University-Fort Collins.

Amy

I think that most of the student body is really friends and accepting of all of the other students...I would call the majority of the people that go here, middle to upper class. I don't really have a reason why, I just get that vibe from everyone.

Jenn

We have a lot of student groups on campus, and they tell you they have one for every student, but most of them don't advertise that they are even on campus at all. They hold meetings once a month maybe, so if you can't make it ti their times schedued, you are just out of luck. Which totally sucks if you want to do something besides greek life, student government, or student media. The student body is pretty diverse, but when they match you up for your roomate your freshman year, they keep you pretty divided. It makes for a great roomate arrangement and you get along with your floor, but you are pretty much the same sort of people.

I feel they try to make everyone welcome. it is not anti LGBT, and its not pro LGBT, its just average. people do what they want and are welcome to their own opinions.

CSU's student body is primarily white, middle-to-upper class, straight students. Most of America's majorities are reflected at CSU. Ethnic minorities, homosexuals, and religious minorites might feel out of place at CSU. Most students wear jeans, hoodies, or sweats to class. Different types of students rarely interact, unless required to for class. Most CSU students are from Colorado. There's also a large collection from Texas and, judging from various license plates, New Mexico. About half of the students are working to put themselves through college, although they have sufficient aid from family members if they need it, and the other half's parents are footing the bills. Some students are politically aware and active, but a large percentage are either apathetic or uneducated on the subject. Predominantly left and moderate, although right-wingers are not unaccounted for. Students FREQUENTLY talk about how much they'll earn one day.

Ashley

The student body overall is sweet. I meant there are always those people who piss you off or whatever but that happens all over the world. We try to help each other out and to do what is best for CSU in my opinion.

steve

too many skaters. get in the way of everyone else, and make it difficult for others to get through.

Christopher

CSU is a very diverse university. I see students of all types and i am actually very surprised at how racially diverse it is. I see european, asian, african, south american, etc students every day. I feel like a majority of the students are from Colorado but i have seen an incredible amount of middle eastern students. There are all types of groups and classifying the clothes is tough.

Lauren

I have had many different experiences with diverse racial groups on campus. Coming from a small town with no diversity whatsoever I have seen and learned a lot. It has really opened my eyes on many different perspectives. Most students wear the usual to class. This being levis, tenis shoes and t-shirts and/or sweatshirts. Some students dress up, sometimes for presentations but also for pleasure. Some students also wear sweats. Pretty much no one cares and you can wear what ever you feel like without feeling discriminated against.

Michael

CSU has a "salad bowl" of cultures that attend here. CSU students wear all different types of clothing to school. I think that CSU is politically aware right now. Our country needs to be fixed and I do believe most students are aware of the Presidental race.

Tammy

One of the first things i noticed about CSU's student body was the diversity. I came from a small town in southwest Colorado that was predomninantly white with some hispanics. Since coming here, i have interacted with many people of different races, and find it interesting to meet people with different backgrounds.

Annette

Most of the students at CSU are from Colorado. Although CSU can't help this and may like the fact that it is truly a Colorado native school, it's hard to feel likxpanding your horizons.

Brittani

CSU is very open and accepting of all races, religions, and orientations. I feel CSU has a good blend of students from many different cultures, religions or socio-economic levels. CSU also has a ton of clubs and groups to join in order to not only get involoved in the campus but get connected with people you have similarities with. Although most students seem to be some from somehwere in or around Colorado, I feel we have a decent amount of foreign exchange students and people from other regions of the United States. Most students wear casual clothes to dress. Many freshman girls make the mistake of wearing something cutsie the first day instead of comfortable (meaning high heels instead of flip flops) and learn their lesson quickly the first day, it is a lot of walkig typically!

Natalie

It's interesting to see some of the really religious students preaching out in the courtyard because I transferred here from another school just this semester. I like how people really express themselves here. I've noticed some diversity, but majority of the students appear to be Caucasian.

Jane

the student body is dominently white, but not racial. Religious views are the most out spoken on campus, mayn people preach there views in the center of campus. there is a LGBT group and they are very supportive. Honestly, i think almost anyone could fit in at CSU. cassual clothing jeans, sweats, and T-shirts most of the time. The tables stay pretty mixed it is not like high school.

Alex

A very large Caucasian population-don't believe what the brochures say, but there are people from all over. Most students wear clothes to class... (? weird question) People are generally pretty open and accepting. I haven't met anyone who wasn't interested in being friends; people are generally accepting and friendly. There are people from all economic backgrounds, people who came because they could barely afford it, and people who come because they love this school.

Sophia

i am a jewish student going to school in a predominately christian state and in a predominately christian school. i am okay with that, but it is hard to find many students who have similar beliefs. there are people from all types of people here; different walks of life, different experiences, and different reasons for coming to csu. most students are from colorado, because it is cheaper to stay in state. the most predominate political stand is democratic. but there are other political groups on campus. everybody is here for a common goal, to become an educated person and it doesn't matter how we got here.

Jenna

I think that everyone has a place on campus. I have seen more ethnic and religious diversity on campus then I have probably anywhere else I have been. I think that everyone interacts and gets along pretty well.

Kerri

Everyone I believe really work well together, I don't think race is a big issue here from my point of view. Students wear anything from Sweatpants, to dress clothes every day.

Amy

I dont have any experience with any racial groups or any others. Most students wear typical popular clothing, but there is always of a mixture of styles. I think the most popular are ugg boots, and those strappy style sandals.

Erin

I feel out of place here. I don't really interact with many people, I find that they are all "plugged in" almost constantly. I am not a traditional student but I am not "old", and I find that people like me are not out in the open.
