Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

There is a lot of pride that comes along with being a Ram. We may not have the best sports teams in the nation but I think we have the heart to make us contenders in that arena. In general it feels like CSU is a very laid-back place--a lot of people are very active and you can tell by all the outdoor stuff we have offered here and especially near by. I would never be afraid to approach anyone and ask them a question because everyone is so nice and approachable.

CSU is a wonderful school. It is a large school, but the individual colleges break down the size. It is nice being able to walk down the halls and see a lot of familiar faces. Ft. Collins is a great college town. I grew up about 20 minutes from Ft. Collins and could not bring myself to leave the area. A lot of people take advantage of our close proximity to the mountains and love spending their time outdoors. Our school lacks in school spirit, the past few years our sports teams have done very poor. My favorite place to go on campus is to the Oval, it is a beautiful part of campus during all seasons. My freshman year was absolutely amazing! I loved living in the dorms, there was always something going on. Some of my best memories have been from playing intramural volleyball, soccer, and flag football.

I think that CSU is a great school. We have a great beautiful campus with very smart proffesors. I love the location of this place here in Fort Collins. When I tell people that I go to CSU a lot of them think I am an enviromentilist hippi. There is a lot of school pride here and most people are proud to be a CSU ram. I wuill always remember the football games.

Two things: The best and worst of CSU. One of the best things about CSU is the town it's located in. Fort Collins is an awesome community that is just the perfect size. It's not too small, but it's not a thriving metropolis, either. There's so much to do that is all within an hour away and having things like that can really enhance your college experience. Now, the worst thing about CSU is that a lot of the improvements that happen on campus sometimes don't really seem like they are for the improvement of students. Sure, they build new buildings all the time. But in doing so, they take away parking lots and add to frustrations already associated with parking. The administration continually raises student fees for all these things, but somehow, students never really reap the benefits. Classes are still overcrowded in many departments, due to lack of funding. There's not enough money to hire new teachers to create more classes, and as a result, students get stuck waiting to take the classes that they need. CSU expands it's dorms, to be able to accept more freshmen each year, but then never accounts for accommodating any of those extra students.

Whenever I tell someone that I go to Colorado State I always get the response, "Good choice!" I love going to CSU I would not want it any other way. I feel I made a good decision.

CSU is comprised of people from many different backgrounds and cultures. Coming from Illinois, I have already learned quite a bit from my fellow students and faculty at CSU. On top of having a beautiful campus, Colorado State is located in a wonderful town. Fort Collins is a great place to live, and although CSU makes up a large part of the town, Fort Collins would still thrive without it.

CSU is just right size wise. I don't enjoy the 400 count classes though, its a terrible way to learn. I spend most of my time on campus in the student center, my dorm or the library. A lot of people are in the library. We sure live in a college town, fort collins embraces CSU so well. It's not a separate city from the campus. There is a lot of school pride, many love to say they're rams.

Fort collins is a big city with a small city feel. CSU is the heart of the town and in my opinion is a great atmosphere for shool. the campus has a good feel. the school is pretty large but offers opportunity to get into smaller programs, making it just right for pretty much anyone. overall i feel CSU has a pretty good rep and i am proud to say i attend this university.

The school is huge, which is good in the respect that there are alot of people to meet. If i could change one thing it would be the weather.

The best thing about CSU is the students and the helpful faculty. All of the professors that I have had have office hours, or at least are willing to meet with students by appointment. The people here are also really nice- everyone seems very open minded and helpful. The size of the school is also nice- there are plenty of people, but you still run into a lot of familiar faces on your way to and from class. People are also pretty CSU-spirited around here- you'll see a lot of students wearing CSU items on a daily basis.
