Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

I wish I was aware of the difficulty of the schools engineering program. The program is very difficult and professors provide little assistance.

That it really doesn't matter what college you go to for your undergraduate degree.

I wish I knew more clearly how important it is to get involved in some type of student organization or club. Being involved not only helps you get over the hard shock of being out and on your own more than you ever have been, it also boosts your grades and helps form you into the well-rounded person you want to be. On a big campus like CSU, being involved in some student org is really the best and quickest way to find and make friends interested in similar things as you, which is really priceless.

I wish that I would have known how to apply for financial aid and grants, I am trying in the last few weeks and I am crossing my fingers, but it would have been nice to know before hand.

I feel I knew a lot about CSU before deciding to attend here and there is nothing I regret or feel like I didn't know something.

Education is the gateway to growing, so take it seriously. Don't let the glamour of the social life take you away from the commitment of time, money, and resources deprive you of your education. On average, most students change their major four times, take career tests while still in your senior year. Learn tolerance for all people and all cultures, regardless if you agree with their way of life. Understand that you have been given a privilege, don't take it for granted.

I wish I had known how much fun I would have on campus. I was unsure about living on campus for the first year, but soon became comfortable in the environment. However, I also wish I had known how to deal with a roommate. I would advise anyone to be prepared to face some frustrations when it comes to a roommate, especially as the semester progresses. As my Psychology teacher once said, "If you want to drive yourself crazy, live with someone else for a year!"

I wish I had known about all of the opportunities that would be available to me. If I would have known that, I would have been able to apply for many more things.

Although a Professor might not take attendance and this might sound cliche... but going to class absolutely determines your grade. You cannot skip classes and expect to do well. GO TO CLASS!!!

The geographical and student body size.

I really wished i had, had a better idea of what i wanted to study. I really didn't know what i wanted to do after graduation so it took me a little while to decide what really interested me. If i had, had a little more guidance as a senior in high school i think it would have helped a lot.

I wish I would have had more knowledge of what I wanted to do. I am currently undeclared, and although I am getting alot of help, I wish I knew what direction I wanted to go in.

I wish I had known some people, but its ok because I've met a lot and have loved every minute!

dry campus. Its a good thing just would have been nice to know.

I wish I had known how financial aid can be a difficult thing to attain depending on your socioeconomic status and other critiques. Another thing would be how many credits it would take to attain my degree in terms of both the types of classes and years in college. Finally, I wish I had known how friendly and open the students and staff at this school were and how they are truly life savers when it comes to my higher education.

I wish I would have known more people up here however I have meet a lot of people and some are good friends so it all worked out.

How homogenious the student body is. I wish I could meet more engaging people with different backgrounds other than what is the norm for growing up in Colorado.

I wish that I had known about the music scene around campus, it's pretty much amazing. I also wish I would have known about he awesome writing center that helps drafting and rewriting all essays.

That they are so career minded and strict.

First, I wish that I had known how the big class sizes would be on a reserved, shy, hands on student like myself. I wish I had known that on such a big campus, my advisor would never know my name and subsequently would never really care about my educational success. I wish I would have known that tuition would increase over thirty percent in the course of three years on that I would qualify for latterly no aid but a loan and that the financial aid office would take no incentive to help understand you situation.
