You're Better of Walking or Riding Your Bike

Parking is so limited! It is a pain in the ass to find a parking spot if you're not arriving on campus at 8am. You literally have to stalk a person and follow them to their car, haha. HSU and Arcata are very bike friendly though. Many people ride their bikes to campus. Its a pretty safe campus so theres no worry about anyone stealing your bike. There's plenty of bike parking everywhere. The campus is also walking distance from most places in Arcata.

Amazing Classes and Professors

I came to HSU because I heard about how hands on the classes were. Especially for the Wildlife program. So far I've taken 2 Botany classes and have spent a lot of time outside going on walks to actually see these plants in their natural habitat since the redwood forest is basically HSU's backyard. I've learned so much in the past year here. The teachers are all very awesome and friendly. Some classes are very small and intimate making it easier to connect with the professors and the information you're learning about.

College Life

Every guy and girl at our school dresses the way the want with out being judge. That's what i love about this school. Some students go barefooted to class and its a normal thing to all of us. Since it's a small school we all socialize very well. but when you have a problem with someone its very hard to avoid them. The girls at this school are from different places so when they come here they don't adapt quickly. The boys at this school are alright not to bad but the good one are taken already. Most relationships i've seen here seem to last because some have been together for a long time, engaged, or married.
