Moving or Living Off Campus? Find out more!
The City of Fort Collins and Colorado State University are partners in the effort to build community and create a positive environment in neighborhoods where non-student residents and students live in close proximity. The University and City jointly fund the Community Liaison Programs position to take the lead on implementing programs to enhance relations between neighbors and students.
We offer students planning to move off campus for the first time an opportunity to get the information they need with regard to their housing options, rights and responsibilities off-campus, and resources available to them as off-campus residents. Residence Hall presentations happen on an annual basis.
