The emphasis on group work, the sense of trial-by-fire due to our reputation and the easy going yet appropriately rigorous nature of the campus.

Lindsey

Compared to other school the thing that is most unique about my school is that we have a university farm. Most schools do not have a farm and they do not give students the opportunity to have a tremendous amount of hands on experience. There are also many other opportunities that my school gives such as internships, and advice to help them choose the right path.

Chico was a very tight-knit community. It was not a commuter school so everyone depended on each other and made life long friends. If you could not go home for the holidays of even weekends, others were willing to have you over or invite into their family. It was very very easy to find friends.

Samuel

It has a small town feel that gives a strong campus pride to the students.

Chico's University Farm is not only amazing, but it's a great place for an education. The farm is student run, which means that the food is produced by Chico students, then eaten by other students or members of the community. With a dairy farm, a meat lab, a swine unit, and acres of fruits and vegetables, it's no wonder why Chico considers itself sustainable.

Katrina

We are the only really college town left in California. Downtown literally runs into campus and everyone living around the school is a student. We still have small classes and the campus is beautiful. We still have traditions and it is a very community feel.
