Colorado State University - Fort Collins, Colorado

Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado is a beautiful campus. The Rocky mountains have the backdrop and Northern Colorado weather, getting any better?

Great football stadium. We're going to CSU Rams games.

Even if you're not going to school here, it's a beautiful campus to walk around on.

Lots of trees on campus so that you can take a break in the shade as well as benches, tables, etc.

I graduated in Food Science at Colorado State in 2011. The education in the classroom and in life that I received while I attended university was life changing. I met some of the best people I have had in my life and I pursued my love for nutrition and food science while I was there. My degree opened up many doors for me in my career in the brewing industry and at the time the undergrad brewing course was one of the only ones in the country. I am so glad I attended CSU and I can say without a doubt my life and career would not be the same had I not gone here. I am still a season ticket holder and while I miss the old stadium, having a beautiful new stadium on campus is pretty nice! Go Rams!

My daughter and I visited the campus as it currently ranks number 3 for Veterinary Medicine.

The staff was genuine, sincere and gracious. They setup one on one meetings to make the visit extremely personal.

They appeared to have the students best interest at heart and even supplied a full day parking pass.

The facilities appeared updated and state of the art. They were heads and shoulders above our visit at Texas aTm.

The only prevention of a five star rating was partially our fault as we were unable to get a tour of the school of medicine.

Nice job CSU women's volleyball against the Co-ed SJSU team. Can't send my daughter here, that's for sure.

I have studied in here as an international student for one year, but now I transfer to another college. The main reason is the reputation of the CSU college of business. The employment rate of international students after they graduation is so low, and I rarely find one get even an internship.

Although there are lots of nice people live here, you get almost nothing to do in this dull town besides hiking or playing with your dogs.

Colorado States University has a more rural and relaxed atmosphere than University of Colorado.

When I saw the green Aggie sign, I thought it was Starbucks. I couldn't see it because of bad weather, but I heard that you can usually see the mountains on one side of the campus. I'm very reglet to not see that nice view.

The area around the university is quite large and prosperous, though, because it is also downtown. 90% white and the average age of the students is quite young, the town inside and outside the school is very lively, but at the same time, there are no city go-goers, which is very nice.

I got the impression that it was very safe at night as well.

An update - I decided to try a graduate program online thinking most likely things have changed in the decade since I went here and then earned my first M.S. (elsewhere, ha!). I was admitted but have come to learn the advising is pretty much non-existent, very self-serve. The financial aid dept is probably the worst thing I’ve encountered since Comcast customer service. Trying to charge out of state tuition over a driver license even though I’ve been able to prove domicile here for over 4 years? Watch out!!

Everywhere you turn, it’s a “NO” - roadblocks systematically designed so you can’t quickly get things done. Eager front desk staff just waiting to deny whatever it is you need help with, instead of being supportive and nurturing like a college should be. Time is money and CSU is sucking our time away like none other.

This school needs major organizational lean initiatives enacted, it’s laughably inefficient.

Maybe it’s because their staff gets paid so poorly the staff perform to that level? Shame on CSU. I tried complaining to a baby boomer, their reply was, it’s been that way since I went there in 1974! lol.

Original review:

I had a pretty poor experience here. Not worth the costs. I went to UNC and CSU, in hindsight UNC has better systems in place to focus on success of the individual person. CSU seemed like a giant business with a revolving diploma door, as long as you can pay to pass through. While alumni to CSU I am, I unfortunately would reconsider going here if you’re in any way a non-traditional student, transfer student, mature student, or financially tight. The new stadium is nice but when I went there it was high priority over classrooms falling apart, a sad fact of Tony’s Business School.
