    Get past the party school stigma - there is much more to Chico than that. BEAUTIFUL campus, historic buildings, in my opinion the best-looking campus in the CSU system. Don't care much for the town though; it seems very one-sided (it is primarily a college town). Has good programs (I hear) in Agriculture, Business, Communications, Journalism, Music Technology, and Nursing. Give it a shot! The worst that can happen is that you don't like it. read full review
