Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

Describe the students at Colorado State University-Fort Collins.

Rachel

This is a conservative town that has the most narrow-minded college I've ever been to. The reason for attending is because this is the only universtiy in colorado with my major. It's not a bad place and people are friendly there just overall dumb in not knowing what issues there are or how to research them. Liberal students feel out of place. Different types of students don't really interact at least that I've noticed. Most CSU students are from all over colorado. Finacial-overall middle class. No students are not politically aware and the saddest thing is most only watch what FOX new says instead of actually researching what is actually happening. Also instead of looking at what the canidates have actually done they only pay attention to what they say which is usually an exagerated lie. No students don't talk America is currently the stupidist industrialized country and it shows.

I think everyone at CSU is accepting and i don't think that there is any negative racial issues. Sometimes there are some crazy preachers that come to campus and denounce other peoples views. I think there is smaller number or minoritys on campus, but i also think that everyone interacts with everyone else. There is racial acceptance on both sides.

I tried a bible study 1st semster freshman year and it was horrible, they were way too forceful with their beliefs and basically told me that i had to believe this otherwise i was going to hell. After that i tried a few other bible studies and clubs and they all turned out the same way, so im done with trying to find a good bible study group. If you werent very proactive and didnt want to try to make friends or get involved, you might not like it at CSU. If a student did this they may feel out of place because you have to try to make friends and put in the effort to try new things otherwise you may find that CSU is way too big and dull. most students wear jeans, sweatshirts, sweatpants, just casual wear, i hardly see anyone dressed up, and if they are its usually because they have to. most csu students are from colorado but ive met countless people from out of state.

Everyone and everybody is represented on campus for better or for worse. Nothing is pushed on you but if you want to find it its there. Most of the students are from Colorado or the greater Rocky Mountain area. I would say we are a conservative campus that is shifting to being more moderate.

Kelly

There is a student from every background and region at CSU. A WIDE variety of students go to CSU.

Allison

The student body is mainly white but there are pockets of diversity among the students. There is hardly any racism though, all diversity clubs are very strong on campus and let their important presence be known. Anyone is welcome at CSU, the students are typically open minded. As far as politics I would have to say we are pretty evenly distributed from left to right. There is a lot of diversity when it comes to opinions and backgrounds and most people aren't afraid to let that be known.

CSU does not have a very diverse campus. Although I feel that the students are fairly accepting and that racial, religious, and LGBT programs are accepted by the majority, minorities are not well represented (in numbers) at this university. Most minorities would probably feel slightly more separated at CSU, but I do not believe that this would be to an unbearable degree, by any means. Students from the east coast, at least the steotypical high-paced up-tight kind, may feel a little out of place as well. Colorado is much more relaxed and casual than this area. Most students wear jeans and t-shirts to class. Early classes in big lecture halls tend to have more people wearing pj's and in the business college you will see much more professional dress all week long. In the dining halls most people will sit with people from their halls or brother/sister halls. This is because these are the people you meet first and going to meals together is a good ice breaker. Usually these patterns stick for people and you end up making a great group of friends out of it. Most CSU students are from Colorado. I think that the middle class background is probably most prevalent. Our campus, as a whole, is not very politically active- because of this I can not make assumptions on how politically aware students are. I am not sure about other majors, but within the Business College there is a fair amount of discussion based around what jobs pay the best, who is making the most at their internship this summer, and about their target incomes.
