I would most deffinietly change the parking situation, it is absolutely ridiculous to find a spot and is quite annoying. There are many people that give me crap for going to CSU but i also get a lot of good responses too it really just depends on where they went/go to school.

CSU is just right in size for me. It is exactly what I wanted. It is the right amount of students, has Greek life, and has pretty good athletics. I grew up watching college sports and going to cheer on the teams back at home so that is something my school had to have. On campus, I spend a lot of time in the library, the various computer labs, and in LSC (Lory Student Center--our go to area where food, books, clothes, etc. is sold). CSU is definately in a college town. We have the support of numerous neighboring businesses which is awesome!

I love the open campus, our buildings aren't on top of each other, the grounds are always clean, kids are usually friendly and polite, holding doors open for others, saying excuse me, etc. I think CSU is in a great town, its a good size city with a small town feel. I do wish CSU's administration would be a little more honest with us, like the Sonny Lubick situation, president Penely said, in an all campus- all student body email, that Coach wasn't getting fired (b/s!) and then to find out a few days later in our (EXTREMELY) liberal school paper, that Lubick was fired as Head coach but was being asked to take another position, thats not being truthful if you ask me.
I think we have a strong sense of school pride, even tho our football team sucks kids still show up to the games wearing their colors proud.

The best thing at CSU is the social life. One thing I would change are some of the teachers. I think the school is just right. People think it's cool that I go to CSU. I spend most of my time hanging out with friends in the dorm or in the lory student center or outside when it's nice. Yes, it is definitely a college town. The administration is good I really like my advisor too. There is a lot of school pride. One experience I will never forget is the preview and the football games my first one. The most student complaints are either about how bad a few of their teachers are or how bad the RAs are.

Compared to my my high school there is a lot of school pride. Its nice to walk around on campus and see that almost everyone you pass is wearing some sort of csu appereal. It makes me see i go to a great school because know one is ashamed to be a CSU Ram.

I love CSU. The size is perfect, because you don't get lost but you don't have to see the same people every day if you don't want to. The campus is gorgeous, and the location is perfect. The town is lively but classy, with enough college to make it fun and enough other residents to make it more like a town. I got a lot of crap for coming to CSU from friends who were going to Creighton, Princeton, etc., but many of them regret going to the schools they attend right now and are jealous of my experiences at CSU.

The best thing about CSU is the community which it is in. I think the community is great and very college orientated. I think there is a lot of pride in the school and I have pride in the school. I spend most of my time on campus in the classroom. The number one thing I would change is more parking!!!!!

If i could change one thing about CSU is there emphasis on sports. Granted we need more money for all sports including clubs, but often classes get cut due to budgets.
The reason i came to csu is because of the people and the landscape. Also CSU has the one of the best natural resource colleges in the nation.

I love the campus. Its really pretty in the summer and fall. I also like the way campus is arranged. Sometimes it might take you awhile to get to class but at least the buildings are pretty easy to find.

CSU is great, it has a great feel. The size is great, yes you have your 200+ people classes, but you also have your 20 people classes. Fort Collins is a great college town, its a big town but feels smaller because its so spread out. School pride is down after a loosing basketball season, but I think over all everyone is still proud to be a CSU Ram.
