Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

There is a whole slew of people here from all races and backgrounds. I don't think there's anyone that wouldn't be able to find a place here. There are political advocaists, religious groups of all sorts, Asians, Hispanics, white people, black people, jocks, nerds, band geeks, pretty much every social clique ever created exists on this campus. While most students are from Colorado, there is still a fair share of people from all over the country, and even the world. These groups don't really interact a whole lot. People are good about finding their group members and sticking with them, but they all exist nonetheless.

CSU is definitely a diverse school. There is a club for almost every activity you can think of and if there's not a club, you can always start your own. There's plenty of clubs/orgs that people will fit into.

Everyone under the sun! From sorority girls to hippie stoners CSU has everything. Most of the campus is composed of "average" Colorado students, attending with lots of friends from high school. We also have a good amount of international students, at least a few in each class.

The students are totally diverse. I have met students from all types of backgrounds and interests. People wear all different kinds of clothes and participate in all types of activities. Most students are from Colorado, but it is not uncommon to meet people from out of state or even out of the country!

The majority of my classmates were middleclass white students who were taking out some student loans. Most were motivated to at least earn a degree but not put forth the effort to be the best in their degree. I watched many of them party (drink and or drugs) because they believed they were old enough to handle it, but the reality was no one was there to tell them they were wasting their time. There were a few who were motivated and knew what they wanted. They successfully completed grad school and found great carreers right after graduating.

The students here all seem to be very down to earth and responsible with their school work. They dress comfortably and nobody seems to put themselves on a higher pedestal than everyone else. Fellow students are always willing to have a friendly conversation while waiting in a line for something or to help a classmate who is struggling with a concept learned in class. I haven't seen anyone be bullied or discriminated against during my time at CSU. Most students are very passionate about what they're studying and make connections with others that are in their classes. Study groups and clubs are very common.

There is a place for everyone on campus. There are clubs and organizations available for everyone from any background with any interests. I'm part of greek life and a member of Sigma Alpha professional sorority which a sorority for young women from agriculture backgrounds. There are many different types of sororities and fraternities for anyone interested in going greek. Most people coming onto a big campus are nervous and just wanting to meet people. It's the same for everyone. Most people are super friendly and will give advice or help or just have a conversation if that's what you need.

There is a fair amount of diversity at CSU. There is a large portion of international students who are here anywhere from a semester to all four years. It is interesting learning about their life style in their country to discover how it differs from ours here. There are also a lot of different religious beliefs on campus. Bible study groups are big and there are several different groups you can get involved in relating to your religious beliefs. There is something for everybody at CSU. As a large school there are bound to be another group of students who are similar to you. I honestly do not think anybody would feel out of place. You can tell this fact by just walking around. There are girls who wear sweatpants and sweatshirts to class and then there are girls who dress up to go to class along with everything in between. Most of the students are from Colorado, however there is a large portion of out of state students as well. Personally I am from upstate New York and I know people from several other states besides Colorado. We are also a financially diverse school. I know people who are very wealthy and drive nice cars, have a lot of designer clothing and own a lot of other expensive items. There are also people who are just barely getting by and live very modestly and there is everything in between.

Students at CSU are very welcoming and friendly. I never ran into any "snobby" people or racist people during my time there. People are more than willing to embrace different cultures and lifestyles on campus, and there are plenty of support groups as well. The majority of students are white, but there is a growing number of Hispanic, African, and Asian students each year.

I wish there was more diversity at CSU. I'm from the city and CSU is a bit one sided. I think we are making an effort to get more minority students to come to CSU, but I hope that we try even harder. Socio-economically we are pretty diverse. Most of the time athletes and minority students stick together but for the most part everyone is friendly and it isn't hard to talk to someone. I'm also from a very liberal city and being at CSU was a bit of a culture shock in that manner. There are a lot of christians and conservatives on campus and it is noticeable! But not overbearing. It's interesting to be around people of different opinions and hear there side. I have certainly learned a lot from my peers!
