Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

Describe the students at Colorado State University-Fort Collins.

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!

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.
