#ChooseChico

Chico State April 4, 2013

We all know selecting a college is a tough choice. Here at Chico State, we want new students to be sure. That is why we offer an open house and day of activities that will help prospective students decide if Chico is the place for them.

In anticipation of this year’s Choose Chico! event (April 6, 2013), we asked our current students and alumni on Twitter to share why they chose Chico State. The response was overwhelming; Chico is a special place.

Many based their decision on our program offerings:

@chicostate best Journalism/PR program with @TehamaGroup ,not to mention the amazing downtown and beautiful surroundings!

@chicostate I chose Chico State because of the award-winning @theorion_news and because of Dave Waddell.

Some even chose Chico because of a personal connection:
