Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

All races should feel in place. Most wear casual clothes jogging clothes, or jeans and tees. Most students are from colorado. Some are politically aware/ active but I would say most freshman are not.

coming from a diffrent country it is suprising how many groups are there on campus. pants and shirts, yes they interact, colorado, low income students, not alot mostly care about studying on politics.

Anyone that is not white feels a little out of place at CSU. No one has ever said or done anything racist to my face. However, I have had plenty of people put things on my desk, rather then hand them to me for fear of touching my hand.

Girls dress amazing first couple weeks of class, pretty relaxed after that. Not an extremely diverse campus from what I noticed.

I have not had a large experience with groups on campus. Older transfer or transfer students. They were comfortable clothing. Not really unless they are forced/requested to step outside their comfort zone. One table is a few art students hovering closely to their ipods. Another is a table of athletic boys ranting and laughing about how "fucked" up they got that weekend or the night before. There are two tables with just one person at them reading and trying to mind their own buisness.

Since the school is so large, there are so many opportunities to become parts of groups so that you don't feel out of place at CSU. There are constantly events that are held by the minority student groups on campus, and they are open for everyone and strong encouraged. I think all students have the opportunity to find a place on campus, it just is a matter of trying. What students wear to class is dependent on the college you are in. In the College of Business students dress pretty nicely, and it is very common to see someone in a suit. As for other departments/colleges I notice people wearing sweatpants and pajamas everyday. Just a matter of different cultures. There are certain segments that are very politically active/aware, but they are definitely the minority. College of business students DEFINITELY talk about how much they'll earn one day.

I think there is not enough diversity at this school. This school needs to grow demographicly. The town is changing that is not helping that cause. I personally don't feel out of place talking to just about anyone, but its seems a lot of students don;t feel the same way.

I do not have that much association with clubs on campus. Most CSU students are from Colorado but also Chicago and east coast.

I think that racial groups get too much attention. I dont think anyone would feel out of place. Students where everything to class nothing specific. I see different types of students interact. Most CSU students are from Colorado. You see tables of athletes, people in the same class, same major, etc. Most financial backgrounds are middle class. Yes students are politically aware and active. I talk about how much I wish to earn one day.

The student body as a whole is very welcoming, however, diversity lacks incredibly. As a Jewish student, however, I dont feel left out. Hillel is my home and it gives me a voice on campus. Our holocaust programs this year alone attracted over two thousand people.

I think that CSU has a good mix of people at the school. I do not like a lot of the frat/sororitys on campus though, these people think that they are better than everyone else.

Things are pretty chill between differnt groups at CSU, everyone seems to get along pretty well. I cant imagine a student feeling out of place, there are so many different types of people. What do students wear to class? I dont know, what does Britney Spears write in her diary? IT DOESNT MATTER. Ok heres the dining situation... Table 1 is just some dude and his girlfriend. They dont seem happy. They have been dating since high school and prob made the mistake of deciding to go to college together beacause "its supposed to happen". Table 2 is all the athletes. There is so much food piled up on their trays that Im pretty sure you could feed a third world country with their tots alone. The scary part is they will consume IT ALL. Table 3 is a group of dining hall employees. They are all telling jokes about the suprise in the tots. And lastly, table 4... Table 4 is the group of smoking hot girls that you have been staring at over the rim of your chocolate milk for the past 30 minutes. They are all dolled up, talking about how drunk they got at the last frat party, and you want them.

it's interesting to be in a situation that you know everyone else around you is experiencing as well. i met the greatest friends of my life there. the greek scene isn't really a big deal at csu, so there are a lot of house parties that are pretty much open to anyone. i'd say the vast majority of students are wealthy white kids. csu students know what's important and how to have a good time.

CSU is extremely white. 82{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of students are white, 2.1{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} African America, 1.5{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} Native American, 2.9{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} Asian Pacific/Islander, and 6{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} Hispanic. The numbers do not lie, but CSU has gone out of its way to accommodate the majority of co-cultural differences at CSU. Most racial, religious, LGBT, disabled people at CSU have an office to facilitate their needs and there has not been a problem dealing with co-cultural communication at CSU. As said earlier, we are a friendly campus who welcomes all Rams, no matter what walk of life. There is one exception however. Greek life. If I could picture four tables of students in a dining hall, there would be two tables chalk-full of diversity, with exceptional conversations and hilarious antics. The other two tables would be full of fraternity brothers and sorority sisters. Not to knock it, but if there was a click at CSU, it would found in Greek life. With the upcoming election, students at CSU have stepped into the political sphere more than ever. I recently joined the Young Democrats of CSU, and there is also a group for Republicans.

A sI've said before, CSU is the Home of clutural diversity

Most CSU students are from Colorado but there is a pretty good mix as well.

The student body is diverse from every aspect and its nice to see so many different people get along so well (In general). I have the pleasure to interact with students on a different level. Im a senator of ASCSU. its the student government. Were a handfull of individuals trying to better campus for the students. We debate the issues and give oh recomendations that are not taken lighly. Campus is a very socail place I find and everywhere you look there are students talking and hanging out. Im sure school is on their minds but its not all about that.

The groups on campus are as diverse as the students. With clubs ranging from GLBT to the Baptist Student Union. There are so many available groups in which to get involved that CSU really is a place for almost everyone. The kind of person that would be happy at CSU is one who is laid back, likes to have a good time, but also cares about issues and is willing to join others that care about that same issue. I would say the socio-economic group at CSU is fairly middle class with a few rich kids from Chicago thrown into the mix. But nobody flaunts it, most just go with the flow and you would never know who is more stable when looking at a group of us.

I haven't had many experiences with those types of groups. I don't think any student would feel out of place at CSU just because there are so many different resources for all types of students. The only thing is that although their are different groups, CSU is a predominantly white school, so it would depend on the person if they felt comfortable coming here. I don't know what most students wear to class... I do know that a lot of the business students dress up a little more just because for many classes and interviews its requires.. but walking across campus I see a lot of casual dress sometimes even sweats. I dress either casual or business casual most of the week, and since I only have one class on Fridays I call it “lazy Friday” and I allow myself to wear a t-shirt and my favorite CSU sweat pants. Most CSU students are from Colorado, but many of them come from other states... mostly for sports. I think that a lot of students are politically aware or active.. especially with the elections coming up. I feel that there are mainly a lot of left or center students here, but there is a strong republican club on campus as well, so I feel like all three are represented. I talk about how much I want to earn one day and I know many students are extremely ambitious and plan on being very successful, so I would say yes, as a majority students talk about how much they earn one day.

I don't think any type of student would feel out of place. There are plenty of people around that you'll always be able to connect with someone. CSU has a ton of advocacy and diversity offices, and over 300 student organizations. If you can't find something you're interested I would be incredibly surprised. So many different students interact with each other, I definitely don't think there is a division of groups. Greek life is involved with various things on campus, as well as diversity groups, political groups. Most people are not just involved in one thing, so it helps tie different types of people together. As do the residence halls, CSU has so many different types of dorm "communities" from substance free to floor dedicated to people of one major. People talk about what they want to do with their futures after graduation and CSU helps with career fairs and the like in order to get people where they want to go. As for salary, I don't think any of us truly know what we could make in a certain position until it is put on the table.
