Review part 1
This is my my first impressions review of cal poly Humboldt.
Part 1/3
I’m a first year. I will gather pictures of the campus in its entirety for part 2 around winter break.
The campus is located right along the forest and has different entrances with differing experiences. The j is the main dining hall and is typical buffet style. The swipes and guest meal swipes can’t be used on the weekend there apparently so I guess I have to upgrade to a 7 day meal plan. Staff and student staff? Are extremely respective, helpful, and seem genuinely kind.
There are a significant amount of stairs depending where you want to go there aren’t enough to be problematic though unless maybe you’re a part of the canyon dorms which are built into the forest hill going up. A good tip is using the stairs as much as you can so you’re adjusted an entire year of that will serve your health.
I am in the co-ed building and people seem pretty lively 9/10 approaches are very friendly if there’s a group maybe one of them can be stand offish.
It’s pretty easy during welcome week to make some friends and that’s coming from someone with ASD. The bathrooms are ok and there’s one jerk who decided that they should pee on the toilet seat but the fool doesn’t realize that making that a standard means he’s going to have to deal with urine all over where he has to defecate.
My roommate is pretty chill and brought a lot of items that show off his depth. The weather is very nice and it’s basically still summer. Activity can make you heat up because the humidity won’t allow the sweat to evaporate effectively.
So far the people calling this school the worst decision of their life and the town unfriendly are exaggerating. BackWood burritos are so good dude the guy who s them is located in front of the theater.
Do be careful though… financial pressure can drive people into a dark hole and maybe those type of people who hate here ended up there. Make sure you don’t waste your four years here. Get experience meet people. The key to success is meeting successful people before they’re successful. You will try to match them and build a connection.
Other than that good luck everyone. Also remember you paid money to be here it’s your environment and ecosystem. Making sure it’s your community and space it will do wonders toward your future success.
