ALL GENDER AND OPEN HOUSING & UNIVERSITY HOUSING
Residence halls offer students the choice of All Gender and Open Housing.
All Gender and Open Housing provides students a community where roommates and/or suitemates of any gender can live together in a more integrated environment. All gender and open housing is reflective of the housing choices/opportunities available to students off-campus where they can select their roommate of choice. Some examples of students who may be interested in all gender and open housing include but are not limited to:
- Disabled student rooming with a student attendant of the opposite sex
- Female international student living with a male student guardian (i.e. brother, cousin, uncle)
- Transgender student requesting a roommate based on comfort and support rather than biological sex (e.g., friend or ally)
- Depressed/anxious student requesting a non-binary gender roommate for support
- Siblings, cousins, and childhood friends of varying gender identities (e.g., male/female siblings or twin)
For more information, please contact the University Housing Office at housing@colostate.edu. or (970) 491-4719 or visit their website at https://housing.colostate.edu/halls/communities/open-housing/.

Amplify Pride
Amplify is a residential learning community at CSU made up of around 340 students who all have majors in the College of Natural Sciences. Through living with fellow science majors, students can study, connect, and make friendships with folks who are in their same first year classes and will be in the same major coursework throughout their undergrad. Amplify has a sub-community called Amplify Pride - a partnership with the CSU Pride Resource Center.
Inspired by the concept of chosen family, this cohort will have the option to take a queer-centered 1-credit Freshman Seminar Course together, participate in Rams in Q'mmunity Mentoring Program, and get connected to our LGBTQIA+ science student org, oSTEM. Interested students can also take Intro to Ecology and participate in Queer Ecology research. This experience also provides optional opportunities for paid research positions, doing science with local queer youth, and the option to get funding to travel to the national oSTEM conference.
Amplify is located in one of the newest residence halls on campus (Pinon Hall, with some space in Alpine Hall, both in Laurel Village) that has been designed for science students with floor to ceiling whiteboards, a common study area, a classroom, and multiple study rooms.
