Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

Most students don't car what they wear to class. One time a kid in my speech class went bare foot. But mostly students wear comfortable clothes unless its Rush time or something like that. And I love how relaxed everyone is because I don't ever have to worry about what i'm going to wear.

All different types of students interact. I don't see any place at CSU where someone of a minority feeling out of place.

I think that most people would feel accepted at CSU we do not really have a majority of one kind of person. I think that we have a good mix of everyone from rich to poor and also diffrent parts of the country.

I would say that CSU is a very diverse campus in terms of the student body. Here you will find not just people from all over the country, but also people from all over the world. For example my roomate is from South Korea. I would say that the student body is semi-diverse. Racially I do not believe that it is real diverse, because the vast majority of the students are caucasian, but in beliefs our body is extremely diverse. Their are fraternities, sororities, Christian groups, and basically groups involving anything that appeals to multiple people. I would say that financially most of the students are sound, but not all. For example without financial aid I would not be able to attend CSU for lack of funds, but other kid's parents are paying their way straight through. I also would say that our students are outspoken on most issues involving politics and religion, because their seems to be much controversy in that area.

diverse

I feel like CSU has a diverse group of students. All of the students I have met in classes, dorms, sorority, and on campus all have different interests and opinons that I find to be cool and rather interesting. However, CSU is not very diverse culturally. I realize that we have many different races, but not a large number. I can not say I know much about the fiancial backgrounds of our students, but in my experience I think that most are either in the middle class or they are wealthy. I don't mean extremely rich, but they can afford to go to CSU without student loans.

I think the student body is pretty diverse. True, it's mostly Caucasian, but other than that there are all kinds of people. A lot of kids from out of state come here so they can snowboard more, but they're a diverse group in themselves. I've never felt out of place, and I can't figure out anyone who would. Everyone's fairly tolerant on each others' views of life, but sometimes it can get a little out of hand when you pair some of the really stubborn, loud people we have here with controversial topics.

There are a lot of ways to get pluged into CSU, you just have to go out on a limb and find what interests you.

I have one friend who is African American, two Asain, and one of Mexican/Spanish decent. None of them seem to struggle at all as far as making friends and being social goes. I've never seen any racism in my classes. As far as dress goes, I'm laid back and like to wear sweats and a tank top, but many girls wear short skirts and high heals. Jeans are the most common with whatever top. Usually hoodies. Guys range everywhere too, although again jeans are the most common. Nobody cares how everyone else dresses unless it is something obnoxious. Money-wise students are all across the board. I had a freshman roommate who paid for absolutely everything so she had loans and a job. I now have a roommate who gets everything from her parents and instead volunteers and focuses on school work.

CSU doesn't have the most diverse campus in the country. It's a fact. However, I would say that, it's a pretty accepting place. If you don't stand around trying to make a big deal about your differences, neither will anyone else. Many of the students are from Colorado, but I've had friends from Canada, California, Minnesota, you name it...

Most students I've met are very open and accepting to all people. Most students dress casually to class, although there are some girls who trot around in stilettos and a mini skirt all day. The evangelical Christian group is pretty active on campus and usually provide afternoon entertainment in the LSC Plaza with some evangelist telling everyone they are going to go to hell if they don't get saved. During these events, about 1/5 of the students listening are members of the evangelical group and the rest are curious bystanders or active opponents. There is a good number of international students of different races, there are more females than males...There are the crazy partiers and the academic students...pretty much everyone can find a place to fit in.

i have not been able to find very many students here as CSU that I have much in common with. It has been quite a culture shock being raised in private school all my life. Also, the food at the dining halls is terrible, and the hours available for cafeteria service are not good.

CSU is a very diverse school that is well-cultured. In the majority of my classes there are students from around the world, and some dorms are even goaled at being international. In my classes all of the different cultures combine, and we learn for each other. For example in my SOC253 class there is a student from the Middle East, and he is able to bring in another perspective of the Criminal Justice system that we would of otherwise not known.

Very diverse, although most people would say we're in "vanilla country."

I think it sucks that the student body is not more diverse (racially etc.) I wish we had more of each group represented on campus to make everyone feel more belonging.

Sorority girls stick out the most at CSU when it comes to clothes and accessories. They like to put on a "fake image" and present themselves as rich and stuck up. They wear lettered shirts with their sorority name on it and carry designer handbags and purses. Athletes tend to wear their sweatsuit outfits to class or more casual clothes. Most other students dress normal with jeans and a t-shirt. Also, a lot of students wear CSU logo clothes.

This campus isn't very diverse.

I think there is good diversity among CSU's Studen Body but I would like to see more. I think most students don't try to impress many people when going to school. I would say jeans and sweats are most popular.

Most of the student body I have interacted with have the same background. I think that veterans of the armed forces and minorities would feel out of place.

Since I have been at CSU I can see that there is no discrimination on campus. Everyone is super nice to everyone else and it creates such a good learning environment. Most students when they attend class are in everyday, casual clothes. From my experience, most of the students are from Colorado. It is kind of a bummer to not know anyone when you first come out here but it forces you to make new friends!

This is a conservative town that has the most narrow-minded college I've ever been to. The reason for attending is because this is the only universtiy in colorado with my major. It's not a bad place and people are friendly there just overall dumb in not knowing what issues there are or how to research them. Liberal students feel out of place. Different types of students don't really interact at least that I've noticed. Most CSU students are from all over colorado. Finacial-overall middle class. No students are not politically aware and the saddest thing is most only watch what FOX new says instead of actually researching what is actually happening. Also instead of looking at what the canidates have actually done they only pay attention to what they say which is usually an exagerated lie. No students don't talk America is currently the stupidist industrialized country and it shows.

I think everyone at CSU is accepting and i don't think that there is any negative racial issues. Sometimes there are some crazy preachers that come to campus and denounce other peoples views. I think there is smaller number or minoritys on campus, but i also think that everyone interacts with everyone else. There is racial acceptance on both sides.

I tried a bible study 1st semster freshman year and it was horrible, they were way too forceful with their beliefs and basically told me that i had to believe this otherwise i was going to hell. After that i tried a few other bible studies and clubs and they all turned out the same way, so im done with trying to find a good bible study group. If you werent very proactive and didnt want to try to make friends or get involved, you might not like it at CSU. If a student did this they may feel out of place because you have to try to make friends and put in the effort to try new things otherwise you may find that CSU is way too big and dull. most students wear jeans, sweatshirts, sweatpants, just casual wear, i hardly see anyone dressed up, and if they are its usually because they have to. most csu students are from colorado but ive met countless people from out of state.

input

Everyone and everybody is represented on campus for better or for worse. Nothing is pushed on you but if you want to find it its there. Most of the students are from Colorado or the greater Rocky Mountain area. I would say we are a conservative campus that is shifting to being more moderate.

the student body is great. i love that they are all so open minded

The student body is awesome. Super friendly and open minded.

There is a student from every background and region at CSU. A WIDE variety of students go to CSU.

The student body is mainly white but there are pockets of diversity among the students. There is hardly any racism though, all diversity clubs are very strong on campus and let their important presence be known. Anyone is welcome at CSU, the students are typically open minded. As far as politics I would have to say we are pretty evenly distributed from left to right. There is a lot of diversity when it comes to opinions and backgrounds and most people aren't afraid to let that be known.

CSU does not have a very diverse campus. Although I feel that the students are fairly accepting and that racial, religious, and LGBT programs are accepted by the majority, minorities are not well represented (in numbers) at this university. Most minorities would probably feel slightly more separated at CSU, but I do not believe that this would be to an unbearable degree, by any means. Students from the east coast, at least the steotypical high-paced up-tight kind, may feel a little out of place as well. Colorado is much more relaxed and casual than this area. Most students wear jeans and t-shirts to class. Early classes in big lecture halls tend to have more people wearing pj's and in the business college you will see much more professional dress all week long. In the dining halls most people will sit with people from their halls or brother/sister halls. This is because these are the people you meet first and going to meals together is a good ice breaker. Usually these patterns stick for people and you end up making a great group of friends out of it. Most CSU students are from Colorado. I think that the middle class background is probably most prevalent. Our campus, as a whole, is not very politically active- because of this I can not make assumptions on how politically aware students are. I am not sure about other majors, but within the Business College there is a fair amount of discussion based around what jobs pay the best, who is making the most at their internship this summer, and about their target incomes.

CSU's student body is diverse and accepting of many walks of life, and I don't feel like it is an issue at all. I think any student would experience a welcoming atmosphere at CSU. Students wear pretty much anything to class. Some people wear their pajamas, others are dressed very professionally, and others in your normal casual attire. Most students are from Colorado, but I've met many people from out of state, including Illinois, Hawaii, Kansas, California, and several foreign exchange students from overseas. Financially, I'd say the vast majority of CSU students are middle class. Students are highly educated in today's political world and are very opinionated. As a whole, I'd say our student body is predominantly right as far as politics go.

There are a variety of different people, with different backgrounds. it is interesting to meet people that are different from yourself and finding that you have more in common with them then not.

I think it is very diverse.

Since CSU is a state university, I believe the number is about 70{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} instate. The general vibe on campus is friendly and laid back. Different groups of students seem to get along pretty well, and there are lots of different activities promoting the understanding of different races on campus and getting to know them and /or their different beliefs. Students here generally dress as what you would think of typical college attire. Just comfortable and casual. There is no need to get all done up to feel like you would fit in in class. Sweatpants and hoodies are perfectly acceptable.

I think for the most part all students feel welcome at CSU. There is a wide variety of what students wear to class. It can range from sweats, to jeans and a t-shirt to dress clothes. Most students are from Colorado, but there is a good protion of people that are from out of state.

Personally, I think CSU is a place where just about every type of person can find a little niche. I definitely did and I am a pretty shy person. There is a club for about any interest a student may have. I honestly think anyone would feel welcome at this University. It's common to see a lot different styles here at CSU...

CSU is a racially diverse campus. While it is prodominatly white, there is no seperation between races. The only kind of student that would feel out of place at csu is a very shy and predeterminist. Csu is a world or openmindedness, and it can even bring the shy out into the social life.

CSU's student body is diverse. You can be who you want and not worry about being harrassed. I feel extremely comfortable where ever I am on campus. Most students wear jeans and a sweatshirt but it depends upon the circumstances they may dress up or bundle up. I believe athletes kind of segreagate themselves from the mass population of students because it is a completely different life than most students. However, I have meet a large number of people that are very different from where I grew up. I believe most students are from a middle working class background. CSU is does not flaunt how much money it can get from people. Students are active and aware of the political things that are happening everyday. We are new to the voting scene and as a result are extremely excited about staing our opinion. I do not talk about how much I will make one day.

No specific information on student body.

I think the campus is pretty open to all, although we are lacking racial diversity. Most students generally just wear casual, comfy clothes to class. Most CSU students are from Colorado and middle class. Students are probably about average for college students being politically aware/active. Students talk about how much they'd like to earn one day.

There isn't much Diversity. Most students are average. There are always exception but people are pretty normal.

There are many groups that gather on campus to try and persuade you to join their club religion etc. CSU is deffinitly predominatly a caucassion population. A lot of CSU students are from Colorado but deffinitly not all. Pretty much average financial backgrounds are most common.

Most CSU students are from the Denver area. Though there are quite a large number from out of state.

CSU has a really chill student body. Of course each college has a different feel. There are a lot of people who are outdoorsy. The average student wears jeans and a t-shirt with tennis shoes. If you plan on wearing Prada and Gucci to school, this school is not for you...go to Boulder. The students are very friendly and open minded.

too many psychology students, come on, pick a real major

I honestly don't know who they are, and i'm unaware of the programs that they put on. But the programs that I have participated in have been really good. My favorite program thus far has been N.W.C. (Nigger, Wetback, Chink), hosted by APASS. It was an informative, but comical play addressing racial issues, and self-identity.

The students are great. I haven't really had any problems! I love the kids in my hall! we are all like family! it's great!

I have experienced a wide array of experiences pertaining to social issues including racial, religions, LGBT, socio-economics, etc.. CSU does a fine job for outreach about diversity, but only if students are willing to get involved. Our campus still needs more ethnic diversity, but I think the administration has made it a huge goal to keep students educated about underprivileged groups.

I feel that most of the population at CSU is Homogenous. Students wear whatever they feel like and whatever fits there personality better. Most CSU students are from all over colorado with upper middle class families as the majority of student backgrounds. Students are very politically aware and they are all over the board when it comes to political affiliation.

The student body I think is very diverse. Just walking across campus you see kids from all different parts of the world, with everyone intermingling with one another. The student body is the best part of CSU I think because we all work together to do thebest we can.
