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.

⭐ Residential Learning Communities

Residential learning communities (RLCs) are programs organized to introduce and integrate academic and social learning in residence halls. They include Arts and Creative Expression, Amplify: College of Natural Sciences, Engineering, Global Village, Health and Exercise Science, Honors, Key Communities, Learning Through Dialogue, Natural Resources and Sustainability, and Outdoor Leadership.
