Chico State is an experience like no other. Enrolling here, I've made meaningful relationships, and met many people I am proud to say are my friends. The dorm life is lively, it always seems like people are always busy with something.
Chico State also offers great on campus recourses, whatever you can think of, there's probably a building or office dedicated to it. The campus does a great job at not only advocating for successful students, and high marking grades. But also makes sure to put mental health and individual well-being right alongside that in terms of importance.
I do not regret enrolling in Chico State, and I'm confident that my following years at this school will uphold the same praises that I have expressed so far!

My experience at Chico state is ok. I wouldn't say it was bad but I also wouldn't say it was great. I think that Chico's clubs and activities should try and involve more students. Another thing about Chico is the classes are a hit or miss. Some class are awesome and I love attending whereas some classes just feel like work.
The advisors are really knowledgeable and work hard to make your academic experience unique. They are really good at substituting course requirements to fit your interests, and they clearly have a passion for their students! The professors were amazing and so well versed in the subjects, and they are a great support post-graduation as well!
