I know this is old, but I'm bumping it because it helped me out. Also, one other tip for collection_select:

If you don't need the prompt, you can use this:

…, {}, { "style" => "width:200px" }

But note that none of these are good ideas. Style attributes do not belong in good HTML. Instead, use a separate CSS file. (For best results, add Sass and Compass into the mix.)

Best,
