Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at your school accurate?

Paul

no

Ryan

No. I believe we are well educated and deserve more credit when it comes to academics. This isn't a community college.

Tyler

I don't think that is true, i must just be hanging out with the wrong crowd.

Brittany

Sure

Sean

Mostly

Lindsey

no

Brian

This stereotype is not accurate. Only a small portion of students have grown up on farms or plan to major in agriculture.

Chad

No

Kevin

There are a lot of ag kid but a lot of others as well

Gabriel

Yes

Gabriel

Yes

Kyle

Only 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}

Justin

some of them are misleading

Alex

I would say for the most part this is failry acurate. There is a mix of kids who are really laid back and friendly to super stuck up kids who think their shit dont stank

Kelsey

No, this is not even close to true. Although there are plenty of students at CSU that drink, there are plenty of other things to do around Fort Collins.

Andrew

Yea, most of the time

David

To some extent because if you look the past records of how many DUI's, noise complaints and not to mention the riots a couple of years ago.

Paige

we do have many people that come from farms throughout wyoming and colorado, but the term "redneck cowboys" usually has negative connotations referring to a dumb, or uneducated group of people...which isn't true at all.

Rachel

For the most part.

Charlea

I dont believe so.

Meagan

Not entirely. It is true that there is a great Agriculture program, but not everyone is a fanatic about it.

Becca

Obviously for some people they are. There is lots of diversity I feel like though, and most people are pretty normal and cool so even if they do fit into a stereotype, that doesn't always mean they'll be the person you think they'd be.

Chris

Once again, I feel like we are not stereotyped.

Dustin

Not at all, I actually don't know any people that are aggies or cowboys up here.

Tiffany

No i actually find that not many students do party all the time and are very friendly.

Parker

partially...

Stephanie

not at all, it is a good school, high academic standards

Vanessa

No to first part and Yes to the second part

Robin

nope

Kyle

About 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}.

Whitney

No, not at all

Alex

to a certain extent, not so much the agricultural part, I believe it is an aspect of CSU, but not dominant.

Julie

Not really... But, there are always going to be sterotypes.

Gene

Not completely

Carly

No I got into CU and yes we are an Aggie school, but we are much more than that.

Josh

I do not believe so.

Matthew

yes

Caitlin

Yes, but not to a negative extent. Everyone should be concerned with their health....this is why colorado has one of the lowest obesity ratings.

Troy

No, they just choose to dislike us because we are "rivals" in football, even though we arent in the same confrence

Melissa

No, not at all. Yes, Fort Collins is a very agricultural city outside of campus. But the university is not at all. And there is plenty to do up here just like any other university.

Emmerson

For the most part, I would say yes. I am one of the very few people I know who don't drink.

Daniel

To some extent yes. I am not entirely sure about how easy it is to be accepted into CSU as compared to CU but I would assume they are relatively similar in difficulty becaue they are both big state schools. As for the drinking problem, that is relatively true but I would think it is like that at any big college in the United States. College kids like to drink yes, but I dont think students at CSU do so anymore than at other colleges.

Lane

These stereotypes are true to an extent.

Shannon

I believe them out to be.

Torry

No, we may be behind the times, but we are not all hicks. We definitely have people who are interested in ranching and farming and horses and such, but they still aren't necessarily the stereotypical "hicks".

David

not in the least bit

Jennifer

sometimes

Tate

no really

Leah

With some exceptions, no. There are a wide variety of majors outside of veterinary medicine and only a small majority of people are actually farmers. I have only met one student that would fall into that catagory.

Emily

Not at all
