Are you beginning your college career at CSU this coming January? For those new to campus and Fort Collins, here are some pluses: 1) You can orient yourself by looking for the mountains; 2) You can travel for just 20 minutes and explore foothills and canyons; and 2) you'll be attending one of the best universities in the nation. CSU was listed as a top tier university by U.S. News and World Report's 2010 "America's Best Colleges."

Easing the transition

Spring orientation for new first-year and transfer students is Jan. 14, 2010.
