Fort Collins is home to award-winning Colorado State University (CSU), and fortunately so as the university is an integral part of our healthy and vibrant community. In recent news, university officials projected that the current student population could grow to 35,000 in the next 10 years – representing a total of 7,500 additional students. While it is wonderful that students continue to be attracted to CSU, housing considerations must be taken into account.
Student housing is already a scarce commodity in the area, making current projects like The Grove and The Commons—which combined will create housing for more than 1,282 students— of growing importance. Click here to read the complete story in the Northern Colorado Business Report – “CSU growth plans will put pressure on housing.”
>> Congratulations to CSU for the following rankings on the U.S. News & World Report’s Best Graduate Schools list :
The university’s Professional Doctoral Veterinaryprogram ranked third in the nation and the Professional Occupational Therapyprogram ranked sixth.
Almost all of the College of Natural Sciences ranked in the Top 100.
CSU’s fine arts, sociology, social work and part-time MBA programs also made the list.
I fell in love with Windsor over Memorial Weekend 2010. Knowing we were going to be moving to Colorado that summer, we had done a great deal of research. We checked out a lot of areas in Northern Colorado. But driving into Windsor, we knew we had found our home.
What makes the Town so appealing? Well, we saw the lake, the downtown, easy access to Fort Collins and Loveland. And behind the scenes there are people hard at work to ensure Windsor embraces a culture of sustainable growth, while maintaining its historic roots.
CNN MoneyWatch recently named Fort Collins, Colorado as one of the 10 best places to retire. In compiling their list, standards of good medical care and affordability were taken into consideration.
