Not trying to sound mushy or anything, but CSU has really begun to feel like home. It has plenty of ways to get involved, tons of interesting (or hilariously frightening) people on the plaza, and the campus really is pretty despite what some people say. Most of my teachers go out of their way to help students and their material may be challenging, but it most definitely prepares for future classes. Some things I don't like about it are the boys who haven't grown up yet, silly girls wearing skirts when it's snowing, and annoying drunk people. But try to find a university that doesn't have these things. What bothers me the most are those stupid geese that migrate here in the winter so we walk on goose feces for three months. Tip: Move off campus as soon as you can to avoid the avian invasion. My favorite part of CSU is the area surrounding it. Fort Collins might in fact be the best place to live in the country. Outdoor activities, restaurants, coffee, great churches, college sports, etc... And the city is kept up really well. Not much to dislike. | Surrounding City: A+, Collaboration/Competitive: C |  | | |

One piece of advice I wish I had gotten before transferring to CSU:
You will love this school if you are white. It seems this campus is very open to white kids from all walks of life.
But it's an open fact CSU has difficulty recruiting and maintaining a racially diverse student body. It doesn't help that Fort Collins has a population that is over 90% white. Or that it's northern, neighboring town, Laporte, is home to a major White Supremacist church.
I've found that many of the students on campus are from small towns or suburban backgrounds where the demographics are mostly the same as Fort Collins. It shows. It seems to take my classmates a longer time to "warm up" to me than it does for them to instantly befriend the other white kids sitting around me in lecture halls.
Then there are the kids who are obsessed with "social justice" and race and whatnot. Since they also tend to be from non-diverse backgrounds, it's like the blind leading the blind up here. They tend to demonstrate the same subtle biases and preferences as everyone else. Though I've had a few enjoyable classes and good professors, I feel short- changed by this unspoken barrier between myself, the majority of my classmates and the town. If I had to do it all over again, I would have chosen to go to Metro or UCD, since I've been deprived of all the social advantages of "going away" for college. If you're an "activist" type and enjoy butting heads with people, you might like it here- there's plenty of work to do. If you just want to enjoy your college days and mingle with a diverse crowd, without constantly feeling the need to prove you belong, go to Metro or UCD. Those schools probably even have better academics than CSU. | Faculty Accessibility: A+, Social Life: F |  | | |

| Not so bright | I came to UCD for graduate school in architecture. This is a very good school for a graduate student and the architecture program here is top notch. I'm confident that this school will prepare you for a successful professional career in architecture. Professors are very knowledgeable and are happy to help. | Education Quality: A+, Campus Aesthetics: B |  | | |

| Quite Bright | 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). | Useful Schoolwork: A-, Innovation: D+ |  | | |
