Things to Consider

Colorado State University

  • 1 MAJOR CONCERN: Large class sizes (50-150 students) in lower-division courses directly conflicts with need for teacher support and smaller classes - first two years will be challenging
  • 2 16:1 student-faculty ratio is moderate, not small - personal attention limited until junior/senior year when classes shrink to 20-35 students
  • 3 Pre-law is only advising track, not dedicated program with specialized support structure
  • 4 69% six-year graduation rate is lower than peers, suggesting some students struggle with academics or fit
  • 5 Out-of-state tuition of $33,794 is significant investment, though moderate compared to other Western schools
  • 6 With 26,000 undergrads, student must be self-advocating and proactive to access academic support resources
