I’m going into my senior year and trying to figure out some college things ahead of time. I really liked the idea of CSU and have friends there that absolutely love it but i want a more specific view/opinion. About a month ago I took a tour of the biology/zoology program and it was… underwhelming. The tour made the zoology program feel tiny, which I know isn’t true considering just how good it is. I want to know from current or recent students in the zoology program what’s it actually like? class sizes? is there good field experience or mostly lectures? favorite things? things you don’t like or wish were different? Literally any information on it is super helpful. I should also specify i’m not interested in zoology for veterinary reasons, i want to major in it to mostly hopefully train animals, or hands on rehabilitation. Things like working in a Zoo/aquarium, shelter, training working dogs, rehabilitating and releasing animals with medical problems, relocation, etc. I’ll also gladly take any info/opinions on campus and student life. I’m a colorado native so weather or other state specific things aren’t a big concern for me as I love it here. Thanks for taking the time!

First-year parent who went to orientation this week. One presentation recommended we book lodging for Homecoming, first weekend in October. Holy hell, hotel and STR rates are through the roof!

Any recommendations on where to stay for a couple nights, preferably less that $300-400/night?

So I got a room allotted for this year (August 2026 - May 2027) in Aggie Village Cottonwood. However, as far as I know, entering the premise right now is not possible, so I can't check how they look. There are 3D renderings but I don't know how accurate they are. Has anyone lived in either Aggie Village Cottonwood or Walnut or Lodgepole? How does the interior look, esp. the bedrooms? I took the 3 bedroom apartment.

Does anyone have pictures they can share here?

Trying to gage others experiences.. as less than 50% of ungrads at CSU graduate in 4 years.

Hello everyone,
I’m a new Ram and I’m excited to be joining CSU soon! I’m transferring from another U.S. university and have already sent my official transcript through Parchment.
Could anyone let me know whether I still need to submit a final official transcript? I’ve received some conflicting information and would really appreciate any guidance.
Thank you!
