Hello! I have most of my classes planned out for my degree, but I will be short on a few credits and as such need to make up some over the summer to get my degree. I'm hoping for some recommendations on easy/easier classes online in summer that you've taken. I'm open to most subjects, doesn't have to involve/relate to my major. Ideally something where I won't have to write a ton. Thank you!
So unfortunately before I left for winter break I left a bong in my dorm which was found and reported to the CSUPD. I have a hearing scheduled next thursday february 6th. Now i’m worried what the punishments are. Also how will this effect me in the future? I was maybe planning on transferring so will it effect that? Just need some insight for the future anyone who has been in a similar situation please let me know.
So I'm a freshman who basically relies on the dining halls to eat, but find it SO difficult to find healthy options. It's also really difficult to track calories/portions because the online system isn't the greatest...
Is there any way to help? Or any dining hall "tricks" to eating healthy that aren't just eating salads from the salad bar? Thank you!!
When looking online it indicates that CSU has both a D1 and a D2 Hockey team. However, when I look to buy tickets, I don't see an option to do so. How does hockey work at CSU and do we have a student section at the games?
What is up with the parking situation this semester? Been arriving 30 minutes early to campus for my 11 am class and am still late with how long it takes me to find a single open parking spot anywhere on campus. Has anyone else been experiencing this? This is my 6th semester here and I've never had anywhere close to thing much trouble finding places to park.At this point I'll be contacting parking services and trying to get a refund for my Z pass because why am I paying for open spots that don't even exist when I need to park. Anyone have any good suggestions for alternative parking within a mile or two of campus? I live in Loveland so walking/biking to class unfortunately is not at all feasible. Help
my son, who lives off campus, would like to get meals on campus occasionally.
i can’t figure out the difference between getting a meal plan or ramcash.
do both work there? and what’s the difference?
the website is confusing and doesn’t explain what a meal costs with ramcash, which makes me wonder if i can be used in regular dining halls. and if so, why get a meal plan?
Hello! During the inspection over break, all of my weed was found and taken from my dorm. I have a hearing in 2 days about this. Will I be evicted, or just have to go to a class or something? I never smoked in my room or anything.
i don’t think i’ll be able to afford continuing my studies unless i find a scholarship. i already applied to fafsa and am applying for csusa. What clubs offer good scholarships? Thanks
Anyone have any experience with switching from out of state to instate tuition/residency? We as a family are considering moving to CO, but aren’t sure how that impacts tuition rates (i.e. would we be eligible for instate tuition after attending for a year on out of state?)
From reading the website it seems like the 12 month rule would mean no instate, but I’m unsure if this would still apply if CO became state of residence for both student & parents?
Also, anyone know if this would impact residence classification for veterinary school? (if we ended up paying as out of state for undergrad, could we become instate for vet school?)
hello! i was just admitted to CSU as an animal science major! i plan on being a veterinarian, and i know that CSU has a great vet program. i’m from texas, so im a bit nervous leaving home. are there any tips to negate home sickness or ways to prepare for such a big change?
minor edit/update: i just received the green and gold scholarship! i was iffy of going because of it being so far from home/out of stage tuition is so expensive, but i think this is a sign to definitely go!
Hey guys just received my admission decision for fall 2025 and i got accepted to Ms civil and environmental programs. But offer letter says department is not considering me for funding! I am looking for assistantship or other funding as CSU is expected to be expensive. Do I still qualify?
Hi all, I am an incoming senior zoology student (2nd bach) and was wondering what's the difference between the two math courses? I have an engineering degree and have taken 4 years of I suppose the equivalent being calc for engineers. I just want a better grade in my calc so don't mind starting over. Thanks.
Freshmen here. I have seen movies where they have lecture halls that are huge and go up into the ceiling practically. Does anyone know where the biggest lecture hall on campus is? I’d really like to see it!!!! Thank you!
Hey guys! I'm a freshman from University of Northern Colorado. I'm thinking about transferring to CSU next year. I'm not sure I'm a fan of how little community UNC has, how it feels a bit like high school with the small class sizes, and how Greeley offers almost nothing to do.
I was wondering if anyone had any perspective on if a switch is a good idea. Has anyone here been to both schools? Even if you haven't, do you think CSU may have more of what I'm looking for?
To be even more specific, I am a psychology major and plan on grad school. Does anyone know how the psych program is and how it might compare?
I am totally happy to clarify anything if needed!
How difficult is it to get ESA approval for cats? My wife and I both have clinically diagnosed depression and anxiety, so there's legitimacy to the claim, but we have two cats and only I am a student.
Hey! I'm and incoming freshman next year and I have a dormmate but we also have a lot of other people who wanna be near us. Is it possible to choose who you share a bathroom with in a suite style?
I am 24 and coming back to school after time away working and traveling. Everyone around me seems so young. How can I find people my own age?
Trying to meet other students living in the cottages. Any suggestions?
Hey y’all I was wondering what dorms are all around the best, please let me know!
HS senior and potential incoming out of state freshman looking to major in compsci. after scholarships, CSU ends up being negligibly more expensive than an in-state school. The in-state school is a pretty good engineering only school (seems like its CS program is better than CSU's... very comparable to Mines, but with much less brand recognition), but it's in the plains of the midwest with absolutely nothing for entertainment in a 1hr radius, and the campus is incredibly small and dated. that said, it has a fantastic job fair with 600+ engineering and tech firms visiting every year. Can anyone speak to the quality of the CS dept at CSU, and how much that really matters when looking for a job in software dev? So many people online say where you get your undergrad doesn't matter... but so many other people are saying otherwise. I'm definitely capable of self-learning and taking the initiative to make some personal projects, which I'd hope might "make up" for a lower-ranked CS program. CS really is my passion, and I don't want my desire to live in fort collins to get in the way of job prospects later on. Thoughts?
I have a class in Stadium 1204 tomorrow and I have never been to that building. I tried looking it up on the campus map and was a bit confused. Are there really classrooms in the Stadium, or is it another building?
Hey! Is anyone here an online only student? This is my first semester, I’m 25 from DFW Texas (I’m from Texas but no I do not support the orange man) and I’m a journalism major! I’d love to connect with other students in similar positions and make a group me! Drop a comment and if there’s enough interest I’ll message everyone/make a another post with the link.
I’m a junior and I plan on applying for music ed at csu does anybody have any information on the program or like personal experiences any help is appreciated thanks!
I just got my acceptance letter last night. My major is Anthropology if that matters. I am extremely unexperienced when it comes to college stuff beyond community college so general advice is also appreciated.
If I accept admission, my partner (28M) and I (30F) will be moving there this summer if I don't defer. What are rental options like for our situation? Would you recommend an apartment, townhouse/condo, or an entire home? We currently have pets. We prefer no roommate if possible.
Also what is employment like out there? My partner will need a job there when we move if he can't get WFH.
I'm trying to see if our expectations are realistic or not. Thanks in advance!
Can someone tell me if Aggie Village Lodgepole is listed under apartment applications or residence hall applications on the housing portal? Trying to move in mid year from a dorm but cannot see the hall application choices because I already applied once at the beginning of the year.
I’ll be moving into westfall, and I understand we’re supposed to arrive sometime on the 16th but there’s no real further instruction on the emails, do we have to show up in specific spots at a specific time? or is it just a free for all?
Hey- does anyone know why the bookstore takes forever or rarely posts the art supply kids on the website? Or anyone know what the kits are for 160 and 170? I just want to see what's in them and buy the materials myself.
