Why Humboldt
I feel really supported because my department chair is always looking out for me. She lets me know about internships and scholarships. When I graduate I want to go back home to Los Angeles. There’s such a huge problem with air pollution and I hope to help solve it. But right now, I am designing a rollercoaster in one of my programming classes. It’s really fun.Roxana Flores, First in family to graduate from college
Environmental Resources Engineering Student
Humboldt's rural coastal setting near forests, rivers and mountains is conducive to studying natural resources problems. Average class sizes are small, with most classes under 24 students. Students apply their knowledge on real community projects while still in school. The small student body of about 7000 students contains members of more than 40 tribes and HSU is within 60 miles of three of California's largest Native American tribes. INRSEP is unique in 23 campuses of CSU System making HSU the university of choice for Native American students.
