What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
The advice that I would give myself would to apply to more scholarships. Universities are very expensive and I had to and still take out loans. If I had known about college life I could have saved my money at my jobs and had done more extracurricular activites and had done a sport for the entire four years instead of doing it my last year. I could have received a scholarship for college. The basic information that i would give to myself is to get involved and apply as much scholarships as I possibly could.

What's unique about your campus?
Many students attend CSU Chico expecting a glistening Party-topia with fountains of booz e and friendly easy-going people. Although many people are friendly, there is certaintly a dark underside to the town. Many people come to the city to deal drugs and party along with the students, with no intention of succeeding academically. With them, comes an influx of crime, it is not the safest place. However, it is not all bad. Like anywhere, it is possible to find friendly open-minded people of good character, you've just got to search a little harder.

What kind of person should not attend this school?
The kind of person who shouldn't attend is one who wants to be driven and focused on getting a great career after school. Chico State sets us up for success but doesn't necessarily guide the way. The school isn't focused on sciences, math or the arts very well. It mostly caters to business and communications majors (which incidentally helps me out!). If you plan on getting a career in theater or film, look elsewhere.

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
I wish i would have known more about the outdoor recreation activities available in the Chico area. Bidwell park is an amazing place for walks, bike rides, hikes and many other things. When I first started at this school, I had no idea that I could satisfy my need for outdoor activities within the city limits. I wasted the first several months at Chico searching for getaways near Chico where I could go to the river or go on hikes, little did I know that all of this and more was available right in front of my nose!

Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
The atmosphere in Chico is of a friendly sort. As well as the scenery being serene. The campus is covered with trees, in fact the campus is actually an arbotoreum. I also liked the buildings; they are so diverse in structure and they each have a story behind them.

Describe your favorite campus traditions.
Honestly most people who hear about Chico State assume it is one big party. Unfortunately they over look the many better things Chico State is known for. We have raised almost one million dollars for "Up till Dawn" which donates to St. Jude's children's hospital and also the CAVE program here is well known for helping with many different parts of the community. Also Chico is a very "green" school and does its best to recycle and reuse things. I think that people need to not judge a book by its cover and see what Chico really is.

What is your overall opinion of this school?
Chico is a beautiful school, with red brick buildings and enough green, leafy trees to actually qualify the campus as an arboretum. The curriculum, specifically speaking from a Business major standpoint, is challenging but with very clear real-life applications for what you are learning. Nestled in one of the few remaining "college towns," it can be very easy to get oneself lost in the small-town life instead of the University one. That all being said, there are parts that I, personally, find less than favourable. The recent controversy over the parking structure, for example. Every morning there's dangerous, polluting deadlock to find parking spots in the sole parking structure available. Thus, to alleviate this problem, the Board proposed and laid foundations for a new, LEED certified parking structure. The hippies and people with terrible priorities went utterly nuts. Of course, most of them biked in because they were able to pay for housing near to the school, so they had no idea about the issue, as students come from Redding and other towns pretty far from chico and need to drive, thus making the second parking structure kind of a no-brainer. Anyways, aside from the fee hikes, that was the biggest thing going on, along with our own "Occupy" movement, quiet though it was.
Chico is a great school with a lot of varied opinions and viewpoints. That pretty much sums it up.

Where is the best place to get work done on campus?
Oh, by and large, the library. There are whole sections devoted to quiet study and one can definitely power through a few good hours there with just one's books, an mp3 player and things that need to get done.

What are the most popular student activities/groups?
CAVE, the student volunteer group, is by and large the biggest student group but there are hundreds of others to choose from. Next, there's the greek organizations, then the heritage groups, then the political groups, followed by a massive number of nice or personal hobby/interest groups.
Athletics are a decently sizable interest but as we don't have a football team, its really not that big of a deal. Other sports that we have are Volleyball, Soccer, Track and Rugby, among others.
Right off campus is Chico's downtown so there's plenty to do within walking distance and Bidwell Park, the larget Municipal park this side of the Mississippi, is just a short bike ride away.

What are the academics like at your school?
The academics, as I've said before, are rigorous without delving too much into theoretical, speaking from the college of Business. The professors generally get to know you quite well if you interact in class and truly do care about your success. They are more than willing to talk to you in their office hours and understand if you have difficulties with the material and will gladly help you through them. ACCT 202 was a pain and a half but I got through it and I'm glad I did, as it prepared me for classes after that were difficult and how to deal with them. As a Business student, the learning is geared to real-life and the life beyond these halls, where the impetus is becoming the best you can and finding your niche or your strength, then how to bring that into the company you work for.
