I'M PROUD TO BE A CSU RAM. I am just a freshman but this year has been the best year of my life. People talk about how many students go here and how hard it is to see people you know because the campus is big but that is not the case. I got involved in a Professional business fraternity-Delta Sigma Pi and I have made so many connections. Everyday walking around I see some friendly faces because people here are genuine and willing to talk. I love how seeing someone can make the campus feel small.

I love CSU! it's gorgeous! the one thing i would change is the food. I do not like the dorm food at all. I

One thing I would change about CSU is the fact that they will find every little thing to charge you for.

The best thing about CSU is the environment and atmosphere Fort Collins has. I believe are school could be a little bit bigger because there is a little crowding in classrooms. If I'm on campus I am usually in class or killing time in the lory student center. I do believe Fort Collins is a college town because without CSU Fort Collins would barely be anything. The summer is basically a vacant town without the students.

I love CSU, plain and simple. I love its atmosphere, I love the people here, I love the activities here. All around it is a great school to be at. No matter what your major you can find something that helps promote that and gets you involved in it. I think out of the whole campus my favorite place to be is the library, not necessarily to always be studying, but to just go and relax and think a little. The atmosphere is niec and theres always a good quiet spot for you to just sit down and either do homework or just think.

I really love coming to school here! The campus is really nice, and I definately get the feeling that everyone here is very friends, because they are! I love the way the residence halls are, somewhat, separate from the rest of the campus. I don't think that there is anything that I would change, there is the right amount of people, and all the professors are great!

I think CSU is the perfect size for me. I like being able to meet new people each semester, and still be able to see some people around campus that I can say 'Hi' to. Fort Collins is definitely a college town. Not that the whole town is made up of just college students and faculty, but that the whole town is full of CSU pride. You can see bumper stickers, decals and flags pretty much everywhere you go, which makes you that much more involved in your school.

I really like CSU because of its a larger campus. Although sometimes i wish classes were smaller, because it might be easier to get more attention from the teacher and learning would come easier, however, i like big classes because that is the ideal college feel. I enjoy the freedom to be able to attend class because I want to, and not because I have to. I also like that CSU because its a nice college in Colorado. I came to school here because I wanted to move to Colorado, and this seemed like a good school in a great state. One thing I hate about CSU is that people can smoke everywhere and anywhere on campus. I dont care if others smoke, but I dont like the idea of them smoking near me. I have realized that campus' like Front Range Community COllege in Fort College has designated smoking areas, where as at CSU poeple smoke infront of doors to buildings, while waiting in lines, or in common areas outside of the lowry Student Center. So if I could change something that is the first thing I would change. Also i feel CSU needs some updating... a lot of the class rooms have broken chairs and desks, and need some new things. As for it being a college town, I enjoy it. there are a lot of younger people in this town and people who are active, that go out and run, take their dogs to the park, and overall are active. I like being around this, becuase then I too am motivated to be active and feel safe and comfortable being out and about. Where as in Denver near DU and Metro, I would be afraid becuase its a large city with lots of smog, and bums, and the crime rate is a bit higher than Fort Collins.

Best thing about CSU: It's a large university and therefore has many benefits to offer One thing I'd change: more FUNDING for Theatre & Dance departments (we can hardly afford to offer the BASIC classes to students in these majors) Too large, too small, just right: CSU is large, but just right for me. It's like its own city. People react with indifference when I tell them I go to CSU; they are not impressed but do not think low of it. I spend most of my time on campus: at the University Center for the Arts (technically just OFF campus) CSU defintely makes Ft Collins a College Town CSU's administration: Like any administration, I imagine there are alot of politics involved (both personal and public), and sometimes decisions will be bias despite efforts to make fair/equal decisions. Frequent student complaints: PARKING, tuition hikes, construction that we have to work with but won't benefit from (we'll be gone when it's done.)

Our school is really laid back. The classes can be easy or hard depending upon the professor. I spend most of my time in the lib when Im not in class, its huge. Our school is just right.
