Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

My internship experience.

Being proud of academic success is valued the most. I received a 3.6 grade point average during my first semester. Accepting challenges and taking them to the max, gives me a real sense of accomplishment. Our intramural football team and softball team gave me great bragging rights. Our teams did not take first place, but we had a lot of fun while collaborating with new friends. It was once said, "While living in your parents house, your friends are chosen for you, but.... while attending college, you choose your own friends."

I am able to pass with high grades, A's and B's, and for the Spring of 2010 i passed with a 4.0 GPA.

My school is laid back in the nicest town with fun things to do and friendly people to hang out with.

Campus is beautiful! Fort Collins is an awesome city to live in - great food, great bars, great music scene. Classes have been enjoyable so far. Professors are insightful and passionate about what they teach. There are so many offerings and opportunities to get involved and participate in on campus. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

People are great and tolerant. So much to do off campus, but a lot to do if you want to stay more involved in school acitivites. Sports are great here, a lot of school spirit. School is challenging and you have many choices for classes. Expensive and hard to find jobs in this economy. The area is beautiful as well as the school. There is much to do throughout the year, snowboarding, swimming, hiking, rock climbing, you name it, Colorado has it.

I tell them how diverse the student population is. I brag about how beautiful campus is, nestled in the foothills of the mountains. I tell them about the new University Center for the Arts, where I get to dance in a beautiful new space. I tell them about the amazing opportunities for undergrad students in research and study abroad programs. I brag that the math and science programs will give me a leg up in applying to physical therapy school.

When I talk about CSU I talk about the campus and the people. I know several people going there through 4-H and the campus is safe and beautiful.

We are considered one of the most "green universities" in the nation and one of the first to offer students the option to buy green energy for their dorms. We are also in the city that is the skinniest in the nation.

CSU has fantastic resources available for all of its students. In the Psychology department, at least, the advisors are tremendously helpful and knowledgable and the professors are very approachable and always in need of research assistants. The university also has a very useful staff at the Career Center, with insightful advice that is applicable to all careers and gives me a great deal of confidence when I think about the impending job search in my future. Full-time students also receive five free visits to the Health Center and University Counseling Center, both of which are phenomenally staffed.

Can you imagine a class full of nursing students, all vying for the same 24 possitions? Can you imagine the pressure of the entire school on your shoulders as you present your honors theisis? Dude that is what I imainge every time I step into that classroom, and whats more, it's true! We are the very best of the best at that college. We are the future of nursing, we disect, smell and taste thingsthe rest of the college would faint from, and we love it! Can you imagine that?

When talking with my friends I like to brag about the professors and how well I like my classes. The participation levels and the way that they classes are taught are excellent . The involvement with the music program is wonderful and it allows me to relax and enjoy playing my instrument without the stresses of a class setting.

How much fun I have with my friends.

At CSU, there are so many friendly people! It's such a great atmosphere to meet new people and make lasting friends. The suite I live in is also very nice. We have our own custodial staff and we have a kitchen, theater, laundry place, theater, and nice study rooms. No elevators, but we have our own sinks and a bathroom to share with four people. Everything is close and the food is better than most schools I visited. Plus, teachers understand the rigors of socializing on campus and will grant you a few extensions if you ask.

I definately focus on where the school is. Not only does Colorado completly rock as a state, but Ft. Collins has been ranked the best place to live in America for a city it's size several times. The mountains are right next to you, and the sun shines almost 300 days a year. But location only enhances the school's characteristics. The students are numerous and diverse, and there are enough student groups on campus that i'm confident anybody could find a place to fit in.

I brag about the quality of the veterinary school and the steps my university has taken in being 'green.' I'm also proud to be a CSU ram.

The environment of CSU. It is the most incredible community and I feel apart of something special and real everyday. Fort Collins is an amazing town and only increases the environment at CSU. Everyone is friendly and motivated to succeed which is an amazing combination and I am fortunate to experience it everyday.

I brag about the location of the school, and how beautiful it is. I also tell them how lucky I am to be here at the school. I would not have my college experience in any other way.

It is a toss up between how amazing the campus is and all the resources. They campus is bike friendly with many trees and walking paths also. The oval is like walking through the forest . Anytime during the year campus feels like home and looks like a picture from a magazine. The resources from the advisors, mentors, computer labs, clubs, and so forth are great. As long as you know about them, they will help you succeed in a complete college experienece.

There isn't really much to brag about for my school academically since it is a state college. One of the best qualities of it is the environment surrounding it. The community is very supportive of our school and the nature is beautiful; an aspect some colleges don't possess.
