All of the teachers I've met are friendly and ready to help. The admissions and financial aid staff are patient and listen well if you have a question or do not understand something. Talking with them is like having a conversation with a friend, and the environment is relatively relaxed.
Will enjoy being here
Teachers seem to always be willing to dig into their extra time for their students, even those that are extremely busy. Service to the school and the community are both important to the faculty and staff at Cal U, from the grounds keepers to the higher ups in old main. The food at the goldrush and other places around campus is great.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
For such a widely known university, Cal U has reasonable tuition. As the parking situation is relatively new though, it may take the campus a while to get it worked out, which is perfectly acceptable. There is always construction going on, which is a great sign for any university. It means that they are constantly upgrading facilities to better serve their students. The residence halls are so nice, not cinder block prison walls with no windows. You get your own bathroom! No community showers. And, you get air conditioning too.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Take a tour of the campus first, I would say that Cal is a small campus in a rural area, and that may not be right for everyone. Talk to people who attend or have attended, ask them questions. If you come here, take the Covey class! It's called the seven habits of highly effective people, and it can be a mind altering class, if you let it be. It's free to everyone, as all the people who teach it are volunteers, so it is a great experience.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who want to live in a relatively calm setting that is close enough to a city to go and have fun on the weekends, but not so close that it is distracting to academics could really enjoy it here. Cal isn't about just one thing, be it just academics, or just sports, or just parties. A lot of great things about this school come in equal amounts, which makes it well balanced, so anyone looking for a well rounded experience would find it easy to acclimate to this school.
