I usually only have two classes a semester I need to actually pay any attention to and the others are so easy i can get away with putting in less than half the effort while still pulling the same grades (b+ to a's).

This place is harder than I thought it would be. Some of the classes are too big and the professors are too busy to help but that's what college is all about. The students are pretty laid back; pretty girls- much better looking than back in my home state (Texas). But the tuition is way high and I noticed their not too close to a beach. Most of the students seem genuinely happy to be here and some of them seem pretty surprised that they are (they're the ones who are really having a hard time in the classes) so I'm not sure they'll be around next year, so here's my advice. Enjoy it while you can. Lots of clubs and things to do in town. Maybe I won't feel that way after a few years but for now it's all new and I'm not missing much of anything except my black lab.

I really love it here. My major (Chemical Engineering) has excellent professors and they really do try to keep you engaged. They're available when you need help. I am in the Honors program, and that's a big advantage too; nice dorm and give you a scholarship to participate. The football team sucks. The basketball team also sucks. They're further away from the ski resorts than CU is, but the ski club does NOT suck. Good mix of students. The girls are pretty and they wear boots and mini skirts at the same time which is wierd and must be cold for them, but it gives us something to make fun of (besides the football team). All in all, I'm a lot happier here than my friends are who went to Boulder. I see a lot of them anyway, since they come up here to visit and whine about how they should have come here instead. I'd probably feel very differently about this place if I were paying in state tuition, though. For a Colorado resident, this is a bargain. I guess your academic experience depends on the major. This is a great place for science and engineering (except for chemistry which sucks). Not so good for liberal arts. The business college thinks it's better than it really is. But Natural Resources and Ag have outstanding programs. You could do a lot worse. Like maybe go to Boulder.

Well I was a transfer student for Fall 2009 and this school was my dream school. I've always wanted to live in Colorado and the area of Fort Collins. Once I started school that semester I knew it would be more difficult from my previous college but I didn't imagine the class averages for exams would be in the low 60% range. I studied for hours for my major which is mechanical engineering and I still recieved bad grades. My fellow students were doing the same and getting the same results. I decided to drop out of the school because it seemed like I was just a pay check to CSU. I just felt that paying $11,000 a semester for crappy teaching was stupid. Oh by the way, they didn't give me any of that money back. My counselor at the time, told me that many people drop out of this school. Which makes me wonder if they are even trying to improve themselves.
