California State Universities: Humboldt State University

By Peter King


In the city of Arcata, California, you might find yourself a true educational hub in the Humboldt State University. This university has done so much from me, from nurturing me in preparation for every thing I might encounter beyond the school to sculpting my own perspective in life.

This is a charming little spot to study at, together with shrubs, trees and grass lining every path and architectural structure inside the campus grounds. I survived with just using my two feet bringing me to my class simply because it's really not that strenuous compared to other schools I have seen. Also, class sizes are generally small so all my teachers actually remember me. Most are pretty welcoming and helpful that despite having subjects which you really can't comprehend that quickly, you will. Simply consult with them! Taking a history class there just transformed my view with regards to the olden times.

The people in the school are extremely welcoming. I pretty much arrived there without knowing a soul, yet from the very first day, I already have had several relationships with my classmate and other people from all the organizations I took part in. It really is among the many locations where you have someone shouting "Have a pleasant day!" to you a couple of times in a day. It also helps that the university grounds are generally so relaxing and offers you a lot of activities to do with all your friends. For the outdoor enthusiasts, you must frolic in the water, hike, climb, camp or bike round the Redwoods and shorelines. For artsy interests, you can drop by and catch some of the best performers like Mike Birbiglia or the Fleet Foxes at Arts Alive.

The best way to describe HSU is laid-back. You don't have to dress up, put on your make up and wear sky-high heels to have a drink and socialize. People, as well as the hang out spots are all cozy. No one really gives importance to who you are, whether you are the president of the student body or the captain of a varsity team. In fact, people there aspire to be more environmentally conscious and in tune with their beliefs.

Lastly, whatever I have learned and picked up from my classes have in fact aided me with my current profession. The trainings as well as programs mold one to be a more than capable individual in the society so whether you choose to get a job or pursue a master's degree in science or wildlife, you will definitely conclude that Homboldt State University was an ideal choice. I know it was mine.
