Spring RamWelcome Frequently Asked Questions
  1. I have a question about residence halls (room decorating, furniture options, what to bring, room policies, etc.). Where can I find more information? Please see our Housing/Dining Frequently Asked Questions page.
  2. What is Ram Welcome: Experience CSU? How is this different from other orientation programs? Ram Welcome: Experience CSU is an exciting experience designed for every new student. It begins on Thursday, January 17, 2008 and continues through first week of classes in the spring. Ram Welcome builds on other orientation programs for new students, including Preview, Next Step. Ram Welcome: Experience CSU is a campus-wide collaborative effort designed to assist you with the transition into CSU. Participating in RAM Welcome is an excellent way to get to know other students, faculty, and staff at CSU. You will have the opportunity to learn about invaluable campus resources and become better connected to both CSU and the Fort Collins community.
