Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

Outdoor activities, such as hiking or riding a bike on a trail.

There are so many clubs and activities to choose from! If you really try, you will never be bored because there will always be something going on.

Football, Student Government, Pep Rallies, and Festivals

..

Greek life is pretty popular at CSU, but not overwhelmingly so. There are a lot of major-specific clubs and lots of "fun clubs" too, like Yoga club, Ultimate Frisbee club, rock climbers, book nerds, the list goes on.

Athletics are a common activity on weekends. Football games are a fun way to spend a Saturday. Each year the school does an Undie Run where everyone runs a lap around the oval in their underwear, and it is so much fun! People definitely party here, but there are other options too. CSU is very outdoors oriented. The gym has a great rock wall and tons of fitness classes to offer.

I would say Greek Life is the most popular student activity around campus but there are many different groups for specific interests in each college. For example the College of Ag has block and bridle club or CSU cattlewomens association, and lots more.

One of the most popular clubs on campus is the CSU Snowrider Club. This is the club that travels up to various ski resorts throughout the winter months. Intramural sports are also very popular because they are simply designed to have fun. You do not need to be good at a sport to join an intramural team. It is a group of students who get together on a regular basis and play whatever their sport is. You can meet some awesome people with similar interests in clubs and intramural sports. Your first year you will live in the dorms which is actually really fun. Make sure you stay active in your hall and you get to know everybody on your floor because not only are you living with them, but you can meet some of the best friends you will every have. Weekend life varies depending on the person. There are people who go out to parties each weekend. But there are also other people who will go home each weekend. If you are a person like me who will go out to parties every now and then, there are other activities to do besides party. Old town is a fun place to go on the weekends, going to sporting events, and simply hanging out with friends are all great alternatives to partying each weekend that students like myself enjoy.

There are a plethora of groups on campus to be involved in. The town also loves celebrating football, especially during the rivalry games. In addition, for those who are of drinking age can enjoy the microbreweries around town, and the many festivals that happen throughout the year.

There are a million groups on campus (Okay, I'm exaggerating). There is something for everyone. I wouldn't say any one group is more popular than another. It just depends on your interests. We have lots of guest speakers and usually one big concert a year, sometimes two. We have comedians come in and small artists. It's quite fun! There are so many activities in general on campus. Last February there was a speed dating thing in the LSC, which was such a blast! It was fun to just meet people even if you weren't planning on going out for a date. Frats and sororities aren't a huge deal, which is super nice. The weekends don't revolve around greek life! If you want to be involved with that, great, go for it. If you don't it's not a big deal. There are house parties, you can go down to old town to go out to eat, or just chill with your friends and watch a movie. I've done it all and it's really whatever you feel like doing. I don't drink and there are plenty of other options besides getting wasted every weekend (But if that is your thing you'll be able to!). I live off campus as well and don't feel "separated" from the school. Last Tuesday I went salsa dancing at the Rio downtown and on Thursdays you can go to Sundance for line dancing. So miuch fun stuff! You're interested in it? We have it!

It is difficult to say what is the most popular organization/club etc... because there are so many of them. I would say that there is no most popular one but they all have a following and a tight knit group of students. No matter what you are interested in, there is a club to match your interests, and if for some reason there isn't, then you can start your own. There are a lot of great volunteering centered organizations as well which offers a lot of opportunities to get involved in the community. It is incredibly important to get involved in the local community wherever you go to college. My social scene was a little different from other CSU students, but my experience was very calm with no partying. I lived in the honors residential learning community, so I met a lot of like minded students who were willing to hang out and play games or watch a movie on a Friday night rather than go party. There are partiers at any college campus, but there are certainly plenty of people to hang out with who do not want to party if that is not what you want to do. Sports events are very popular at CSU. The football team is unfortunately pretty bad, but it is still fun to go and tailgate and enjoy the football atmosphere even when the Rams are getting flattened on the field. Our volleyball team however, is really good, and the volleyball and basketball games are very fun to go watch. My greatest experience with CSU has been residence life, which is why I wanted to be an RA. I met most my closest friends in my residence hall, and I was completely content to hang out in my hall. The residence halls are an awesome atmosphere, and it's an incredible experience to live with dozens and dozens of people who you are friends with.

The most popular events is the games, mainly the football games. There are many bars for when you are 21 and older and many underage concerts and activities. A really popular site is sundance on Tuesday nights for swing dancing. There are also movies on campus every week that are free and concerts and plays to go to put on by the theater program at CSU.

There is always a lot to do here...sporting events, music shows, activities, guest speakers...you name it and we have it going on. Everything is very accessible in Fort Collins and it is easy to get to if you don't have a car!

All of my closest friends I met in the dorms. It is mandatory for all freshman to live in the dorms...there is a good reason for it, because it helps establish a social network. Fraternities and Sororities have a presence, but not a strong one. If you are interested in joining one you can, but if you don't, it's not like you won't fit in. I spend a lot of time doing stuff for my business fraternity, last weekend we had a progressive dinner and this weekend we have a retreat. Old Town has some great bars and every so often I go to Denver to go dancing.

The most popular sport here is football. Even thouigh we are not very good it is still a lot of fun to go to the game and enjoy ourselves.

I'm not really involved in any activities on campus, which is really due to the fact that I have two part-time jobs outside of class and there just is not enough time to be involved in anything else. However, there is still a lot of stuff to do off-campus. For those over 21, there are a ton of great bars, many of which are located very close to campus. There is also a lot of support from local businesses. Many local businesses always seem to give discounts to students, which is awesome.

Being on an intramural team is big. There are so many seasons and sports that you can participate in. It's really fun to put your own team together and play against other people on campus. I love the fairs they have in the plaza, they make everyone happy with free give-aways and info.

good

because of issues still going on at home i haven't been too involved with the university. next year i plan to join the lacrosse team. the carnavles and events going on in durelle are usually pretty popular within my group of friends. my hall gets along pretty well and doors are usually left open. if someone is going out for the night, most everyone in the hall is invited to come along.
