    Great for these types of students

    Anyone who likes the outdoors. Outdoor Pursuits plans a lot of hiking/camping/kayaking/biking trips for anyone interested (plus, this is Colorado; you can wander off any old where on your own to bond with nature). Anyone planning on entering the medical field. CSU-P's nursing program seems to be doing especially well.
    Tips for prospective students

    Eat/read/socialize outside, weather permitting. Does wonders for one's mood. Buy your textbooks early; the used ones go fast. Take the stairs; you'll be ready to run marathons in about a week. Don't play in the fountain; they frown on that. Check out the greenhouse, even if you're not a biology major. It's awesome. If you are mathematically inclined, spare a second to examine the math building itself. Someone took the time to integrate significant ideas and patterns (for example, a Fibonacci spiral) into the construction. Argue with your peers and professors (in the philosophical sense; nobody likes a shouting match). This is, in my opinion, the best way to strengthen your own grasp of any subject. Above all, take advantage of the increased freedom college offers. Don't get lazy. Challenge yourself; excel.
    Bang for the buck

    Very affordable, as colleges go. Coloradans can attend for around $4,000 per semester (easily covered with a modest scholarship or two); non-residents, about $14,000 per semester (a significant difference, but still a lot less than at most other colleges). Considering the overall quality, I'm calling this a pretty good deal.
    Am enjoying being here

    The entire experience is immensely enjoyable. The classes are interesting and allow students plenty of freedom to explore further anything they find particularly interesting. The buildings are well-maintained. The entire campus is aesthetically pleasing; plenty of grass and trees for those who like to do their studying in the great outdoors (bonus: the local wildlife is pretty comfortable around humans; you can't help but smile when there's a squirrel at your feet begging for your lunch). And the people (professors, advisers, other students, etc.) have all been very friendly and helpful. What's not to like?
    Am learning a lot

    Learning materials are current and lessons incorporate new scientific findings as they are published. Labs are clean and equipment is in good condition. Professors are friendly and knowledgeable. Tutoring is available if desired. For freshmen, at least, effort is focused on increasing the depth, rather than breadth, of knowledge. Plenty to captivate the active mind, but classes will start out a bit slow for anyone who has taken AP courses or researched their subject of interest independently.

    CSU-Pueblo is great for students that want to work toward a career, but not be lost is the shuffle. CSU-Pueblo is small enough to know that you are here. You are not just a number.

    This is the perfect school to fulfill general requirements at the. The setting is peaceful, the teachers are fair and knowledgeable. I like the quiet setting, especially with the non-specific classes I'm taking.

    Am enjoying being here

    I enjoy being here at CSU-P. The campus is not as big as other Universities I've seen and visited and that's what I like about this university. The people are very nice here and it's easy to adjust to everyone. Living in the dorms allows me to meet knew people daily and get to know the campus more.
    Am learning a lot

    At CSU-Pueblo, the class sizes are small, which allows you to get as much help as you need in the course from the professors. In the year and a half that I've been at school here, I learned a lot about everything. This school is well equipped to help you in every subject and get the extra help. They offer tutoring for all general education courses and they offer study sessions with groups of students. The faculty here at CSU-Pueblo are here to help you succeed in your education and are willing to work with you as you're struggling.

    get used to the school site! keep close tab with your first year advisor!
    Bang for the buck

    The cost of yearly tuition for out of state students is exactly $7,060 for 12 credits a semester! It doesn't get any better than that to me. You will have a hard time trying to find a university that will beat that -for out of state-
    Will enjoy being here

    I have already met lots of pleasant ppl. Although I've never been on campus I'm excited to go and have a feeling the campus is beautiful.

    College is really good for the self motivated but here you are able to find friends in each class that may help push you to do even better. Professors are always there to help push and make you do the best that you can.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get to know your professors. It really helps to show them that you are trying, maybe go in for some help every now and then, it shows them that you really are working hard and they are able to give you the benefit of the doubt if your grade gets into a sticky situation. Also, professors are great references for the future.
    Bang for the buck

    You get a beautiful campus, fantastic teachers and a great education all for around 40 dollars per credit hour, give or take some for the department.
    Am enjoying being here

    It is very easy to slip in and feel like you belong. Professors see you as you not as a number and they are often available for help outside the class room. There are also many groups to join that work outside with the community as well with the campus. It is a great way to get to know many of the people on campus and it is fun to be involved with the community.
    Am learning a lot

    The teachers here are fantastic. Most of them really know their material and are able to teach it well. If the teacher stinks, normally you can learn from the reading material and outside help either from friends, other teachers or online sources that the teacher provides.

    Its a good deal if you're from Colorado, but if you're from out of state it's not worth it. I would rather go to a community college in a nicer city.
    Am enjoying being here

    Pueblo is not exactly classy and there is really nothing for students to do on their free time unless they play a sport. If you are looking forward to college parties, forget about it. The campus is quiet on the weekends and law enforcement is strict. If your a freshman you have to buy a meal plan in which you will eat highly unhealthy food in a high school cafeteria type setting. It feels like 13th grade.

    All I have to say is I got five thousand dollars back, and I payed for my entire first year of college with the help of CSU-P, so I'm not complaining!
    What to do for fun

    At CSUP their is always something going on. For example, in a week there will be a race on campus that anyone can do and its free for the students. And if you wanted to find things to do, all you have to do Is look at all the posters hanging on the walls, or log onto you school email, It is that easy. Not to mention there is always some sort of event taking place, like a guest speaker, a stand up comedian, you name it. I though it was cool.
    Food and Dining

    CSUP's food, I cant say I have ate at CSU more then once, because I live off campus, but the one time i did eat the food, and It was OK. When you go to the cafeteria, there are three lines each with its own kind food Mexican, and Italian, sort of like a buffet. Once your done picking your food, you grab a cup, pour yourself a drink of chocolate milk, or soda, and eat. Off the record, I have heard bad things about how clean the kitchen is.
    Dorm Life

    I have not lived in dorms yet, but I did visit them once, and lets just say it is no home sweet home. The dorms are nice, considering two of them were just built. The insides are tall, but not exactly wide, the restrooms are nice, and you get to choose your room mate. What I am trying to say is that if you want the college feeling, of having an annoying roommate, or sharing a bathroom, live in dorms, if not, DONT LIVE IN DORMS.
    Academic Rigor

    As a freshmen I would have to say CSU's academic courses are difficult, for the most part. As for myself I felt that some classes were easy and were not that difficult to get an A, but for others I found it was hard to even get a C. So I figure It is balanced between the both just like most schools.
    Tips for prospective students

    If your thinking to yourself I DONT EVER WANT TO GO THERE, I thought the same thing, so believe me it is not as bad as you think.
    In three sentences

    I could honestly say I like CSU-P without getting sick to my stomach. It is fun, and their are a lot of things to do. I'm very glad I attended the home of the Thunder Wolfs.

    First year, undeclared, small town.
    What to do for fun

    Although pueblo is not the largest town, colorado springs is a short 30 minute drive. If you do decide to stay in pueblo the school offers many exciting programs that are sure to entertain.
    Food and Dining

    The food is alright, most of the time its better to prepare your own though.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are mostly new and the rooms are very spacious. I believe that the school should offer a more interactive way to choose dorms and roomates like they do in other colorado schools (UNC, CU, etc.)
    Academic Rigor

    Classes are pretty much what you would expect. Some are hard, some are easy. Its all about how hard youre willing to push yourself.
    Tips for prospective students

    Really look into everything the school offers. Although its not very large they offer many programs that you probably wouldnt expect.

    The campus is very safe with security all over the place and safety call stations in case of violence that alert the sheriff of where help is needed on campus.
    Greek Life

    There are many fraternities and sororities to accommodate the Greek life into the academic environment.
    Clubs and Activities

    CSU has many clubs and activities that fit the diversity of it's students and their majors. Each major has it's own set of clubs to get students more involved and experienced. They also have activities like mud volleyball for anyone who wants to let out some stress and get dirty.
    Great for these types of students

    CSU is great for a broad range of students because they adapt for the needs of everyone making college a fun learning experience.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    The only tradition that might be considered unusual would have to be this new activity called slack lining where students stand on a line about three inches wide and perform tricks while balancing.
    Bang for the buck

    I personally believe that CSU is a little over priced, due to student fees that don't necessarily apply to everyone such as childcare that does not apply to me since I don't have children. Other than that CSU has a great price.
    What to do for fun

    There are so many different things to do for fun such as swimming, bike riding, lifting weights, playing basketball, Frisbee, and many other activities offered by the recreational center.
    Food and Dining

    I have only at in the cafeteria once and the food was really good. I would recommend trying the pizza.
    Dorm Life

    I don't know too much about dorm life because I still live with my parents but I hear the dorms are really nice.
    Academic Rigor

    I personally do not think that CSU Pueblo is that rigorous of a school as long as you pay attention in class and study.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are planning on going to school at CSU all you need to do is study and pay attention in class. You should also keep an eye on your paws account, account balance, and student e-mails because important information is passed through these online places.
    In three sentences

    In my short time at Colorado State University-Pueblo I have learned a lot from the classes and other students. Professors are always there to answer your questions and everyone is very friendly. There has been a few professors that don't lecture enough in class, but overall this is a very good school to attend.

    Good education for the money.
    What to do for fun

    There is a plethora of student activities on campus along with occasional activities in Pueblo itself.
    Food and Dining

    A little over-priced.
    Dorm Life

    Average. It's up to you and your choices as to whether or not you want to party all night or get your work done. Some floors are noisy but study rooms are available in the library.
    Academic Rigor

    Nothing here is harder than anywhere else. Do your best and the professors will recognize that.
    Tips for prospective students

    Study hard and don't party too much. Get involved in student organizations. Spend extra time on campus getting to know others. Remember that you are a representative of higher education, so be courteous, helpful, and show some integrity. Never, ever cheat or plagiarize.
    In three sentences

    Campus Safety

    I feel very safe on campus. If you ever do not feel safe the Pueblo Sheriffs Department has their headquarters on campus. There are emergency centers around campus that you can push a button and someone will be right there and you can call a number to be escorted to you car.
    Greek Life

    We have two sororities and two fraternities. I was in the Alpha Sigma Alpha for a little while and loved it but decided to focus on school.
    Clubs and Activities

    CSU-Pueblo has great Clubs and Activities. I am in the Medical Science Society, the President's Leadership Program, and Alpha Lambda Delta. There really is something for everyone and you can start your own club if you want something new.
    Great for these types of students

    CSU-Pueblo is good for any type of student. They have so much to offer. Everyone should be able to find their own crowd to fit in.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    During Freshman orientation every one runs to the fountain and makes a wish with a CSU-Pueblo wooden quarter. They also have a foam party every year.
    Bang for the buck

    At CSU-Pueblo you get a wonderful education for a very low tuition. I have had so many opportunities due to what a small university it is that I would not have had anywhere else.
    What to do for fun

    Their are so many clubs and athletics people can get involved. There is something to go to every night of the week. As long as you look at The T-wolf Howl (located on the bathroom doors) you will know what's going on.
    Food and Dining

    I don't eat in the cafeteria that often but their food is not that bad. The Starbucks coffee cart in the Life Science Building is awesome! Also I here the Cantina and the coffee shop in the library are really nice too.
    Dorm Life

    I don't live in the dorms but I have been in them and have not been impressed. I also have friends that hate living in the dorms. It really depends which dorm you are in though...do NOT get Belmont.
    Academic Rigor

    My program, biology, strives to provide academic rigor but I can't attest to other programs. I definitely have to study more than I did in high school but I am still doing well.
    Tips for prospective students

    Just be yourself. I was automatically accepted due to my grades and ACT score but don't get discouraged if you are not. Once you are accepted and attend here, don't be afraid to approach other students or staff, everyone is very helpful.

    I absolutely love CSU-Pueblo! The opportunities provided to the students by the staff and extra curricular activities are astounding. I am so happy I chose to attend CSU-Pueblo!

    Many activities at the campus are free to students! My friends and I enjoyed going to the comedy shows on Wednesdays. There are also movie nights and a disc golf course on campus.

    Dorm Life

    I never lived in the dorms, so I do not know how it is thus the three-star rating.

    Campus Safety

    A few years ago people wrote on a black board threatening to bomb the school late at night. The FBI got involved only to find out it was a joke. A cop drives around occasionally but the students are definitely not briefed on how to handle an emergency. We do have an emergency text service for people with cell phones.
    Greek Life

    The Greeks seemed to be very outspoken in this campus community.
    Clubs and Activities

    This college seems to do average in this category. There is a club/organization for every major along with the typical Sororities. I have not seen any unique clubs specific to this campus.
    Great for these types of students

    It is great for students who live in or near Pueblo. Otherwise I would tell you not to waste your money unless you have a scholarship.
    Bang for the buck

    This semester it is going to cost me over $3000 in tuition alone for 12 credit hours. I am no financial expert but that just does not seem right.
    What to do for fun

    There are always activities going on around campus. They range from cultural movies to guest speakers to sports activities. Going to football game is the biggest event on campus. CSU-Pueblo has had a great record the past couple of years.
    Food and Dining

    The food is really expensive. Last semester is was a $1.79 for bottle of water. You can get a bottle of water for $1-1.25 most places. $5 at one of the carts or dining places on campus is typically just enough to get you a container of fruit and maybe a drink. Coffee typically is at least $3. Compared to outside sources of food, I give this a low rating.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are way too expensive in my opinion so I live off campus.
    Academic Rigor

    The courses in my opinion take time and dedication to complete. It is easy to pass with a C but to get the grades you need for graduate school then you will have to put a lot of time and effort into the academics.
    Tips for prospective students

    One tip would be to not take more classes you can handle. Half of my freshmen class dropped out by the end of the semester because most of them did not understand the concept of going to class and doing the work. If it overwhelms you, then withdraw or drop the course before the deadline. Always show up at least 10 minutes early for the bigger classes like Human Anatomy and Physiology. Don't be afraid to ask questions or call in to any of the departments. Sometime mistakes happen like in Financial Aid.
    In three sentences

    Colorado State University-Pueblo has a very diverse group of students ranging in age, ethnicity, and cultures. Tutoring along with other campus resources are very obtainable to students. Most of the class sizes seem to demonstrate a more one on one relationship with the instructors.

As well as being able to contact professors whenever you need to really get the grasp on the material. They are always willing to help, which makes the money you are spending to take their class worth it.
    What to do for fun

    Seeing that Colorado State University- Pueblo is in such an outdoors state, there are always outdoor activities going on. The campus has a great Frisbee Golf Course set up. And by joining different groups on campus you can experience just about anything here. There is an inviting group for ever hobby on campus.
    Food and Dining

    The food on campus is wonderful. Whether looking for a snack, some coffee, or a full meal there are multiple locations on campus that can accommodate what you are looking for.
    Dorm Life

    While I haven't lived on campus at CSU-P, I have been in the dorm facilities. All are welcoming and are a true home away from home. The dorm experience at any school can be an interesting, but here they really engage with student activities to create a positive community.
    Academic Rigor

    The professors do expect a lot out of their students and will challenge your thought process in many different ways. But the work load is never unbearable and help is always available to help students succeed.

    Campus Safety

    Paths from the academic buildings to the dorms and to Wolf Village (on campus apartments) are very well lit and have emergency alarms in case something happens and a student needs assistance as soon as possible. The campus is very well lit and the sheriff's department is located right on campus and deputies walk around campus and are easy access in case of an emergency.
    Clubs and Activities

    Our band is very entertaining, our football team made it to the NCAA D-2 championships during the 2011 season, the drama and art department is also excellent and well known throughout our town.
    Great for these types of students

    Every kind of student is welcomed at Colorado State University Pueblo, whether you are a band geek, business major, pre med major, or athletes. There is literally something for everyone to enjoy.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    At the beginning and end of each semester, the university holds a foam dance party in front of one of the dorms where a big pool is filled up with foam and music is playing and it is just one big fun dance party. Also, at the beginning of the semesters the student activities organization has a night where the students run around campus around midnight with chalk and draw whatever they want and in the morning it's one big easel.
    Bang for the buck

    Colorado State University Pueblo is located in a small town which is pretty safe for the most part. There is always something to do on campus whether it is going to a football game or visiting the Recreation center for a game of basketball or for a run.
    What to do for fun

    Football games and other sports events, the campus also has plenty of things to do such as movie nights, rock climbing, and the outdoor pursuits club goes on some pretty fun adventures in the mountains and throughout Colorado.
    Food and Dining

    The main cafeteria has decent food, the pizza is the best. But downstairs of the Occiato building we just got an Einstein's Bagel company and it is my pit stop before my morning classes.
    Dorm Life

    I do not or have not lived in the dorms but my visits to see my friends who do live there have been outstanding. The three new dorms (Crestone, Culebra, and Greenhorn) are clean and have everything that is needed for a successful student.
    Academic Rigor

    The academics provided at CSUP are outstanding and since the campus isn't really big, professors give you one on one attention and office hours are made sure to be known the first day of class.
    Tips for prospective students

    College is much different than high school, you are on your own and are responsible for your own actions. Make sure to get your homework done on time and study HARD in order to keep your grades up. Also, do not be afraid to ask professors or assistants for help, that's what they are there for.
    In three sentences

    I give Colorado State University Pueblo a rating of five stars. The college is not only within a great town but there are so many activities that the college provides for students. Also, because of the small class size, the professors give extra attention to the students and help them one on one.

    CSU-P has a club for just about anything. If they don't have the club you are looking for, they will make it.

    The rec center provides trips almost every weekend to go kayaking, fishing, biking, rock climbing and more. The first week in school I biked down pikes peak. That was a rush and a ton of fun.

    After PT in the mornings I always attend breakfast at the cafeteria and I have nothing bad to say about the food there. Everything you could think of for breakfast they have it including fresh fruit, bagels, pancakes, waffles, bacon, french toast... you get the picture. Everything is delicious.
    Dorm Life

    Unfortunately I do not live in the dorms, but I do have some friends that do. From their responses about them, I hear that they enjoy being in a housing area that they can meet friends easily. They talk about all the activities that the dorms host and make me wish I was living there.
    Academic Rigor

    Our business program I hear is pretty efficient and so is the psychology program here at CSU-P. I am motivated in the biology program that I am in because of the competitiveness and the fact that the instructors clearly explain the material so that you will excel in the class.
    Tips for prospective students

    Tips that I would give prospective students would be to use your resources on campus. The librarians help you with research papers by finding the sources that relate to your topic most. The tutoring center can help you with any problem you may have with math, chemistry, biology, or anything. The writing center helps you go over your papers sentence by sentence to help perfect your writing techniques.

    Almost every type of major, emphasis, or fad is recognized at CSU-Pueblo. Since it is a little smaller than other universities, more clubs and activities can be offered.

It is inexpensive and has good quality. This is all not even to mention the time and gas you save from driving on and off campus.
    Dorm Life

    I personally do not live on campus, but I hear good things about living in the dorms. I know there are different options for living on campus which allows more students to have housing options. Allowing them to experience life in the classroom and outside the classroom is great.
    Academic Rigor

    Depending on the subject and professor each student has different chances to click with the material so they may experience it differently from others, but if each student keeps an open mind about the course then they can be challenged and enjoy the work.

    Go to class! Take every opportunity seriously! And meet new people!

    In three sentences

    If i had to rate CSU-Pueblo i would have to give it four out of five stars, one reason being that this school is not as expensive as other colleges, but it gives you the knowledge you need to move forward in life.. I believe that CSU-Pueblo is a very good school academically wise, the teachers are available for one on one time and they are there to help us. The only reason i did not say five out of five is because the campus is not as nice as other schools, but they make up for it by the teachers they have.

    I have not been deep enough into my major where I have had rigorous classes, however I have learned a great bit due to the small class sizes and interaction of student-to-teacher. Attendance truly is half the battle. Stay vocal, and you wont have a problem with excelling in classes.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would advise to live on campus, there is not any other experiences like it. Stay involved in sports teams, as CSUP provides many intramural and club sports. Have an idea of what you would like to do, and the counselors will take it from there.
    In three sentences

    The University I attend has guided me in a direction of truly finding out who I am. Though i have had to overcome more struggles than most during the time I have spent here, CSUP has helped tremendously. The only flaw is the city's resources are far from the campus.
