Review of California State Polytechnic University-Humboldt
from SoCal
Describe your college in three sentences.
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.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Dorm life is almost essential for getting to know people in the first year. Also, don't be alarmed by the small town lifestyle. It may take getting used to but it is definitely interesting and a good change from the city.Register for classes as soon as possible, classes fill up quick and call in for info quick so you can get the info, whomever you call is always nice and willing to help.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Classes are definitely different than high school. You learn new things and get multiple perspectives and opinions. Just go to class, on time, pay attention and ask questions if you need help.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Depending on where you live it may either be really loud night and day or just right. You can get a choice in how many people to live with besides your typical double or triple room assignment. Doorm life gives you a chance at independence and socializing just as long as you know how to control and balance with school work.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is pretty great to be utterly honest. Many healthy options, vegan, gluten-free, and vegetarian. Produce is local and you get plenty for the right price with you meal plan. The cafeteria is definitely loud at dinner but it is a wide space. Breakfast is probably the best part of the day and there are so many options.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
If your outdoorsy then there is an overflowing amount of things to do and they are right next door in the community forest. Not only the massive amount of forest but you get more than 3 beaches to choose from as well. The farmer's market is also filled with great food stands, live music, and fresh produce. The surrounding stores at the Plaza are also great for stopping by and looking at what's local.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Over a hundred clubs of all types, ultimate frisbee is quite popular. There are even some weird ones like how to exercise through laughter.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
If you are being stalked or just don't feel safe whatsoever, there are emergency buttons all over campus that will get the on campus police to you in less than 5 minutes, no lie. They are nice officers too, always on stand by and ready to help.
