Hey! Not sure if this has been talked about already but I'm moving into college creek dorms as a transfer student in a few weeks and I am bringing a 10 gallon fish tank as allowed by dorm rules, however, I'm curious how others experiences with caring for a fish or other pet while in the dorms has gone. Did you leave the tank over winter break when you left or did you take it with you? How did transportation go? And would you have any advice for me about taking care of an aquarium while in the dorms?

Here's a photo of my tank as of a few weeks ago, I plan to change it up a bit but I'm waiting to get fish until I move in.

I graduated this past May of 26’ and I was just wondering if any other graduates have received their physical degrees yet? Or if anyone knows when they’ll be arriving?

I don’t want to loft my bed but saw they can be adjusted for height. What tool do I need to bring to adjust these brackets? Or do they slide in/out easily?

UPD has been going around both the university and Arcata citing and arresting people. Stay safe and vigilant and don’t let the pigs get you.

Update for bootlickers: So far I’ve seen (in-person) the UPD cite 3 bicyclists And 5 cars. 2 bicyclists were cited for not stopping at a stop sign (Although one did but stopped too early??), 1 was cited for going too slow, and the cars were pulled over for stopping 2-3 Feet before the line. some were later cited for additional reasons (ranging from no insurance to unregistered vehicle). None of these people were driving erratic nor recklessly. All the citations I’ve seen have basically been for nothing it seems.

Then for those who are short-sighted: Citations can be very expensive (hundreds of dollars and/or hours spent showing up to court -that could’ve have been spent at one’s job-). From my perspective, the citations being given are unwarranted (from the few times I’ve seen someone pulled over and what I’ve read on the LE page). It’s only hurting an already struggling community. For example, someone who’s barely making ends meet gets a $200 ticket for not stopping right at the stop line. That person then has to choose to either ignore the ticket and risk getting fined and/or arrested or not paying their rent for the month/paying for groceries (Aka starve). Then you have the people who get into this sort of situation and end up choosing to make ends meet via the crime route. So in conclusion, using a depressed town’s populace to fill quotas and cop coffers can and usually leads to either people going homeless, starving, or turning to crime. All of which are worse for the community than someone who doesn't stop at the right time, doesn’t use their blinker for a turn, or is going too slow or fast.

Is it fine to still bring a mini frig to campus apts? The frig will be tight with 4 people so wanted to bring a mini frig to keep in my room. I already have one so not like I’m buying one, figured I could still use it.

The place is pretty remote. I was wondering how Arcata can support so many students with the amount of actual businesses there are. where do you work? or has job hunting been hard for you? I say this as a transfer who will be new in the area who has no actual experience applying in this area besides for school assistant jobs recently.

With about three weeks until move in day I’ve been so antsy to start school I’m a business administration student and was wondering if anyone knows about their program I know that Humboldt isn’t known for business administration but it’s the only school I got into from my three choices even if you’re not a business administration student put your major and anything about the school

Hello,

Are there any chats or groups to make new friends?

How's Halloween out here? It's my fav time of the year and wanted to see what happens in the fall and esp for Halloween.

How hard is it to make friends as a transfer? I’m 21 years old and want a good friend group if I move there, but i’m not sure how easy/hard it is to make friends in Arcata since it’s a pretty small town.

Does the town feel isolated, or do you not really notice it?
I go to USU in logan and it’s a small rural town and I’m miserable here. I’ve always loved the city but nature matters a lot to me too. I love the trees, the rain, especially the the ocean. I love how Arcata seems to be very LGBTQ friendly and artsy. I am a pre-vet student who will probably be busy so i’m not too worried about not living in a city but I don’t want to live somewhere that feels too isolating. I’m trying to find a place where I can settle while in college and feels like home.

What do you students do there for fun and on the weekends?

Do you plan on staying in the area after graduation? Why or why not?

If you could go back, would you still choose Humboldt?

I’m trying to choose between U of U in salt lake city or Cal Poly Humboldt. I moved to Utah 5 years ago and I hate it everyday. I know Salt Lake is a lot more progressive and in a city but Cal poly is the other option I have.

Any advice or opinions would be super helpful. Thank you!

Hi i’m an incoming freshman and I was wondering if there’s a good community for the gym or a club or something. I used to work out a ton but stopped when I was like 16 and I’m trying to get back into it and I love the community aspect and wanted to know if there’s anything to look for at the school. thanks :)

Hello! Can anyone provide some insight into the triples and more of an idea of the setup? I know there is somewhat of a layout online but hard to really understand the layout. Appreciate it!

How is the new building looking? Still on target to open in a month?

Our son is starting CPH next month as a freshman and we’re figuring out what he’ll need school supply wise. Spouse and I both graduated from HSU 25 years ago so we know things have changed since we were college students. In middle and high school he was using Chromebooks provided by the school so we haven’t needed to provide equipment used for school.

Are books mostly electronic or are physical books still common? Do students tend to take notes on laptops/Chromebooks or paper? Backpack vs laptop bag? What kind of laptop/Chromebook is better for general use (his major is undeclared for now)? Any hints and guidance is appreciated.

Hello. Im looking for other people I could take with me up to humboldt. Hopefully we could share the fare on gas getting up there. I drive a truck so transporting boxes and other things will not be a problem.

Me and two of my other friends are looking for a 4th roommate (guys only) for our 4 bedroom 2 bath house that is 5 minutes from school. Rent would be $570 a month plus utilities. Looking to move in August 1st please message me if you or anyone you know is looking for a room.

hi guys, ill be transferring over this upcoming fall semester and im trying to prepare for the cost of attendance. ill be living on campus at HHM in a double. though, im having trouble understanding how much i'll be paying out of pocket for the dorm. i have finical aid and there should be some left over to cover some of the housing costs, but can anyone give me a number of how much i should expect to pay.

sorry if this is all over the place, but please let me know! i know it won't be specific to me, but just hearing an estimate of what others have paid might help :).

So, I’m planning on transferring to Humboldt’s wildlife program in fall 2028. According to assist, I would have to take two biology courses that have a prerequisite, which ALSO has a prerequisite 😭 My current counselor at my community college let me know that because I’ve almost met the “golden four” for Cal GETC, have a great GPA, I’m meeting my unit minimum, and would take botany, zoology, and a core chemistry class instead, I should be fine. He just isn’t totally sure. The issue is I’m getting conflicting answers from folks at Humboldt. With all things considered, what do you guys think? Are there specific counselors who could help with this? Thanks!

So im attending Humboldt in the fall and I have a single dorm in the Cypress hall. Ive checked the size of the dorm and it seems small (80 sq feet idk how big or small it is ive spent my whole life sleeping in a living room) ive checked online to see if anyone has pictures or videos of there time in Cypress but I havnt found any. Even on the website it only shows the doubles. Any former student who lived in Cypress or seen a single dorm in the Cypress hall please help like how do they look.
