Chico is a tiny college town that is surrounded by adventures that open up your mind about the world. Bidwell Park located in Chico and walking distance from the campus is where I go to do my homework. Once I am done with my homework have multiple things I can do at this park, go for a swim, slip on my running shoes for a run, attempt multiple hikes and some of the greatest bike rides that you will remember for the rest of your life.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure you take advantage of the opportunities around you. When done with homework look at all of the attractions the city has to offer.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Go on a run at Bidwell park, bike rides, hikes, go floating. Watch soccer games, basketball games, baseball games. Participate in some of the groups the campus has to offer. I recommend C.A.V.E they are a really fun group that tries to help the community.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Bear Hole: a swimming hole in chico that has the setting of a lake. Some great rocks you can dive from.
The Bear: A very famous restaurant in Chico, if you want a 5 star burger, and a set of fries that is place to go and they are fair on their prices. I recommend getting The JIF burger. A peanut butter hamburger with bacon on it.
Peekings Chinese Food: Makes great homemade Chinese food and a fool plate of it. You will never go hungry when coming back from this restaurant
- BIDWELL PARK: I cant stress enough how much of a fun place this park really is. A recreational pool in which people of all ages can jump in. Miles and miles of trails to run, hike and bike on. Upper Bidwell is where all the mountains are there are some beautiful sights to see while up there.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Rose Garden, do not pick the flowers there or else you can get fined for it.
Soccer Stadium: A lot of great professional soccer players played in this stadium. If you want to watch a game and have a good time and meet some nice people go to the Soccer Stadium. The parents of the players on the team have great stories and are open to have a conversation with anyone.
The Wrec: one of the nicest gyms I have ever seen on a college campus. Indoor soccer court, multiple basketball courts, a 5 star weight room, field hockey, multiple classes you can take (for free) MMA classes, spinning, yoga, and many others.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students that are willing to go on adventures and spend their time learning new things
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Basketball Games are very entertaining, games are always packed and its almost certain you will have a good time and make some friends. Soccer Games are pretty wild, some of the players on this team make the game play so smoothly and it is enjoying to watch the games and have conversations with some of the parents that go to the games. CAVE is a club that goes out and cleans up the streets of Chico, and garbage that has been wandering the streets is cleaned up by CAVE they do a really good job and spend the majority of their weekends taking care of the city.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Very safe, Police officers everywhere making sure things are going smoothly, their are parts of town you do not want to find yourself at a certain time of the day. But as a college student you should not be finding yourself in that area. There are blue poles with phones on them in case of an emergency found throughout campus. You can get free taxi rides from some of the taxies that work for the city.
