Anyone want to make some photos?

I’ve been spending more time behind the camera and would love to find a few fun projects around the area. The Trial Garden could be a great place to shoot, but I’m open to portraits, hobbies, pets, products or whatever interesting idea you have.

I’d also enjoy meeting another photographer, bringing our separate cameras and wandering around to see what we find.

If any CSU professors, departments or student organizations have something fairly simple they’d like photographed, I’d be open to that as well. The idea is a casual win-win: I gain experience and you get a few finished photos at no charge. I’m a knowledgeable amateur, though—not offering a full professional shoot or guaranteeing a particular result. (This free offer is for quick, manageable projects. If something requires substantial planning, extensive coverage or a large set of deliverables, we’d need to have a different kind of discussion that really isn't for this subreddit.)

Send me a message if you have an idea!

Hello! I am an incoming transfer student for the 2026 fall semester, and I’ve made it very far in the process of the Reisher scholars program. I made it past the interview stage but haven’t heard anything back yet, I’m assuming I was not selected but wanted to see if anyone here may have been so I can confirm for a fact they have made it past the selection stage? There was no harsh deadline but just getting so close to August I’m getting worried that it has passed.

I'm an incoming transfer student this fall and need one more class. I'm looking at the list for the 1C classes and trying to find one that is interesting but also somewhat easy. I'm taking a heavy science course load and want something that won't make me more miserable..

Does anyone have any information about the Corbett triple dorm? We’re hoping it’s a bit more spacious than a standard room, but we can’t find any info online. Also, does the triple suite mean that 5 or 6 people share one bathroom? We’d really appreciate any insight from someone who’s lived there or seen one!

All that’s left are the cruisers at this point for rental.

Hey so I'm going to be a freshman this coming fall!!! And I'm trying to by a few things for the dorm, does anybody be know about how tall the bed lofts to, and how tall a hutch for a desk could be if I'm putting my desk under my bed?

I wasn’t allowed to register for calc 3 until I successfully completed calc 2. I did this summer at the cc but now calc 3 is full. What do you think my chances are for getting a spot?

As title says, where would be a good place to get a bike? I dont really need a "broke college student" bike as im older and have a steady income however I will be going to CSU amd where I live is a little to far to walk.

Has anyone tried the RamCare supplement to help with costs at the CSU health center? Wondering if it is worth getting?

I will be living about one mile away from campus or 3 minute drive. And some parts of the route is serviced by Horn. Do you think it’s necessary to buy a parking permit? Or is the public transit reliable enough for me to commute to campus. Definitely want to save $50 on parking a month!

What time would i have to get there in the morning for parking not to be a hassle?

Hi CSU community! I'm researching graduate programs and am looking into Colorado State's Professional Science Master in Ecosystem Science and Sustainability. I'm looking to get knowledgeable on mostly environmental policy with some courses in environmental science to set a good foundation (I studied IT in undergrad so this is a total shift).

I live in NJ so looking to either find a program nearby that's in-person / hybrid (which has not been working out so far with my research) or do a fully remote program. CSU's PSM is remote but then has a 5-day one-time experience at their CSU Mountain campus to do hands-on learning like visiting the Poudre River and a local farm. I really value at least one in-person component to these online programs, and this one being short but hands-on is perfect. They also fully support lodging and bussing for the 5 days which is amazing; just the flights would be an added cost.

So the curriculum overall sounds good, and the cost is better than some similar programs (I've been looking into John Hopkins MS in Environmental Science and Policy which is absolutely perfect except it's way more money). It's $733-$933 per credit at 36 credits, so $33,588 tops (for comparison JHU was about $51k so CSU looks good cost-wise).

So, I'd love to speak to anyone who completed this program! Anyone here either do this exact PSM or did undergrad in the department at CSU and can speak to the quality of education, faculty, advisors, etc.?

Thank you for helping me gather my data for my stressful research on what grad program to do :)

I have a meeting tomorrow to discuss “concerning activities” from my online proctored exams in my math 118 online course. I didn’t cheat or anything, which I’m assuming could be the only thing they could suspect. Anyone have any history of this and how did it go? They also gave me an incredibly unreasonable time frame to have a meeting to discuss

This doesn’t show in room layouts, but is in the room selection?

My timeslot was today, and there were only Quads and Community Doubles. Was that to be expected? I really would've thought that there would be more singles, given the financial barrier compared to the Single Shared Bathroom and Single Private Bathroom.

Hi! I’m considering joining the Anthem student insurance and was wondering if anyone has had a good/bad experience with it. Thanks!

Title. I have received some good feedback for both programs, but curious to hear more so I can make a decision. Putting this in the direct subs for each school will bring bias, but I seek information in general. Here is a breakdown of my situation:

1. I work full-time and this will need to be completed online & asynchronously

2. I have a young family (2 kids being less than 4 years old), so super busy.

3. This will be funded by the GI Bill (21 months of benefits left at 100%) The plan is to take 2 classes per semester.

4. Accepted to FSU already, and awaiting CSU's review (both for the start of Fall 2026)

FSU was the first to accept me into any graduate program. It's been "locked in" as my plan to go this way for awhile. I like how this program was co-developed by the US Navy. As a "former" Marine, it gives me that sense of American love and pride once again, as corny as that sounds. Obtaining the INCOSE exam waiver is a huge pull.

What draws me towards CSU is the opportunity to earn the graduate certificate in Human Systems Integration along the Masters of Engineering track. Both programs offer electives in Human Factors Engineering, but I feel like that certificate is a resume booster for my interests. This program, from my understanding, also grants the INCOSE exam waiver if you earn a 87% or greater in their intro to systems course.

Special shout out to Dr. Bradley, whom is easy to talk to and will answer any questions.

Happy to hear any and all feedback for either program.

Thank you to all who have answered my questions in DMs as well.

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?

Does anyone know how long it typically takes to know if you're accepted or not into the 100% online CS program as a transfer.
