your interests, setting the stage for experiences and conversations that broaden your intellectual horizons. Simply put, living here will make you think – and that’s what college is all about.

You could go to college in Miami or San Diego if you’re a sun lover, but why? Fort Collins has more days of

sunshine per year (and slightly better skiing) than either of those fair-weather cities. In

fact, we even have our own beach at Horsetooth Reservoir where you can warm up after a day on the slopes (or cool off after a hike along the rim rocks).

But our awesome climate and incredible recreational opportunities aren’t the only

reasons Fort Collins is one of Money Magazine’s “Best Places to Live in

America.” And even though you’ll enjoy biking along the Poudre River,

catching live music in Old Town and sipping a latte in the 24/7

coffeehouse across the street, the amenities you’ll find here don’t

fully explain why Fort Collins is such a great college town.

This is a place where students and citizens

mingle freely and connect deeply.

CSU is the heart of Fort Collins, and a lot of

community leaders have significant ties to the University. That means you’ll have access to internship, employment and service opportunities throughout the city – and you’ll be an integral part of a community that values what you have to offer.

Get outside.Fort Collins is a great place to recreate and make connections.

Change lives.

Our students go to great lengths to support worthwhile causes.

Colorado State’s involvement in the Peace Corps can be

traced to 1961, when two CSU researchers published a study that led to the creation of the organization. More than 1,500 of our students have served as Peace Corps volunteers since that time – but you don’t have to wait until you’ve graduated to reach out to people everywhere.

Our students collected about 110,000 pounds of

food last year for Cans Around the Oval, one of the nation’s premier food drives. And although the student-run effort is pretty impressive, it’s just one cause that you can get behind on this campus. Feel like taking a dip? Help kids with special needs learn how to swim. Feel like branching out a bit more? Use your spring break to assist communities around the globe. The possibilities are endless – and infinitely rewarding.

At Colorado State, our students don’t limit their focus to attaining a set of narrowly defined personal goals. Whether they’re leading service projects or developing life-saving technologies, they view their educational experience as an opportunity to improve the quality of life for others. Those are the kinds of people you’ll connect with at CSU.

Be ready.The value of a CSU education knows no bounds.

Following a story that leads to the Pulitzer Prize. Heading to

the studio to lay down tracks with jazz great Dizzy Gillespie. Strapping into a space shuttle and realizing that the sky isn’t the limit after all.

Those kinds of success stories aren’t unique to Colorado State, but they certainly illustrate how much our students can accomplish when they take advantage of the resources we offer here. This is a university where you can take your passion and run with it – or find meaning in a field you’d

never considered before. It’s a community where you can share your ideas with people who stimulate your intellect and recognize your contributions. And it’s a place where you can put your education to work in a way that resonates with your deepest values.

By the time you graduate from CSU, you’ll be prepared to make an impact in whatever field you choose. We don’t know where your life will ultimately take you – after all, that’s up to you – but we might just help point you in the right direction.

Study with honorsLooking for an intense educational experience that puts a premium on discussion and participation? You’ll find it in the University Honors Program.

If you’re accepted into the program, you can sign up for small, seminar-style courses that fulfill many of the University’s graduation requirements. The classes touch on a variety of disciplines, but all of them will challenge you to communicate with the utmost clarity.

Heading down this path won’t be easy. Formal writing assignments and presentations are part of every seminar, and you’ll have to complete a thesis while compiling at least a 3.5 GPA to graduate as a University Honors Scholar. But by the time you leave CSU, you’ll be prepared for the nation’s top graduate schools.

“What I like most about working with students is that they inspire me,” says Bob Keller, director of the program. “They’re not just sitting back and listening to me lecture. They’re willing to engage in the discussion, and they really enjoy it. This program is writing, speaking and discussion intensive – and that opens the doors to a world-class education.”
