California State Polytechnic University-Humboldt

My classes are all diverse, but you have to challenge yourself.

The classes are really great at Humboldt. The classes are usually pretty small and the teachers are fun and will spend extra time with you during office hours if you need it. Every class I've taken so far has been good!

I'll make it simple it basically seems that I'm learning. I mean I do pay for my education so I make sure I learn. The school gives you the tools needed to learn whatever you wish, I know because I use all the resources available to me.

I am learning a tremendous amount here at HSU - I've become a better student and a more educated scientist. The classes are challenging, some in ways I hadn't expected, but they have greatly expanded my critical thinking and observation skills. I am a kinesthetic learner, so HSU's focus on hands-on learning has been invaluable to me. The small class sizes (my smallest so far has been around 15 students) have made a huge difference in my education and have enabled me to interact with my professors beyond the classroom. Teachers from previous semesters still recognize me around campus and stop to see how I'm doing. Overall, I know my degree will be practical and will serve me well in the future. I cannot recommend HSU highly enough.

The natural beauty up here with the redwood forest is really unsurpassed. I feel the school is a good choice academically for those in the natural sciences (which is what I am doing and is a major reason I chose to go there). Finally, the community itself is lively, and there are almost always people on the plaza doing something or other.

HSU is a great school. there's an amazing faculty, all of whom are extremely knowledgeable and willing to help make sure that you learn what you aim to learn.

Very involved in social justice, nice and interesting people to interact with. Professors are easy to talk and meet with, willing to sit and talk at your convenience. Beautiful campus to walk around in, surrounding city as well.

My belief is that the capacity to learn is related to one's willingness to learn. I came to Humboldt State to learn as much as I can, while respecting and caring for myself in such a transitional phase in my life. Most HSU classes are small, and this gives me this feeling that my role as a zealous student is respected and encouraged. I am a Political Science double major with Critical Race, Gender, and Sexuality studies, and I have a 3.889 cumulative GPA. I love to learn. And at HSU my major classes have been in intimate settings where I developed healthy relationships with my fellow students and teachers. Very cool.

Humboldt State is an excellent university for the science majors. Their science programs are very impressive, even more so for the natural sciences. As a Botany major I am well challenged at the classes, some of which I would say are at the same level as some UC classes.

HSU is a great school, it may be isolated from the big cities, but it has so much beauty to offer and people just have to live here to realize that. HSU also has great teachers who are always willing to help students one on one when they need it. One thing that is hard to get use to is how nice faculty is and how they are willing to provide the best service ever.
