California State University-Chico Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about California State University-Chico? Why?

Jania

The worst thing about my school is the tainted reputation is has from a small group of students who are just attending university to party. Chico State is a great school with really strong academic programs but because a few people came here and acted crazy in the name of College it has a reputation as a party school. Hopefully people begin to see students like myself and so many others who are truly attending college to better themselves and the world around them.

Chico State has always had a reputation as a party school. In recent years there has been an effort to minimize this activity and reputation. Despite this effort the party scene is still quite prevalent. I would consider this a drawback as it serves as a distraction to my studies. Loud music and loud people do not make for the best environment to study. Even with these distractions it is still an excellent university, with the "party scene" being the only reaL drawback.

The worst thing about CSU, Chico is it's reputation for being a party school. In truth, it's better than it used to be and not much different from other college campuses. Those who visit Chico because it is a party school are the problem. The party school reputation only invites those students who don't take college seriously or just want to party. Our school has won awards in leadership, career training, volunteering, and sustainability. But people don't think about that when they think about CSU, Chico. Our party school reputation overbears all other great accomplishments.

The worst thing about my school is the reputation that it has for being a party school because of past history. Due to this, people do not take the students of Chico State seriously or the university. However, we do many things to counter act this reputation and we have slowly been taking away this reputation.

I had a great experience at Chico State and can't think of the "worst" thing about this school. As a matter of fact it was and continues to be a great place to attend.

Brittany

The worst thing about my school is that is outside and during the winter the weather gets pretty bad. I grew up in southern California so i am used to the warmth. Up here is the complete opposite, it rains a lot and is very cold for a good period of time.

I would consider the strong alcoholic atmosphere to be the worst thing to happen to this school. It has been this way for many years and it has a considerable negative impact for the the people who partake in this activity and the families who live in this area. Drinking of this nature promotes poor mental and physical health which absolutely affects ones academic capabilities.

Erika

There is not much to say bad about Chico State the worst thing I have encountered is the amount of people in my biology lecture that did not allow personal questions to be asked because of the limited office hours that the professor had.

Cassandra

The worst this about Chico State is the amount of partying that goes on. A lot of the students do not have to work or pay for anything while they are attending Chico State and it seems like they do not take school as seriously as others. This makes it difficult when you are put in to a group for a team project.
