    As a Chico State alum, I spent my formidable years as a young adult in and around this campus and have so many cherished memories. Every time we come back just makes me feel so happy. The creek, the parks nearby, the bikes everywhere. It's a real college town. Summer is always more quiet than when school is in session. Even so, my kids were able to appreciate how pretty the campus is - even during a pandemic - along with reminiscing our days here as we ate lunch near the bridges along the creek and gardens. As for studies and social life, you'll get what you put into it. From here, I received a scholarship for grad school at UCLA. So you can be studious or a partier, or both. But for this very personal review, all I can really recommend is visiting Chico State, or whatever campus you choose, to help you decide where you'll go to college. And once you do, jump in 100% to get the most out of it. Those who tiptoe and not see the end goal, like getting a bachelor's degree, may let the little things get in the way. Chico State is a gem in my book and I'd recommend it to my own kids!

    The school is not Harvard, but it gets you a law degree and allows you to sit for the California…read morebar exam. The program is 4 years, almost year round, at night, three nights a week, three hours a night. Like most schools, it has its pros and cons, and some teaching staff is better than others. But at the end of the day, it is a means to an end. The tuition is affordable, but no loans. You need to find your own financing. Most people work during the day, and then school at night. If you have a life or family right now, you will not while this is going on.. Be prepared to spend the weekends in the library, all day, and the Monday night you are not in class will be spent studying. Friday night you need a damn break, so do not even try to study then. Good luck!!!

(Doctor of Jurisprudence) degree, which can be earned in four years through night classes, either in person or synchronous online, and a Master of Legal Studies (M.L.S.) degree, which can be completed part-time in two years. The J.D. program meets the educational requirements for admission to the State Bar of California. However, individuals enrolled in the MLS program are not eligible to pursue the J.D. degree, and completing an MLS does not qualify a student to take the California Bar Exam or practice law in California or other jurisdictions. Prospective law students should verify the requirements of the jurisdiction where they intend to practice.

    University of California Forestry Camp

    Forestry Camp (circa 1917) is run by UC Berkeley's Forestry Department/College of Natural Resources…read moreand is situated in Meadow Valley, CA in Plumas County. The closest "big town" is Quincy (about 15-25 minute drive away), and the closest "city" would be Reno, NV about 100 miles away (about two hours). Every summer, Forestry Camp is home to an intense 8-week summer course that sees undergraduates from various disciplines and universities taking four introductory forestry courses. They familiarize students with the local Sierra Nevada ecology, map and compass skills, and forestry equipment (e.g. diameter to breast height tape, clinometers, etc.) before tackling more advanced topics including silviculture and utilization (how to grow trees and then utilize the end products known as lumber). It is an extremely exciting session, and it is required of all Forestry students at Cal. It is a fast way of earning a Forestry minor at Cal, which was what I did. Students from other universities across the nation (not just limited to the UC system) may apply and sign up for camp. It usually accommodates between 30 to perhaps 45 campers. Students are housed in "bunkhouses" comprised of four rooms with two students to a room. If there aren't as many students for a year though, you may end up having a room all to yourself (as was my case). Other students who want a more up-and-close experience with nature can opt for "shantyhouse cabins" that are standalone cabins on the outskirts of camp. They have mesh screens and aren't as insulated as a result. They're still two to a cabin, and are hotly sought after at the start of camp. There is plenty more information that I want to write about Forestry Camp, but there is a text limit on Yelp so I've striven to provide an introductory text to what it is. But I do want to say that coming to camp during my undergraduate career was one of the best decisions I made in college. Of all my years of education, I have never felt like I have learned anything more useful than what I did here. I was always appreciative everyday going to class that I was learning among all these towering Douglas Firs and sugar pine trees. I felt that I lived more in the 56 or so days I spent here in Meadow Valley than in my whole life. Of course, your mileage may vary. All in all, Forestry Camp is home to an amazing collegiate experience. You spend almost your entire day with your fellow campers, seven days a week. You learn so much about a critical natural resource. And then on the weekends you go to Thunder Cafe and recreate in the woods and creeks. If you want to learn more, hit me up.
