Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado is a beautiful campus. The Rocky mountains have the backdrop and Northern Colorado weather, getting any better?Great football stadium. We're going to CSU Rams games.Even if you're not going to school here, it's a beautiful campus to walk around on.Lots of trees on campus so that you can take a break in the shade as well as benches, tables, etc.
I'm only putting this dislike due to lack of communication from the admissions or enrollment department. I had emailed them to discuss possibly going to school here. My last email informed me that she only took calls till 3:30pm. I scheduled my bext one on a Friday at appointment time that I could chose. No call. I followed up with an email due to possible miscommunication. No response. Unhappy with this outcome.
I graduated in Food Science at Colorado State in 2011. The education in the classroom and in life that I received while I attended university was life changing. I met some of the best people I have had in my life and I pursued my love for nutrition and food science while I was there. My degree opened up many doors for me in my career in the brewing industry and at the time the undergrad brewing course was one of the only ones in the country. I am so glad I attended CSU and I can say without a doubt my life and career would not be the same had I not gone here. I am still a season ticket holder and while I miss the old stadium, having a beautiful new stadium on campus is pretty nice! Go Rams!

Love the town and it’s a friendly place. The only problems is that they don’t have enough parking spots. The staff have lots of parking but students like me have to circle the parking lot multiple times to find a spot to park especially during peak hours and I usually get late to classes a lot because of it. Also, the buildings are old and outdated. I’ve been to Arizona state and their building are beautiful and modern.
CSU is a great school that wastes a lot of money on things students don't care about, or services that are valuable but poorly managed and become money burning machines, which is a little disheartening considering the high attendance price.Professors at CSU are rarely 'good'. Instead, we get both ends of the extreme where you either get a great professor who inspires you in your field, or you get a horrible one that is so reluctant to provide value that you'd assume they have been held there against their will and forced to teach. There's a lot of good in this university, but with the vast expanse of services they offer, CSU struggles to keep each of their many systems efficient. Overall I found this university a massively positive experience, and because I care about it and their community, I wish to provide criticism from my cell phone.
