Colorado State University - Fort Collins

Major: Computer Engineering (This Major's Salary over time)
The Computer Science department is a sham. There are a few very good professors and some okay, but course organization is abysmal.

Construction? Year round. $500 million in construction projects over the next decade. A football stadium on campus has been vehemently opposed by the community, yet CSU and it's decision makers—Tony Frank—decided to go ahead with it anyway.

Safety is another issue. The school closes only when someone is hurt. They are REACTIVE, not proactive about safety. They are useless, and some day they will lead to someone being killed. Falling branches? We might close the campus. Oh… a girl was hit by a falling branch? By the grace of something, this girl didn't die. Tony Frank repeatedly ignores poor weather and the fact that CSU has a large population of commuter students.

Parking—do not waste time with parking. $200 for a yearly parking pass. Good luck actually finding parking. I have a ruined knee, so I tend to park as close as possible. If I cannot find parking, I use pay-to-park. I shell out a few bucks to park for a couple hours. Overstay your paid time by 5 minutes? How about a $20 ticket. Parking services is a bunch of ruthless, rude, sociopathic bastards who will not listen to complaints and threaten to double the fine if you continue to argue about it.

Have any complaints? Stick them into our shredder and we will get to them as soon as possible. You are ignored. You pay $15,000 a year or more to this institution, and you are brushed aside if you have any concerns about body and limb, mental health, or policy concerns.

Avoid this school.
