Review of California State University-Chico

from Chico, CA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

When I first came here, I had no idea what college was going to be like, but after discovering this college when I got invited to the Chico State High School Invitational, I discovered the perfect college for me. Learning the history of the town, getting to know my professors, and networking with people who can further my understanding on multiple topics and help me peruse the career of my dreams.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

After completing my first year in college, I decided to stay in the town over summer looking for a job. By doing so, I eventually landed a job at the best BBQ place in town. It helped me get connected with the community and know more about events within it. I enjoy riding my bike in the hot summers here, whether going to Bidwell Park, the skate park, or going on a bike ride to the downtown market in the summer, where you can get all kinds of goodies for cheap prices.

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

I would have to say that the best bang for you buck place in town in the Upper Crust Bakery where they have sweets of all kinds and it is located fairly close to campus. Broadway Heights is a great lunch place also located right downtown next to campus.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Get involved in events and if you are scared to do it by yourself, bring a friend. Explore the town on your bike to see all the works of art downtown.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Outgoing people who like both cold and hot weather.
