Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

I am still transitioning but the hardest part about university life compared to community college life is the diversity and size. The community college I attended I usually was not the only minority in my class.

Although I am in a pretty limited major (about 100 kids per grade) only a few of my professors know my name. My favorite class would be Psychology with Serena Enke, she is the best teach! My major is great! All of the staff and advisors are so helpful and understanding. My department really helps me to get the right classes to get the best job possible after i graduate!

Many professors try to get to know there students at CSU. My favorite class was sociology with Denis (I can't remember his last name). My least favorite was current world problems with Marny, we learned about the cold war the whole time and only touched on major issues the last two weeks, also she did not follow the syllabus at all! I feel as if the country is dumbing down and I'm very disapointed that no one is aware of current issues or seems to even care that such things and more concerned with what's going to happen on reality t.v. I feel CSU has good academic requirements. Yes the education is geared toward success in society but really it depends if the professor cares and how they teach to engage the students or not.

Right now classes are pretty easy for me. There are a lot of good classes like Current World Problems and Logic and Critical Thinking. I don't think any professors know my name, but so far they have all been really inteligent and good teachers. I think it is one of the better academic programs in the country? Students are competitive i would say, but also cooperative and sharing. People are always wanting to study togehter and share ideas and stuff about projects, exams or papers.

Because i'm an international student most proffesors and students don't know my name which is a little sad, but mainly classes are fun and i really like the idea of extra credit and thats when i can really cover up and add more points if i mess up.

i do know my professors names. my favorite class was college composition, it was about 20 people and my teacher was awesome! I liked the small atmosphere because i came from a small high school so it was a nice transition for my 1st semester of freshman year. I got to know the teacher really well and the class really applied everything i learned from highschool, it was very useful. most people hated that class but it was a great class for me. Everything i have learned so far i know that it will be useful later in life, CSU is definatly geared toward getting a job and its great!

It all depends on how far the student is willing to go. I always go meet with each of my teachers at least once a semester to establish a good relationship and get to know what they might be able to do for me. If you do this they will remember you by name and get to know your interest more (business school). The students who care and are interested can always find other students, clubs or organizations to further explore their passions. I think the school is pretty easy to get into and we might want to make it harder.

everyone particpates in class. I love that as we are getting into our upper level courses that the professors are starting to respect students more.

I think that I've found as I'm getting into more advanced courses that it's apparent that students really want to be in class and learn. Professors seem to be a little more respectful to students as we're getting older, which is awesome. Professors always have their door open. I've found when I need help all my professors have been willing to take time out for me and my problems.
