    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.
    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?
    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.
    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.
    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.

    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.

    Am learning a lot

    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 don't live on campus, so I'm not as in the experience, though everyone I know says being here is a great experience. It's a close community both on campus and around the school, and the area is so pretty during all seasons.
    Bang for the buck

    Even with my measley scholarship and a full course load, tuition for me is only in the hundreds. It's definitely affordable for me.
    Tips for prospective students

    Bring your social skills, your ski coat, and your mind. You're going to be using all three all the time!

    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.
    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-
    Tips for prospective students

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

    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.
    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.

    I have been here for a few semesters. The classes that I have taken have been general ed., but the education I have gained this far has helped me in my summer jobs.
    Am enjoying being here

    My first year was in the dorms which is an interesting experience. There are many clubs on the campus that you can get involved in. The campus is just beautiful and friendly with the sunny days to hang out in the grass with a buddy and chat or with a book and study.
    Bang for the buck

    Of course any college is costly but the education, experiences, and friendships that comes with it is worth every cent.
    Tips for prospective students

    Scholarships!!!!!!!!!! And look at the campus and walk around when there are classes going on..and ask yourself do i see myself here and enjoying it?
    Great for these types of students

    CSU in P-town is great for any students who loves the mountains in CO and a middle size town. The school it self is growing in enrollment. There are many excellent programs offered here.

    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    Bang for the buck

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    Great for these types of students

    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.
