We are a school that is accepting to all types of people. We are just the right size and I would change nothing.
Kara
The one thing that i would change about CSU is the sports. CSU is just right. I spend most of my time on campus at the library or in class. No there is no school pride in my opinion.
Kristin
CSU is a school where you just feel welcome. The campus is nice and everything is close by. People are friendly and it is easy to make friends anywhere.
Rebecca
The best thing about CSU is the town. I love that it is so small and everything is close together.
Josh
There aren't as many hot girls as I thought there would be, but still a lot
Just right size
People usually respond good for you or are somewhat proud
spend time on campus
college town
administration pretty nice and wanting to help
an average amount of school pride
biggest controversy was the "Fuck Bush" in the paper
There's a giant stump in the middle of where people walk that people stand on and address others
An experiance that I will remember is the first two weeks in the dorms
most complaints are about the dorm food
Jeff
the school is good i like it alot. there is tons of fun stuff to do not just watch the crappy school teams

CUS has a great campus, and it is getting better every year. The school could be downsized a bit due to the lack of 'personal' interaction you could be getting at a smaller school. I spend the majority of my time in my dorm room or in the library. The largest controversy I have seen on campus this year was when our local newspaper (the Collegian) put FUCK BUSH as the healine. That raised all hell. There really is a lot of school pride, which is suprising because it isn't that amazing of a school. You don't come across a lot of complaints up here.
Joey
The best thing about CSU would be all of the friends I've met up here, the many activities and involvement opportunities that take place, and most importantly the higher education that we recieve in such a great environment to be in.

CSU IS BIG SCHOOL WITH A GREAT OFFER FOR A BETTER EDUCATION. THE SCHOOL IS ITS OWN TOWN. IT IS A VERY NICE CAMPUS TO SPEND TIME AT. COLLEGE TOWN IS WHERE MOST OF THE POPULATION ARE STUDENT BECAUSE THE SCHOOL IS SO BIG AND HAS MANY STUDENT THE ASSIT TO THE UNIVERSITY. CSU HAS MANY SPORTS IN WHICH PEOPLE CAN PARTICIPATE IN. THE FACILITIES ARE WONDERFUL. IT IS MY FIRST YEAR HERE AND I LIKE IT A LOT BASED ON THE EDUCATION AND THE SPORTS PROGRAMS.
Trevor
CSU is a huge part of the community. The city is also very accepting of college ways. I have loved my time at CSU. The only major complaint I have is that the school is not very good at graduating people on time. It has taken five full years to graduate and Im definitly not graduating alone. That may be the univeresitys fault or it may be that Fort Collins is such a good time that no one wants to leave, but either way its easier to tell my parents that CSU suck at graduating students. My favorite contriversy since I have been here wass just last semester when FUCK BUSH was printed in the school paper. Not only was it in the paper it was in gaint text that took up the entire editorial section. The contriversy seemed trivial to me. but it was fun to watch everyone get so excited about it.

I LOVE CSU!!! Coming from a small town in Colorado, Fort Collins in general was a breath of fresh air! I feel so at home here and walking on the campus inspires me each and everyday! I have so much pride in my new school and when i tell people i attend CSU, they react with smiles and go on to tell me how much they love Fort Collins or inform me that their child goes there as well! I was just down in Durango visiting a few friends and was so suprised to see that there is NO school pirde there what so ever! Which leads me to say that CSU students are most definatly PROUD to be CSU students! Every vehicle has a CSU sticker and everyone wears the name on their shirt, we have pride no doubt!
Travis
CSU is just right with size, the town of Fort Collins is a perfect college town. The only thing I would change is that student housing is to spread out. If your not 21 and still have to house party hop...get ready to walk! If you are 21 the bar scene here at CSU is perfect.
Ashley
The best thing about CSU is the people. The school size is just right. When I tell people I am a student at CSU, they say, "good for you." I spend most of my time in the classes I am taking. There is a lot of school pride.
natalie
CSU is a good school with a good community around it. I really like Fort Collins and the people here. If i could change anything i would get rid of about half the cops in Fort Colllins there is no need for the amount of cops that are here and they are the only thing i really really hate about fort collins. They make it seem like having even the slightest bit of fun is illegal. I get to scared to do anything because i know the cops are always just around the corner waiting to bust up eveything from big parties to friendly het togethers. Whether or not alcohol is involved. I think CSU is just right.They think its a good school unless they are from CU.In the library. I dont think there is a lot of school pride because all of the sports that matter jus arent that good at CSU and no one cares about them, they are actually quite an embarrassment its hard to have school pride when your football team has one of the worst records in the country. I think that the biggest complaint is the cops. I know there need to be cops in a college town but i dont think i could find a student who wouldnt agree that they are more than a little oput of control at CSU.
Cameron
The best thing about CSU is that it's a nice place and that the people are friendly. The one thing that I would change about it is to reduce the cost of tuition. Whenever I tell people that I go to CSU I've always had positive feedback. The one thing I like about this place is the town and the people.
Russell
best thing about CSU is the diversity of people you can meet and even though its huge.. you still see some of the sme people everyday. one thing i would change is the dorms.. newsom sucks. this school is huge..that is good for some poeple and bad for others. when i tell people i go here, they act surprised.yes i spend most of my time on campus and not by choice. college town for sure. the administration that i have come in contact with thus far is good for the most part, i feel there are a few administrators that are underqualified and some professors that dont teach effectively. yes there is much school pride but there would be more if the football team was better. i will probably always remember freshman homecoming and hopefully every homecoing in the future.
Lindsey
The best thing about CSU is the freedom you have to go to class or not to go to class... you have so much more freedom than high school. I'd change the parking situation... make places on campus to park without a permit. People think its cool that i go to CSU. i spend most of my time on campus in class. College town for sure. the biggest recent controversy is jesus. I want to see more people turned to the Lord!! There is a lot of school pride, yes.
Kelly
I think the best thing about CSU is the people, the area, the school, the programs, I honestly just love CSU. I am from Maine and moving out here and going to CSU has been the best choice that I have made. I would probably change the school minorly maybe adding a few more on school activities for instance the Boulder university has a bowling ally at there school. I love the amount of people that go here it is a large number but I love people so it works. People normally just say "oh cool" when I tell them I go to CSU. I spend most of my time in my dorm room or at the library/lab. I think this is a college town compared to other places but I feel it is more "reserved" I guess compared to CU. I really do not have much to say about the administration but the teachers are awesome well, the ones I have had so far. I do not know of any controversies because I do not really pay attention. I think there is a lot of school pride I see people wearing CSU clothing all the time. I don't find anything really unusual about CSU. One thing I will always remember about this college is the day I walked around and met a bunch of people in my dorm and then went out with a random group of people one night and getting stopped by the cops for crossing the road. Most frequent student complaints are about people on their hall or in their dorm.
Megan
The best thing about CSU is it's convenient capmus.
Colleen
The best thing about CSU is the people if I had to change anything about CSU I would make some classes smaller. When I tell people I go to CSU it depends on whom you say it to but if they don't go to CU they respect it. I spend most of my time around the dorm and old town but I wish there was more to do during the winter. I think the administration is good I did have a bad advisor but you can always ask for a new one. We need more school pride; it’s gone down because we are losing in the popular sports. I will always remember the nights in the dorms and free limo rides to the club.
