So far, I've really enjoyed my time at CSU. Even though we have a very large campus, there are still plenty of opportunities to get personal with the staff and students. It's easy to get help when you need it and there are resources available for almost everything you could imagine. There are a wide variety of student organizations and everyone does a good job of making members feel welcome. It's easy to meet new friends and the atmosphere is generally pretty relaxed. Overall, CSU is an exciting and comfortable place to enojy your college experience.

Excellent school. Great setting. It's against a backdrop of the beautiful foothills, and there is so much to do here. It really is a college town.

I think the best thing about CSU is its location. There is so much to do here and its not too far from Denver, the mountains, Estes Park, etc. There is a lot of school pride, especially when we are winning.

I would say most people i talk to out of colorado do not know very much about CSU. I love CSU because for the most part everyone is really laid back. I also like the campus becasue it is very open and has a great view of the mountains. For the most part the facilities are just okay but it seems like everything on campus is in the process of being updated. Fort Collins is the epitnome of a college town, most kids here are not used to seeing too many people over 26 or under 18 or over. i would say there is smoe friction between older fort colllins residents and college kids. The biggest controversy is the greek scene in paticular the frats giving a bad name to the greek system (parties, girls, booze, drugs etc). Another big deal is the student population, mostly the school newspaper constant bitching about school admins and spending. Im pround to go to csu but i think i just went to one football game because our football team is so terrible along with our other sports. any diversity on campus is mainly due to our athletic teams who are either going to the most raging parties or constatnly stoned off the best weed money can buy in fort collins.

The best thing about CSU is the atmosphere on campus. Many people see that CSU is a school of about 25,000 people and assume that the number of people would not be conducive to a very friendly atmosphere. However, at CSU, people are still polite and friendly even though you do not know them. There is just a fun "vibe" anytime on campus and there is always something going on. Whether you are walking through the plaza and there is some festival or simply through the student center and they are handing out free stuff.

Everyone here is usually pretty nice, and everyone seems energetic and very in to recreational things.

To the best thing about CSU is the fact that it is a big school but really isn't compared to other schools, the campus is really convienient to get around I think compared to my last college which was in two different locations. I like the college of business it is very nice.

I like the location of CSU. Fort collins is big enough that there is stuff to do, and it is close enough to Denver to enjoy some city life.

i've really enjoyed going to CSU so far. someone needs to do something about our power hungry athletic director, but other than that, i like most aspects about csu. if you could move the school to either the west coast or the east coast or bring an ocean to us, this would be a perfect place. one thing that i truly hate is all of the crap that liberals write in the collegian. i know that we all have the right to freedom of speech, but come on now...bashing our president and making all kinds of left wing comments or writing only left wing articles in the paper is pretty ridiculous! i fell like our school is being overrun by a bunch of liberal hippies that are trying to conform the whole school to think and believe what they think and believe. most days of the week, i just want to walk into the collegian editing room or building or wherever they meet and punch most of them in the face. i'm embarrassed to say that i go to CSU because of things that they've said in the collegian.
