Everyone is so friendly and the campus seems a lot smaller than it is. I always see someone I know when I am out walking. There is always something to do with the foothills a few miles away. I spend a lot of time in the Rec Center, dorm halls, the library, and the Student Center. The professors are great, love what they are doing. I will always remember doing a sunrise hike up horsetooth with a group of my friends. We left at 5am and got to the top of the mountain right as the sun was coming up. On of my friends brought his guitar and we sang and played music.

I like the CSU campus. I wish the weather would pick what it wants to be though.

The best thing about CSU is our campus and the friendly atmosphere of Fort Collins. I think our school size is just about right with bout 26,000 students attending. I would change the increasing tuition rate, which is supposed to rise by 19{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} by next year. Fort Collins is definitely a college town, but in a great way. It's really easy to meet a lot of friendly chill people.

Our athletics teams are bad, football and basketball, but they still want us, regular students, to pay more for them. when they are the ones who get scholarships and free meal plans and whatever else. therefore i think the school should make them play for things and not the students who dont play and have to watch them lose every game.

CSU is a great school, and after spending almost the whole year here, I wouldn't have changed my mind about this school one bit. Ft. Collins is a great college town, and I love the atmosphere of it. CSU is a safe place, and I feel very safe when walking around campus or anywhere in Ft. Collins. Living in the dorms is also a great experience, and I have met some of the most amazing people there. We created so many great memories.
Allison
I think CSU is the perfect size, not too big, not too small. I also like that Ft collins is a college town. there is a really good amount of school pride. Not too much or too little.
Amy
I spend most of my time in the College of Business. The size of my school is just right. People are excited that I am from out of state and also puzzled since I choose such a landlocked school.
Meg
THe best thing about CSU is that although it's a relatively large campus, it's still small enough that you know several people and teachers on campus. You can't walk across campus without seeing tons of people you know.
Stacey
The best thing about CSU would be the people. Professors, students, administrators...they're all pretty good! If I could change one thing I'd give CSU more funding, we do not get enough money from the state or Alumni contributions. People often ask me if I've been in a riot I say I'm from CSU, or they ask how the mountains are. The biggest recent controversy was the F*** Bush newspaper issue...not too good to explain to the parents. CSU's administration is often misunderstood, they try their best with the allocations they have been given. CSU has immense school pride when it is compared to CU.
Sam
If I could do it over again, I would go to a much smaller school. CSU is way to big and I hate not having that close communitiy one would have at a smaller university.
Kristyn
I love CSU. It is the right size for me, just big enough. I feel like there should be more school pride, I love schoo spirit because it a common denominator between people of different backgrounds. I love the town (Fort Collins) that CSU is located in.
Allison
I love CSU. its the perfect size and i really love living in a college town. i like the school pride because its there but not shoved in your face. the people are all really nice too (students and staff)

There is a lot of construction on campus and it is happening on all ends. If that construction weren't happening the University would surely look more professional and clean to visitors and new students. But I do realize that this is for the near future and that the construction is moving at a fantastically fast pace.
Thousands of students and I have come to the conclusion that the University's police department take a bit too much time patrolling outside of campus and abusing their power outside of campus. Yes yes, I do know that they are real police officers but when I see them roaming miles outside of campus looking for something or someone to regulate I feel that they are infringing upon my privacy as a student and as a resident of Fort Collins. Yes, I have been run down by the CSU PD. Yes I do feel that the Fort Collins PD handle this city very well, and enough to force the campus police to stay within their grounds. Laurel and LeMay? Get back to campus where you belong! Taft and Mulberry? Jiminy!
Theresa
I love CSU! I love saying that I go to a big university and people usually say that its a good choice. The town is really nice too.
Steph
The best thing about CSU is the community. CSU is in the perfect location for a college.
I would change the layout of the campus to make it not so spread and and more distinctive in appearance.
The school is the perfect size.
Dylan
I find CSU the perfect size, I really like the fact that it's not too big or small. I also like the fact that Fort Collins is a college city, i mean, everywhere you go you see something that has to do with "CSU" or "Rams" and that really gives you a huge sense of pride.
Taylor
I think that the classes are too big and that they need to downsize for more one on one.
emily
i love the campus and how open it is. i think the school is just right size wise, i have some large classes, but for the most part they aren't terribly large. i feel like there is definitely a lot of school pride.
Max
I was questioning going to CSU because I have grown up in Fort Collins and was looking for a bit of a change, but now I'm so glad I decided to stay. CSU has so many things to offer. There are hundreds of clubs and organizations, and just generally a ton of new people to meet around campus. Before coming to CSU, when I told people I was planning on coming here I pretty much felt like I was just settling by staying in Fort Collins. Now that I'm here I have so much more Ram Pride and would say that CSU compares to almost any collegiate school in the nation.
Jesse
The one thing that I woulld change about CSU would be that fact that it is not as "green" as I would like it to be.
