Colorado State University wouldn’t be the same without Fort Collins, a perfectly mid-sized city full of art, music, delectable eats, and delightful people. Just an hour away from Denver, Fort Collins is seated at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and awash with sunshine. We're mere minutes away from world-class skiing and hiking and we're proud to have more than 30 venues for entertainment right here in town. Hop on two wheels and cruise our 300+ miles of bike trails, or take a short jaunt to Horsetooth Reservoir or Poudre Canyon to hike, swim, fish, raft, and more. Amazing jobs? Yeah, we’ve got those, too. Many students stick around after graduation with jobs in engineering, the arts, and beyond. Ready to explore?
