I came to this school very open minded knowing that chico state was a party school, and me not being one to party i was a bit annoyed about it. Tell someone you go to chico state they say?? ?h the party school? which is extremely annoying because there is only about a handful of the students, around 35-40% that actually party and they are the oines giving us a bad rep, Downtown on the weekends is ridiculous, they have to bring in police on horse to break up parties and riots.

If you are into that lifestyle this is the perfect place, if you love destroying your lived on a daily bases come on down to chico.

Positives,
if you are looking for a college town, you found the right place, the city being built around the college, you have everything and anything you want to do to occupy your time. This University is an absolutely amazing school, The staff and faculty are amazing and i feel bad for them that they have to deal with the idiots that come to class drunk and ruin it for us. You can get a great education here in about any field. The campus is beautiful and is one of the greenest in the world, so if you are looking for sustainabilty you cant get much better than here.

Jobs and apartments
Since nothing but college students live here it is extremely hard to get a job here, mostly only upper classman can get one and you have a good backround of jobs already. Apartments are very hard to get if your wanting to get an average to nice one, crappy ones in bad areas are also hard as well, but mopst apartments are affordable.

If your coming here expecting a job, forget, you wont get one unless you have tones of expeirence and come in june or july to have the job in the upcoming year.

overall the university is amazing, but sadly im thinking of leaving here next year because of the students and the way they make so this city and college has a horrible reputation.

only my opinion. .. .

Quite Bright
I earned my BA in Psychology at CSUC. Chico was a good school. I enjoyed the friendships that I made there. The down side of the Psychology program is that you can't find a decent paying job after graduation. I had to go back to a community college to further my education. So, I am still going to school because my psych degree isn't employable. I enjoyed all that I learned at CSUC. I just wish the faculty had stressed that you won't find a job with just a BA.

Super Brilliant
I started taking classes at Chico State as a high school student and was frustrated to find that the school was just a continuation of the idiocy of high school, with the only difference being that students can smoke ON campus instead of going a block away from the high school to do so.

The academics were interesting, but not challenging at all. If anything, they were EASIER than my high school classes. I think the school is just going downhill even more because of the budget crisis here in California.

As far as things to do: there is not much innocent fun to be had here in Chico. Even if you go in to college being a sober person, by the time you leave Chico State (if you graduate at all), you'll be a partier and will have killed countless brain cells with alcohol/marijuana.

Some positive things about Chico State are its beauty and its library. Chico Creek runs through campus and the campus is full of trees and flowers. The library is large and extensive with inspiring views of campus and ample computer labs.

My experience at Chico State makes me think that state schools are not the way to go. For a real education, go to a private school.
