Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

Students need to study 2-3 hours for every hour of class time!

Before I came to this school, I took advantage of every opportunity I had to learn about the procedures and available services. I was very knowledgable about the campus before I came.

Before coming to this school, I wish I would have known more about financial aid. I would much rather have more debt in student loans than credit cards...which is how my situation is shaping up right now (more credit card debt, hardly any student loan debt).

I wish I had known how great the skiing was before I came.

I wish I would have known to join more organizations right away. As a transfer student, that would have been a great way to integrate into the community more quickly.

I wish I had known more about the clubs and orgs. available.

I really wish that i would have known more about what major i was interested in. It makes life a lot easier when you generally know what field you want to study coming into the college experience. That way you don't waste any time with classes that aren't necessary.

I wish I had known how easy it is to make friends if you just put yourself out there, and how much people do want to help you. I would have kept my door open more in the residence halls, and gone to more events.

wish that i knew how amazing old town and the atmosphere was. you have to visit. i transferred and wish i found it 2 1/2 years earlier

I wish I would have known how accepting the students and staff are at CSU. At first I was really skeptical of going to a university because I was afraid that I wouldn't fit in or be accepted but I learned that all that stress got me no where. It is the complete opposite from that and I am incredibly happy to be surrounded by such great people!
