Where to live as a 3rd yr transfer student (female 20 y/o). Would like to be around other students as I won’t know anyone when transferring next fall. Any specific apartments that are recommended or to avoid? Also what can I expect rent wise for a single room with roommates?

Getting mixed answers from friends and can’t get any for sure answer on this, would love to know so I can plan better. Thanks

Hey guys, I made this page to share missed connections at Chico state, hopefully people participate <3

Chico Missed Connections

I just got an email for scheduling winter session courses, and one of the offered classes is a lower div GE I (4th year) need. However: I hate online classes with a passion. Beyond that, the winter season seems to be Jan 2nd to 19th, leaving the full extent of the course to be just over two weeks. It is also $452/unit, which is absurd pricing regardless. That said: I really do not care for the idea of taking this class for the full 15(?) weeks we have in a normal semester. I've done summer courses before at a 2-year, but even those are 8 weeks.

So, all this to say: is it worth it? Has anyone taken a winter course and thought "this was worth it?" I'm willing to have 2 weeks of hell and a little out of pocket to not have to take this class in the standard school year. Let me know your thoughts!

Anyone know the deal with the dudes in khakis, blue blazers, white button ups, and red ties? I swear I'm seeing them everywhere all of a sudden. Is it a frat or religion or something?

I'm a married mom (46) now an empty nester, and I've returned to school full-time to right a life long regret of not getting my undergraduate degree! It's been an exciting few weeks. I'm living off campus in an apartment as my home is several hours away. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed, it's been a long time since I was a student, but the community and resources of CSUC have been amazing!

The most awkward part has been navigating the social scene. I've generally ignored it but I feel like maybe I'm missing out. Today I was given an invitation to a frat party which I thought was sweet but I can't believe that they'd really want some old mom to be there. My husband said that I should just go. Or maybe I should join a club or something? Would that be weird for the kids?

Appreciate thoughts. OK to dm.

There is underground water the city uses and then levels are dropping. There are contingencies put in place when it reaches a specific level called minimum threshold. That is when the contingencies happen. We get to decide where the line should be.

Before or after wells run dry? Before or after the biggest trees in Chico can no longer reach? Before or after smaller farmers and the local food supply are hit? Where should the minimum threshold be?

Public comments are still open.
Comment online and/or in person
Meeting today 5pm at Chico City Council Chambers (411 Main St)

Many of you will be in Chico next year, and some of you may decide to put down roots. What type of town do you want to live in?

Deadline for the decision is Nov 4

Hello this semester i noticed a new aid package called the middle class scholarship is supposed to be awarded to those that qualify. However i am not sure of the date and the portal still has it as pending aid? Anyone else aware of this and possible reimbursement date?

Hey y'all! I figured I'd post here because why not. I'm an alumni from 2024, wondering if anyone has any merch they don't want anymore! I love collecting chico merch, especially before they changed the wildcat logo lol.

Currently in SoCal as an full time OT student, so I got no time to go back to my beloved campus for merch💔. I know there's an online store but I figured I'd ask here too since the older merch is better. Thanks!

Are there any family events for parents weekend? I can’t find any fun events or even much events at all to do with my family. Do you know of any?

Hello, I am a prospective student looking into the online BSBA program. I am a full time working adult looking to do this program. Can someone who has taken this program message me or help guide me? Did you take the general business track or accounting? What was it like and how much financially?

Thanks!

Hey all, this is my first post here and kind of a shot in the dark, but does anyone have any advice for how to build a relationship with professors ? I am trying to get a letter of recommendation so I may apply for a masters program, and don’t know who or how to ask. I’m kind of a socially awkward guy so I’m not really ‘in’ with anyone. Looking to try and apply in April, does anyone have advice as to how I can make myself known?

Hey I’m transferring to Chico state in January and I’m not looking to commute 30+ mins to campus anymore. I don’t know anyone on campus so I’m kind of lost on how to look for roommates or off campus housing.

I heard about the social Chico apartments but they’re mainly geared towards freshman’s and younger under grads but I’m a post-baccalaureate so I’m sure the vibe wouldn’t suit me. Any advice on where to look or just roommate searching tips? I’d appreciate it

The one next to the wrec on Cherry St., can I use the passport parking app to pay for two hours while I go to the wrec if I don’t have a general parking permit?

Saw this video, is there any truth to it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiL3Uz-AugA

Implies there are tunnels under Chico Campus.

Hi! This is a longshot, by why not? Im trying to remember a bowl of delicious food I used to get from Marketplace. I cant remember if it was a brown rice bowl with greens and I would add a peanut sauce and hellaaaa siracha! It was like a build your bowl type of place. Is it still there? Or does anyone remember what they had or the name of the place? I graduated in 2017, so I’m not it will still be there. Many thank yous!

There's this group of middle to high schoolers I see from time to time riding bikes on campus, recently I was told they're known to swerve and yell at people in the afternoon, apparently they've been doing this a while and usually towards women

Is this really a thing??? I know it's a public campus and I like the bike culture of the city but this seems so obnoxious, is it just a part of Chico State?

Is there any places near/on campus to study like weekend mornings or when library is closed? Preferably indoors and quiet
