Colorado State University - Fort Collins Reviews

"CSU is the only program that I have found that allows me to achievey dream graduate degree while continuing a full time job to pay the bills and most importantly, continuing to be an engaged, available and loving mother. The advisors have been there every step of the way, and the professors are understanding and supportive."

"I loved college, as a first generation student, I did feel lost at first though. Afraid to ask for help, disappointed in my advisers who hated being advisers, unsure about which building I should even start in. Clubs and volunteer activities weren't an option for me because I worked 3 part time jobs, so when I wasn't in class, I was at work. This made friend making difficult because I never had free time to hang out- if I did- I was asleep like the dead. I had to push had to make lasting social connections, and the brief handy ones just for the semester. (If I got sick or had a work/family emergency semester friends will loan you notes but don't rely solely on them!). Even if it looks like everyone knows what they're doing, I can promise you, they don't. Don't worry about them, worry about yourself instead. What makes you happy? not rich, not even financially comfortable because that's not a option to a lot of young people. Follow that thing. Even if it's a slight glimmer in the darkness of your interest, there your contentment and joy lies.Read Less"

"Colorado State University is a great school with a beautiful campus, but I was not impressed with a few aspects of the school of social work. Even though the instructors/professors were great, the administration lacked communication and stability which affected my experience with the program."

"Pros - content of program, classes offered, faculty, campus, location Cons - schedule/flexibility for part time students"

"I am grateful that my program offers an excellent structure for getting my MSW and being a working professional."
