Colorado State University is within a short 12 minute drive. This development location is great for potential students, not to mention all the events and opportunities available for cultural (music, art, theatre) and sporting events for those who don’t necessarily attend the University itself. Being a college town, Fort Collins does a great job of blending culture, opportunity and adventure for its residents.
