Review of California State Polytechnic University-Humboldt

from Bothell, WA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

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

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I made tons of friends within days of coming to Humboldt, everyone is very friendly! The small campus makes it easy to be involved, there are clubs and activities for everyone!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Coming from Washington, I was a little nervous about going to school out-of-state. However the WUE (Western Undergraduate Exchange) program makes school very affordable. Now I am able to go to a great school without hurting my wallet too much.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Don't expect a superficial crowd. Humboldt is very relaxed and down to earth. Sometimes the mellowness makes you forget that you're still going to school and you have to do homework sometimes! If you're a person who gets stressed out easily and needs lots of relaxation, this school is great!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Down to earth, creative, friendly, open-minded individuals. You will not win the rat race by coming to Humboldt. If you care for culture, the environment, and about having a deeper meaning in life, Humboldt may be what you're looking for. Challenge yourself in the classes, very important to be self-motivated.
