California State University-Chico Top Questions

Everyone at CSU, Chico is so outgoing and different from one another. Since my first day here in August, 2014, every single person I have met has been so accepting of everyones unique differences. In class, we work together and push each other to our limits to learn the maximum information we can handle each and every day. I would say that the students and even the professors strive to encourage everyone to be the best that can all be and I'm so glad to be in a community as accepting as Chico State's community.

Classmates at Chico State are always friendly, helpful, and eager to achieve success.

People who work hard but party harder.

Fun and friendly.

The majority of the students in my classes were smart, motivated, and hardworking, with a keen interest in the field of psychology.

They are pretty smart. A lot of people are nice to everybody and the overall experiance is enjoyable.

Engaged and open-minded individuals. Great to be around and learn from.

I must say, my college classmates are a lot different from my college classmates. High school days were filled with distractions with the weekly drama of who’s dating who and of course the class clown. The students I have in my class now are attentive and interested in learning. This makes for a great learning environment for not only them but for me too. Being surrounded with people that actually want to be there helps me stay excited to come to class.

Full disclosure, I'm bisexual. With that out of the way, Chico is beyond welcoming and amazingly diverse, both in terms of sexual identity and racial differences. The only student that i can see feeling out of place is the bred-and-raised bigot who legitimately hates everyone not like themselves. Conservatives work with liberals and vice-versa, straights work with LGBTQA and everything is actually rather peaceful here. Students are rather relaxed in their dress for the most part. The NorCal weather does not like people who walk around campus like its a runway, I'll tell you that right now. The relaxed dress goes into the culture at chico, where classes are difficult at times but there isn't a lot of gogogogogogogogo rushing about. Most of the students are from the Bay Area, with a few like myself from SoCal and quite a few from either Chico itself or neighboring towns. Mostly, financially-speaking, loans are prevalent, but there are many who either were gifted with parental help or ork through college. The tuition is comparably low in this state so it's not too difficult to manage in these ways.

All my classmates are respectful to both the teachers and students. No one speaks without being called on. Students and teachers are considerate of feelings and opinions.
