Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

Student's almost have to study a lot in order to pass their classes. I believe that high school didn't prepare me and hardly any new student coming into college. You have to read the required material, and have to know most the material like the back of your hand in order to pass tests, quizzes, short responses, etc.

When I first thought about attending college I thought I was only going to study what I wanted to, which would be Marketing. When I got to college I realized this wasn't the case. I realized that the best way to be educated it to be educated about lots of things. The more you know, the more you can do. Here at CSU I have been becoming educated about many things. It feels great because I can talk to many different peolple about many different topics. I think this is what college is really be about.

College is so much better for me than high school. I really like college and being able to succeed. I have enjoyed all my classes thus far; pyschology, art, oceanography, etc. I don't participate much in class but if I ever have questions or concerns I always talk to my professor after class. I think learning here is both preparing you for getting a job, but you also have the liberty to take some classes that you just find interesting and want to take.

My academics at CSU have been mediocur and I seem to get poor grades on my tests. I can always get A's oon my papers, but when it comes to test taking I seem to struggle.

Some professor really try to get to know students, some don't. I think that is what it is like everywhere. I love the journalism department professors. They try to get to know students and are always willing to be a reference. Many bright students in my major. Feel lots of competition. Journalism doesn't do a good job helping you find a job. Hard to get help in this area w/in the department.

Classes are great; a lot of professors like to get out of the classroom and do practical learning, but if you're looking for a good all-around experience, CSU classes are great.

The academic programs at CSU are very good. I have been presented with the oppertunity to learn as much as I can at CSU. Although we all have bad professors and bad classes, the majority of my experience has been positive. It seems each college is very seperated in terms of academic standards, meaning not that the University as a whole requires different things from different students, but meaning that some programs are more demanding then others. I can only speak for the Business and Japanese departments. The only thing I seemed to consistently dislike about the business department is adjunct professors. It seems that every class I did not benifit from or wonder why I had to take it was taught by an adjunct professor.

The nice thing about CSU academics is that not every class you take has 3 or 4 hundred people in it, there are always opportunities to take smaller classes and get a bit more individualized attention.

Academics at CSU are great, CSU offers a lot of majors that a lot of other universities don't have, the only thing that is difficult is class schedualing sometimes it's very hard to get into classes that you may need for your major.

I loved my sociology class with Zurhan, he was so animated and personable. Class participation is commonly expected by teachers but many students don't. Most unique class so far that I have taken would be my RA class.
