Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

The social life is fantastic, always people to hang out with and plenty of parties and places to go. Also a safe enviroment with ram-ride and capus safe walk.

There are so many organizations on campus! You could pretty much get involved with anything that you could think of. There are also special events such as speakers, dance recitals, etc. One club that I'm in is Habitat For Humanity. We host benefit concerts for fundraisers, raise the campus' awareness about homelessness in our community, and BUILD HOUSES! The building experience is absolutely fabulous! I'm also in Biomedical Sciences student association, which is great because they bring in speakers that are already established in the field. They give lectures and answer many questions! There are also many community service opportunities. I would say that about half of the students in the dorms leave their doors open. It depends a lot on where you're living though, and how close-knit your hall is. I, for one, keep my door open a lot so that I can talk to all of my friends in the hall, etc. I met almost all of my friends in my dorm, and even in my hall!

In my dorm just about everybody left their doors open and we all hungout together most of the time. The percentage of Greek Life members is apparently pretty small, but you wouldn't know it being on campus. I'm not involved with it and most people I know are in a sorority/fraternity. People party a lot. It may not be in the top ten, but students definitely do a lot of drinking. Those who are underage go to house parties at least 3 days a week, and those of age go to the bars at least a couple times on top of that. There isn't much to do that doesn't involve drinking, but you don't have to drink to be at parties.There're a couple bowling alleys in town and Fort Fun! You can go see movies, there's a drive-in open when it's warm. There are plenty of concert sites in town and plenty of shopping. There're also a bunch of random fun things to do if you're bored!

Some dorm students leave their door open. My closest friends I met at work. People party quite often, but there are other things such as movie theaters, dance clubs, bowling alleys, etc. to enjoy the weekend. Fraternity and sorority members think they're the all mighty members of the universe and are pretty stuck up.

CSU has a great athletic program. While our football team is making a transition to a new head coach, the games are still fun and rowdy. We have many traditions such as the mile high showdown against CU and "The Border War" against the University of Wyoming. Not interested in football? During these events we have activities that all students can particitpate in such as our "grill the buffs" pep rally and our annual blood drive to try to donate more blood than Wyoming. Homecoming is complete with a parade, bonfire, fireworks show, pep rally, parents weekend extravaganza. Oh, and if you've been to Fort Collins, you've probably seen the giant A painted on the side of the mountain. The night before homecoming, we have the lighting of the A, where volunteers hike up and light the A with fireworks and you can see it from the bonfire in the heart of campus. The events of homecoming weekend really make you proud to be a ram. We also have an excellent women's volleyball team. Volleyball games are great and they usually give away awesome prizes. If you venture off campus, there's always something happening in downtown Fort Collins, just North of campus. There are also more clubs and student organizations on campus than you can imagine. They are all welcoming, so if you're interested in something, join a club or start your own!

There are a ton of clubs at CSU to fit anybody's interest. I was disappointed that I didn't have time to join all the ones I was interested in. In addition to the clubs, the rec center offers several non-credit courses (I'm currently taking Shorin Ryu Karate) that I've really enjoyed. There is usually a house party going on every weekend, so if you want to go out, there is opportunity to do so.

ROTC is a great organization. I have learned so many leadership techniques which will help me in my future military career and also in my civilian job.

There are over a hundred student organizations at CSU so there is a niche for anyone whether you want to do a triathlon or part of an ethnicity group. If the week days are for studying, then the weekends are for partying. There is always a house party you can go to on the weekends and the bars in old town are outstanding. And if drinking isn't for you, then you can always find a movie/dance/play/concert to go to.

The most well known student organization is the Pike fraternity. Lots of dorms leave their rooms open.

MSA is the best orgnization because they give good information about themselvies

The most popular organization is MSA.

"If you're awake at 2 in the morning on a Tuesday, what are you doing?" --Probably getting shit-tossed.

I love the social life here. I feel that frat life is not a large part of CSU and I like that. Drinking is obviously quite popular like any college campus, but CSU stresses that we drink in moderation and use safe methods like DD's and RamRide.

The sports teams suck. There is no excitment about any games played what so ever. No one ever gets dressed up except for the first couple football games, but after our team loses the first couple games.. no one even goes anymore.

people party alot. It is a nice sunday and i am the only one in this computer lab even though there are only 3 weeks of school left.....man im such a loser! :-) I work in a bar/resturant and every night we have alotof students in there.

justr great!

One of the best clubs on campus is the Chinese Club. They perform dragon and lion dances, as well as musical performances for the general public and the student body. Performances are given during the holidays and in promotion of various issues that need attention. The exposure the club recieves shows other people to the chinese culture.

Many students are involved in greek life, which is of course sorrorities and fraternities. right now I am not involved in any groups merely because I alreay don't have a life with classes and work and friends and a boyfriend, but hopefully next year. Most of my close friends I met in elementary school, but the dating scene is a little sketchy. There are alot of "players" and frat guys. And equally so, there are alot of blond bettys and sorority girls, but everyone has an easy time finding their niche. Last night I watched a movie with my boyfriend and his friends, not too exciting, but hey it was a wednesday night. On the weekend there is always bowling, movies, drive-ins, camping, and hanging out in legendary downtown, which is crafted to feel a little old, but classic. there are many restaurants and shops with beautiful lights always glowing at night. And you can always find a late-night hang out down town.

Most students in dorms leave their doors open. I lived in one dorm where my hall didn't and then the next semester was complete opposite in a different dorm. If im awake at 2am on a tuesday i am probably studying for a test.

There is everything you could possible want. There are always activities going on and Ft. Collins is a really great town with lots of things to do.
