What are the academics like at Colorado State University-Fort Collins?

Charles

I feel that the advising department at CSU is second to none. I love it!

Carly

I have not created a great relationship with any of my professors so far, but I am still willing to. I am a slower learner so I like to create relationships. I think the classes are all fairly perfect. They are not too hard, nor are they too easy.

Justin

Half of my professors know my name. Some of my larger classes they dont but my calc class prof does a pretty good job. My favorite would have to be calclus. The prof is great and makes it fun. Also, my history class is alot of fun. The students are somewhat intelectual. I do have in depth conversations outside of class with fellow students.

Around campus people study. There are many people around who want to excell in their classes and show it through the act of studying. This act seen by other students will motivate the other students to excell in their classes. When you are not the only one who cares you tend to learn more effciently. Teachers are helpful here. Of course like all other colleges, there are teachers who teach because they have a degree and can not find a job. Most of the teachers I have encountered have been quite caring.

I really love the academic part of CSU because eventhough teachers don't just always remember your name because you are in their class, they certainly will if you make the effort to get to know them. And if you do make that effort it is really easy to make important connections, especially in the Business College where I take most of my classes. I feel that the atmosphere in and out of class is an intelligent one, people talk about real world issues and not just random gossip. The most unique class I have ever taken, believe it or not, is psychology 101. It was probably the funniest class where I learned the most because the professor was awesome. THe academics as a whole are definitely oriented toward helping students find their way to whatever career they desire. There are so many resources for jobs and internships, and also clubs.

I don't think that a majority of students study often enough. Class participation is helpful, but uncommon in the big lectures.

Scott

There are a lot of very good professors here at CSU, and a few not very good ones. None of my professors know me, but that's because the classes I'm in have 200 students. I'm trying to get into the business college, and the requirements to get in are pretty hard. You need a cumulative GPA of 3.0, and some other things. Overall I'd say it is a pretty good school.

Dan

It is challenging but not too difficult. The teachers are always willing to help and most the time class sizes are not too large, depending on the class.

Lauren

No my professors do not know my name. Students study as often as needed. For some class participation is always a lot but for most they don't contribute. I think CSUs academic requirements are good.
