California State University-Chico Top Questions

The most disheartening phenomenon I observe at school is the culture of college in our country, where students seem to slump along on their parents generous sallaries without a real desire to attend school. I would love to be surrounded by a culture of young adults in education who are thriving and excited to pursue their dreams.

The worst thing is that there is not a diverse student/faculty population. Although Chico State's goal was to bring diversity into campus, it did not happen.

The off campus life needs to offer students more. It seems like the community in general is hostile to the students and it causes students to drink too much.

One of the worst things in my univeristy is that the library is close early on Fridays and on the weekends. Many students like to go to a quite and peaceful environement and due their homework. Also, students use their weekend to catch up on homework and finish upcoming homework assignments such as group projects. I know this for a fact because Chico State had "sit in" protest a couple of weeks ago; students expressed their fellings by staying in the library after the library was close.

Alcohol is such a distraction for most people

It's reputation. Everyone thinks Chico States is a huge party school, but it's really not. It's only a party school if that's the experience you want it to be. To be honest, every college has as many parties and the problems that come with them as Chico does; it's just not publicized and well known because CSU, Chico is located in a smaller city compared to the bigger cities other universities are located. Chico State should actually be known for its progress toward environmental sustainability.

The advisors suck

middle of no where

My school had a past reputation for being a party school that didn't fit with today's reality.

I dislike the fact that people think they have to get drunk to have a good time.
