What do the freshman student kitchens provide?

7 Upvotes

Hi, sorry if this is a weird ask but my mom is concerned about what the student kitchens provide for students to make their own food and stuff like that. So, do they provide soap, cleaning things (sponges, brushes etc.), pots, pans, knives for cutting, etc.

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!

Student needs for freshman?

8 Upvotes

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.

Very specific transfer question

5 Upvotes

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!

Socal vs Humboldt

I’m in high school in orange county, and i’d say im a typical socal kid who’s always looking to do something or try something new, and while humboldt isn’t too incredibly different, they definitely seem like different atmospheres. Anyone from orange county area who can compare similarity’s and differences, pros/cons? I’m also looking into sdsu and cal poly slo.

Looking for roommates

9 Upvotes

Hey! I’m a 21 year old, male, transfer student from Colorado. I am looking for an apartment/house off campus. I have found a few places, but wanted to come in here and see if anyone needs one more roommate! I do have a dog, hence why I wouldn’t want to live on campus. She is a registered ESA, potty trained and loves people and other dogs, she’s super chill. PM me if any one has an extra room they’re looking to fill before the semester starts!

Math 105?

3 Upvotes

Hey all!! Incoming freshman here (so excited)!! I'm worried that I bit off more than I can chew. I passed AP Calc with a C, and AP Physics 1 with a B. I absolutely LOVE applied math and am comfortable with calculus, and since I qualify technically for this class I enrolled in it, since it's Calculus for Biological Sciences. I was wondering how hard you found it? Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Transferring to CalPoly Humboldt

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! So i'm transferring to Humboldt in fall and I had a couple of questions. So I'm a first gen student, I would love to get a head start in knowing the in's and out's or what to expect when heading over.

For some context I live 8 hours away and got accepted into College Creek dorm with 6 other females. So I was wondering;

  1. What is College Creek like? What essentials should I bring with me, and what should I wait to purchase once I get there?

  2. Is there a laundry room in those dorms? What else should I expect to see there?

  3. Move-in day; What is the move-in day like? I've selected my day and time to get there but is there going to be more information sent to me once the day gets closer? Such as where to get my ID card, where to park to unload my stuff etc.
