Humboldt State University is a fairly small institution sandwiched between the Pacific coast and northern California’s magnificent Redwood forests. The surrounding landscape factors heavily into the college experience here, with several programs pertaining to science and natural resources utilizing the surrounding environment for their curriculum.
Humboldt’s hometown of Arcata is a relatively isolated community on the northern California coast, roughly halfway between San Francisco and Eugene, Oregon. Downtown is only a few blocks from campus, with the city’s charming array of specialty shops, cafes, bars, and entertainment venues are clustered around Arcata Plaza.
The neighboring town of Eureka is a bit larger, offering even more variety in terms of dining and nightlife, including a huge and eclectic community of coffeehouses. Massive swaths of preserved wilderness cover the mountains and forests just minutes away from town, giving you direct access to some of the country’s most beautiful landscapes. As icing on the cake, local rentals are often surprisingly affordable, with many apartments, houses, and condos within a short walk of campus that won’t break the bank.
