Schedule a Group Campus Visit
Visiting the CSU Fort Collins campus gives students the chance to experience college life firsthand and see themselves as part of the Ram family. We can “personalize” a group campus visit by collaborating with campus partners to welcome students and schedule tailored tours highlighting programs relevant to student interests, showcase extra- and co-curricular activities, connect students with admissions and financial aid staff, and arrange meetings with college professors. These aren’t just campus tours; these are experiences that can change the trajectory of a student’s life and allow for students to feel a sense of belonging at CSU. Campus visits are an invaluable tool for increasing college access and helping students envision themselves as successful Ram students.
