The best thing about the Cal Poly Humboldt experience is that you will truly receive the one-on-one attention you need to succeed from your professors. It is a smaller university with more intimate professors and they all seem to really care about you succeeding in your respective programs. Being nestled in the redwoods doesn't hurt, either. It is a beautiful campus filled with beautiful people. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more intimately fulfilling college experience.
My experience at Humboldt State University has been fairly positive so far. As a graduate student currently enrolled in the graduate program amidst the COVID-19 restrictions, the second half of my program is a bit different and subsequently more difficult than it would probably be under regular conditions (Ex. Taking online classes vs in-person classes/labs). The school does seem to provide support to the graduate students when they can but only if you happen to actually know where to go and who to talk to. It's a wonderful campus to walk around and the students and faculty/staff generally try to be helpful when they can.
The fisheries department provides a lot of opportunities for the small, rural location. There are frequently interesting guest lectures. The faculty is knowledgeable and approachable. Though they can't promise extra funding sources, there are many side-jobs and scholarships just for graduate students within the department. The graduate community is supportive and friendly. Arcata is a small town with enough variety to offer while you are a busy graduate student. If you like the ocean, there is plenty to do, and if you like rivers, we are not far from multiple beautiful rivers.
My only wish is that there was more diversity within the department. There are currently no women in the fisheries department faculty. Students in the fisheries department are mostly white and male, but that is slowly changing and there should be more mentors for people of color and women joining the field.
