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.
