Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

The groups on campus are all open to everyone inviting to all and fun to join and be a part of. Students seem very aware in all the programs and signs they make. Students always talk to you and are always friendly

I am not sure exactly how the student body is....Like stated before I talk to some of the kids in my classes but then I head home right away.

Csu is not ht emost diverse campus, but I have never run into any problems. Most students were jeans and a sweatshirt. Normally something relatively comfy. Not super formal. most students are in-state. Most students come fom middle to uppermiddle class. Money isnt too big of an issue- in terms of paying tuition and stuff. Most students are conservative.

Interesting.

I don't think that CSU is very racially diverse, but I know a number of friends of different ethnicities who are not discriminated against in the least. I also have a number of gay friends who are open about it, and not descriminated against. CSU is a pretty accepting place for the most part. I would say most of the population is upper middle class and christian, but I don't think that there is discrimination toward people from other back grounds. I wish the student body was more politically active, but there are some students who are.

What do the president and vice president actually do??

I do not think that our campus is diverse at all. I think everyone who is not white would probably not feel like they fit in more than people with different religious views, because you cannot see the difference. I think most students are from CO then TX, CA, MI.

The people at CSU are really cool. everyone is realy friendly except for the strange guy who works at the lsc who collects the trash but other than the people are awesome

Good diversity when it comes to student body. I have made a lot of great friends that i could not have found back home. The politics at CSU are great, giving everyone a chance to be heard.

For the most part CSU is a very accepting student body, compared to that of CU. Here if someone doesnt know you they will at least make an attempt to talk to someone they dont know, where if you were at CU if they dont know you they wont even talk to you to seem friendly. I know from past experiences to go hang with friends at CU, that they really are arrogant and dont know what its like to be accepting of all people.

I think CSU does a really good job at implementing diversity onto campus. There are clubs for every race, women, gay/lesbian group you can think of. CSU is not cliquey at all, unless you are a part of greek life. Everyone is accepted and treated equal. Financial backgrounds might be important for financial aid but it is not an issue on campus at all. No one talks or brags about that stuff. In classes, students usually wear sweats or jeans. It's a very casual atmosphere here.

As I said earlier in the survey, the student body was kind of a big shock to me. I expected huge changes from high school in the maturity level of students but realized very quickly that college was just a fifth year of high school basically. Also, CSU advertises that they strive for diversity on campus but if you look around, it is till a predominantly white campus. I happen to live in Braiden and be part of the key academic community which houses a good deal of black students, but other than at Braiden, there are very few blacks or latinos compared to whites. And unfortunately, the black students tend to all stick together almost segregating themselves from everyone else and therefore several negative stereotypes are used on campus.

I think people are pretty fair on campus about race, but not religion. I swear you can't walk to the clark building without being harassed about religion. I think since it is a college town, anything goes. I would though have to say the type of person that I don't think would necessarily belong is free spirited hippies and such. Most students wear hoodies, jeans, flip flops, uggs, and north face jackets. I would have to say a lot of different people interact with one another. Most of the population of CSU is from Colorado. The financial majority background is middle to high class. I would have to say that surprisingly a lot of kids I associate with are politically aware. I would have to say that most kids in a college town are fairly liberal. I think everyone wants to make loads of cash, or else we wouldn't be in school anyways.

I think it sucks that the student body is not more diverse (racially etc.) I wish we had more of each group represented on campus to make everyone feel more belonging.

The students that go here are awesome, they are all the same kinds of people.

most of the CSu students are from colorado. i think that this is good becasue personally i enjoy knowing people and also i think that it makes the world smaller and more tie togetgher for me.

Just perfect!

Unfortunately, there's still a lot of bias toward minority groups on campus. I think there is a lot of ignorance among individuals, and there are a lot of clique type groups on campus. People will stay within what they know and are most comfortable with, so you tend to find a lot of people that will hang out primarily with people they know from high school, with people they know from their dorm floor, or within their specific major. I've noticed a large trend of wearing whatever one slept in to go to class. It's a lazy trend, one that I don't personally agree with. CSU students range from all over the country, and the world, but a large portion of the students I've met hail primarily from Colorado. There are groups of people on campus that are aware of what's going on in the world, and are even active in political groups. Then there are groups of people who are only aware of the recent drama in their circle. I suppose you'd get that anywhere.

i'm surprised to see so many students at CSU driving brand new hummers, audi's, bmws and so on. first of all i can't believe parents would spend that kind of money their college student, what is a student to learn about life if every material object they could ever ask for is handed to them whenever they want it.

There is a very diverse group of students up here. There are constanly groups that share their experiences with whoever would like to know about them. Students are very laid back and nice up here. It makes the enviorment very easy to live in. The majority of CSU students are from Colorado, there are alot of different states in the US that students are from and other coutnries also. The students are alwasy very active. There is countless actvities that they are invovled in.
