California State University, Chico

"Terrible experience. I wanted to go study in Chico University but they wouldn’t accept my international transcripts. They gave dumb reasons like “stamps on the transcripts from two different schools are the same” even though the lady who reviewed them doesn’t speak a single word of the language the stamps are written in! They were not the same!!!!! They claimed that I forged those transcripts even though CSU Sacramento accepted those exact same transcripts!!! Terrible experience all in all. The international admissions staff there were unfriendly, unhelpful and unqualified. They should be retrained on how to do their job better, so they don’t give this kind of experience to other students. Thankfully I kept my Sacramento application active, so I can go there instead."

"Great place to go to school. The classes are sized appropriately and the campus is beautiful and full of life. Surroundings are great and it is very affordable. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking a four year degree."

"I just started here this fall and was excited, but as of lately chico has left a bitter taste in my mouth. I mailed in my verification for financial aid in the second week of July, but they didn't receive it until the end. Every week, I would call to check up on my aid, and was told everything was fine. The 17th rolls around no funds, because they lied and didn't complete my file. I had to take out a temp loan, yet as a single parent my rent was delayed due to my dependency on that money. By the time I got that loan, bills were piled up, even with a new job it's been hard to recover. Rents due again, funds were supposed to disburse tomorrow, but guess what?!!! Something was wrong with my financial aid and again a delay which is their fault. I turned everything in timely, and to make matters worse they don't even notify you I had to call. I've been to 2 colleges and they were more professional than this, emailed you when there were issues etc. Honestly, I could've started at San Marcos cause I got accepted there too! This is making me rethink my choice."

"One of the most beautiful campuses in all of California. Excellent value in education coupled with small class sizes and Full Professors with PhD's. Good School. Great town environment and reasonable cost of living. Wildcat Recreation Center is amazing!"

"Very nice campus! What a great graduation spring of 2019!"
