⭐ Freshman Housing

All freshmen (with some exemptions) are required to live in one of our 15 residence halls. CSU offers suite style and community style living. To check out 3-D floor models, room tours, and prices see our Housing and Dining website.

Suite Style Rooms

Suite style rooms have two roommates who share a jack-and-jill style bathroom with another set of roommates. Suite style rooms can be found in Parmalee Hall, Corbett Hall, Laurel Village, Summit, Academic Village, and Braiden Hall

Community Style Rooms

Community style rooms have bathrooms located at the end of the hall that are shared by all. These bathroom are cleaned everyday! Community style rooms can be found in Westfall Hall, Durward Hall, Laurel Village, Allison Hall, Edwards Hall, Ingersoll Hall, and Newsom Hall.

Residence Assistants

The Resident Assistant (RA) is a live-in student staff position that is responsible for assisting students living in the halls both individually and in groups. The RA’s primary role is to facilitate the creation of a positive residence hall environment which supports students’ transition, academic, and personal success.

⭐ Parking and Commuting

CSU's campus does allow cars with the purchase of a parking permit. For parking pass pricing see our transportation website. Most students, however, opt to bike, board, or take public transit to get around as its much cheaper and Fort Collins is easy to get around. All CSU students ride the city bus at no extra cost, and CSU is known for its strong biking culture.

⭐ Meal Plans

All students living in residence halls on-campus are required to have a dining plan and can eat at any of our 8 dining halls. Meal plans come in 10, 14, and 21 meals per week. The food at CSU is seriously yummy, and accommodates a range of dietary restrictions from gluten or lactose free, vegetarian, vegan, kosher, and more. There is even a nutritionist for students interested in learning more about their diet.

For meal plan pricing and more dining hall info see the dining website.

Natural Resources & Sustainability (NRS) students live and learn together; network with natural resources faculty, graduate students, student leaders, and community members; and gain professional development in natural resources and sustainability leadership. Seminar course topics focus on sustainability principles connected to the environment, economics, and social equity.
