CSU is a great school that has great teachers and excellent resources. The dorms were nice and well kept and the dining halls have great food. The thing about the campus that i dont like is that it is so wide open and i feel like there isnt much to look at. Fort Collins has a very warm feeling and is very diverse.

Lauren

I think everything is great at CSU. I think the best part is the people. I have made a lot of friends since being up here. It just seems like the majority of the people are happy and really friendly. CSU is not too big or too small. I come from a really small town so it was nice to have a change and experience an environment with a lot of people, but at the same time it is not so big that I feel uncomfortable or scared.

Michael

Overall CSU is a great school. CSU is sized just right. I think that our school lacks pride. Reason being our athletic program needs to improve.

Tammy

The best thing at CSU is the atmosphere. Despite its large campus and student population, it's easy to adapt to. Everyone here seems to be friendly, not only the students but the faculty as well.

Annette

I feel like CSU is too large of a university for people to feel like they are making any substantial changes in their life. Since I have been here, I feel like I have not grown as a person, made any true long lasting friendships or gotten very deeply involved in my subjects. CSU being a large university has contributed to this because a lot of times I feel like it's easy to just sit back and do nothing and not put any effort into anything because no one is watching.

Brittani

So far I have really enjoyed CSU. The campus is nice but parking is death and only continues to get worse! The buildings are not the most aesthetically pleasing but I am not really at school for the aesthetics of the campus. If I could change one thing, it would not be about the school, it would be about the weather. I feel like it is ALWAYS windy in Fort Collins. This makes it very unenjoyable walking or biking to class.

Natalie

I like how there is always something going on here and that there are so many opportunities to get involved with other students and organizations. I think this school is a good size for me. My favorite thing about CSU is how "green" it is. I spend a lot of time off campus which is nice for me because I like to get away from school as often as I can.

Jesse

Attending CSU is a wonderful experience for everyone. The classes are unique and are suitable for any age. Also, the class size is just right; not too big nor too small.

Jane

I love the people who go to school here and the town, i find it easy to fit in and meet new people. one thing i would change is how they match people up in the dorms, i don't really think that they really take into consideration the information that we give them. In my eyes the size of CSU is just about right. Many people ask if i like it and if i would rather be at CU, but i tell them i love it up here. In my dorm room and in the library. Fort Collins is a College town, for sure. I honestly do not know much about the administration at this point so that must mean they are pretty good. i love the School pride and the sporting events.

Alex

I love that it's big, but I am in honors (which I recommend) so I still get small classes. I am having difficulties choosing a major, and it's great that CSU has so many. The experience is your own. The resources are almost limitless here, you just have to be motivated enough to use them. The dorms aren't bad, the food is pretty good. It's great to be on campus, there's so much to do. Some of the administration is helpful, others (some advisors) aren't, but the benefit of being in a big school is the fact that there are probably five different advisors just for that major that you can utilize.

Alex

I think that CSU is the perfect size school. Yes, there are a lot of students and it could be uncomfortable at first. But the more that you spend time making new friends, you can easily see the homey-ness of the school.

Sophia

CSU is located in fort collins, colorado. it is truly a college town. that is how they make most of their income. usually, if you live here you have something to do with the college or your family is here for farming. the town is great, it's little and welcoming. there are 25,000 students and 5,000 professors. it is a big school, but it doesn't feel like it. everybody on the campus is nice and very friendly. csu is a main university that students in colorado pick. when people here that i am going there, it's not a surprise and they wish me luck. there is lots of school pride, especially if we are playing CU Boulder or having a boarder war with Wyoming. overall its a great school.

Jenna

CSU is amazing! Every person I talk to has a relative or knows someone who went or is going to CSU and they never have a bad thing to say. All I hear is praise. I couldn't have picked a better school. I think the size is just right, maybe a little big, but I feel comfortable on campus. I get a very strong sense of community here and feel very welcomed and safe. My only complaint is that I wish that they offered architecture as a major. They have construction management and landscape architecture but not just regular architecture.

Kerri

The best thing about CSU is that there is something for everyone. Whether it's extracurricular activities, clubs, or anything. It's in a great location as well. I think the size is just right, if it were to small I think it would be boring. There is also plenty of school pride.

Amy

CSU is the perfect college, it doesnt dominate fort collins, and the town is spread out. There are things to do and places to eat. Not much crime to speak of. I love it here.

Erin

the campus is far to wide spread, if it were an option they should condens the buildings and have more student space availible. I spend most my time in computer labs CSU's administration is too impersonal. After searching the web and not finding the answers I would call some one and they send me back to the internet. Not very helpful.

Steven

CSU is alright. I really like Colorado and the city of Fort Collins. However I don't like life on the weekends. It seems to center around drinking every night and there aren't a lot of people outside playing sports on the weekends. Actually, there aren't a lot of people at the school period, since lots of people go home. That should tell you something about the school right away.

Lauren

Everyone at CSU is nice! All the students are very polite and are always saying hello to strangers. The size of CSU is just right, you know a lot of people but not every single person..there's always an opportunity to meet new people.

Zach

The best thing about csu is the laid back learning environments
