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.
