California State University-Chico Top Questions

Describe your favorite campus traditions.

Max

It's dedication to sustainability and to community service.

Laurel

Honestly, my college is best know for the parties, so try not to get too wrapped up in them. Have fun while in college but remember why you are here, to get an education, so pay attention to the other things the school is know for as well, like great business, kinesiology, and agriculture programs, friendly students to form study groups with, and diverese cultural events.

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.

Emily

CSU Chico is best known for its partying, but also for it's quality education for a low price.

Thomas

My school is best known for being a party school. It gets annoying fast when the first thing you hear out of everyone's mouth when they hear you go to Chico is "I bet you know how to party," or "Oh, that's just a drinking school." This school is fun, but is very difficult to keep a high GPA. I think the balance that Chico delivers is very hard to mimic and helps its graduates once they get into the "real world." We have an extremeley high rate of alumni with jobs with 6-digit or more salaries.

Chico state has recently lowered the gpa and increased the tuition, making it better known for the increase in students from southern california.

Josh

Danielle

People often think that Chico State is a synonym for "party school." Yes, people do enjoy there parties here, but that is not all that Chico State has to offer. It is well known for its Business, Recreation, Liberal Studies, and Agriculture programs. It also has a great Construction Management program. Career fairs take place often and the faculty here wants you to succeed and helps you to do so.
