Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Colorado State University-Fort Collins? Why?

Tara

You get swallowed up in this school. It isn't the biggest school in the country, but it feels ginormous. There aren't a lot of clubs to get into, so it's extremely hard to find a group.

Michael

The worst thing about my school is that they are always doing construction, so it's hard to get around. There is also not enough parking!

Connor

The diversity isn't that much and could be more.

Shelby

Faculty and staff are typically very unhelpful. There are, of course, exceptions, but the majority of university employees are rude an unfriendly.

CSU-Global is not for the student looking for a traditional university experience. For a more traditional experience I recommend Colorado State University in either Pueblo or Fort Collins. CSU-Global is based on a pure online experience where everything is done online. If a student isn’t comfortable sending and receiving form, feedback, and assignments digitally, then they shouldn’t attend. All classes are considered fast paced and can become demanding. It takes great organization, dedication, and self-discipline to take all of the classes online.

There isn't much school pride. Everyone one I know myself included really love going to colorado state, but not many people attend sporting events or show up to school functions. I think this is because, we have lots of dedicated students with lots of pressure to do well in there classes and manage jobs at the same time. It makes it hard to find time to drive to the football stadium across town.

The worst thing is that some of the buildings and classrooms are in need of refurbishing. The two dorm towers and that area are so old and run down compared to other dorms; the quality of buildings and classrooms should be better for how much it costs to go to college.

The problem with CSU is how many extraneous construction projects they seem to start every single year--the library is great, but for some reason we need a $3 million 'study cube'; the dorms are fine, but they need to completely rip them down and build new ones rather than simple cosmetic fixes. And now they're talking about a new stadium on campus....As a student trying to pay for her own schooling, I get closer and closer to having to drop out every year because they won't stop raising tuition!

James

The worst thing about Colorado State University is living in the food becasue it all starts to taste the same after a while.

Lauren

The university's financial decisions in terms of how to use the private and public funds are the worst. The reason I propose this is due to their decision to hire a new atheletic director after the previous director signed a three year contract with the university. Logically, I do not see the benefit in paying a $200,000 salary twice for two people in the same office. The university comforted the students though, saying it's coming out of the private funds. Nonetheless, if I was a private contributor to the university, then I would rethink my investment.
