Built on the excellence of Colorado State University.
ADVENTURE AWAITS
Welcome to Colorado.
Squeeze in some much-deserved rest, relaxation and adventure in between lectures and lab work. Nestled at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, the Fort Collins area has something for everyone. Hike an endless myriad of trails. Explore a restaurant scene that will never leave you hungry (or thirsty). Visit Rocky Mountain National Park. Or if you time your visit right, spend a day on one of our many, many slopes.
