I enjoy the sense of pride the students here have.

Colorado State Universiyt created student housing for students in the College of Natural Sciences and it's been an amazing opportunity for all of us. All of the students in Laurel Village are kind and motivated and we all work together because of our similair courses. It's been the best thing to help me transition into a new school.

Colorado State University takes pride in taking care of fellow classmates and creating an overall friendly environment, and this is an aspect that is truly present. No matter if it is out on the town or in a classroom, I have yet to meet a fellow CSU student who is unwilling to help others. Also, no matter where I am on campus, people consistently are opening doors for others and are kind and friendly to whomever they may talking to.

There is kindness in everyone, and there are always people to have fun with or help get you through school or life. There is also so much that is offered that even if you did a different event every day, you would still not have covered everything by the time you graduated, so take advantage of it all!

Colorado State University's campus is breath-taking. Trees scatter the campus, artwork is on display, and many of buildings have recenently been renovated. Campus does not consist of scattered classrooms all over town, but a nice cluster of buildings all in one area. Not only is the campus absolutely beautiful, but the people are, too. The sense of community at CSU could make any person feel welcome, which is a wonderful thing to feel when attending a place that consists of 25,000 people. With such amazing people surrounding you, it is impossible to feel alone.

I enjoy almost everything about CSU. The faculty are dedicated to the students, always available to answer questions or just have a conversation. The theatre program is small, which makes for a close-knit community of students who are all invested in their education and truly love theatre.

Colorado State University is amazing for so many different reasons. The first time I stepped foot on CSU's campus I was taken away. Between the freindly smilies, beautiful mountain backdrop, up-to-date buildings and amenities, and everyone's free-spirited way of life, it was hard not to fall in love. What I love most about Colorado State University is that this school allows for people from all different backgrounds to thrive in an encouraging and engadging environment that sets them up for success. No one judges here, and there is always someone available giving away "free hugs."

I think one of the best things about Colorado State is that it is in Northern Colorado. It's within an hour of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, an hour and a half from the state capital of Denver (and therefore the zoo and aquarium), and if so desired, only about an hour from Cheyenne, Wyoming (which has a vibrant and incredible downtown). Of course, that's only if one gets bored with the nightlife and scenery of Olde Town Fort Collins.

The best thing about Colorado State Unversity is the city of Fort Collins. Fort Collins is a beautiful town filled with wonderful, kind people. There are so many one-of-kind places that make it a great college town.
Dominique
I believe that the best thing about CSU is the campus and incredible and student friendly professors and staff. I had the most resourceful Residential Advisor and my professors all wanted to get to know their students on a personal level. Fort Collins itself is a safe town and the campus is student and biker friendly. There are many job opportunities and places to explore in Fort Collins. The little but big city of Fort Collins made me feel relaxed and at ease my freshmen year.
Taylor
The best thing about CSU is the community. Most people consider themselves part of something bigger here. You generally see random acts of kindness every day and it is refreshing.
Bailey
The agricultural program is the best part of Colorado State University. The College of agriculture, and the Animal Sciences Department in particular goes out of its way to make students feel like they are a part of the "Ag Family." I even recieved a holiday card from the Animal Sciences Department. With so few 4 year universities offering this major, CSU does an exceptional job in this area.
Alexandra
The people are down to earth, friendly, and helpful, creating a respectful and vivacious atmosphere. Aside from being in a state that has sunshine for more than two hundred days out of the year, CSU is also situated amidst the great outdoors, which translates into a great, active lifestyle of the students. Finally, the entire CSU staff is there for the students, making each person's college experience invaluable and better in every way possible. It is an chance of a lifetime to attend this great university, and every student walks away knowing they have fluorished.
Kaitlyn
Everyone is so friendly here. If you look lost or confused at all somebody with ask if you need help. Most people say hi even if you have never ment or say sorry if they bump into you. One of the coolest things is if you wear clothing from other colleges nobody gives you crap about it like i thought they would. We also have really nice and respectful sports fans.
Tifani
The campus is so big, but yet they make it feel like we are all family. The campus is big and beautiful and friendly.
Nohely
The best thing if the school has to be hands down the staff. All of the staff from the adviors, professors, and even the grounds keepers are very excited in the success of the students. The campus offers a plathora of resourses to ensure the success of its students and being a first generation student this is a push I am beyond excited about.
Jessica
This might sound a bit strange, but honestly it's door holding. I've gone to 3 different schools and moved around a lot outside of that too, and never in my life have I ever seen such door holding etiquette. People always hold the door for someone walking behind them, even if they are 5-10 paces back! It's a simple gesture, but it really makes you feel like you have friends everywhere you go.
Laura
Our campus is unique because it covers so much square footage. Most campuses, like CU Boulder (yuck), are really compact. You can see most of the buildings from the dorm windows. It takes a very small amount of time to walk from point A to point B. At CSU, it takes approximately ten mintues to walk from any one of the dorms to the plaza, where most of the buildings that classes are in are located. This can be a good or bad thing. On a nice day, you can take a nice lesiurely stroll to your class and enjoy the green grass and flowering trees, but if you accidentally over sleep until five mintues before your class starts, you're going to need Lance Armstrong's agility to bike fast enough to make it to class.
Kirsten
When I first entered CSU I felt really out of place because I was an undeclared student. However, when I declared my major I loved how I felt like I was part of a family, all of whom were working toward the greater good of the whole. I loved the many opportunities that were made available to me, even though I could not participate in most of them due to working full time. If I could go back I would win the lotto so I would not have to work through school so I could participate more!
Amber
I love the size. Walking between classes, you feel like you are in a city of entirely college students, but in classes, you feel like you're in an exclusive classroom.
