Attending Humboldt State University and choosing to major in Physics has been one of the most important and beneficial decisions I have ever made. The faculty are fantastic educators, the curriculum is challenging and rewarding, it has intimate upper division class sizes, and there is ample opportunity to gain research experience if you want it.

Alexandra McGee, Anthropology, 2011

Submitted: October 4, 2012

I've transformed from a Humboldt Lumberjack to a Berkeley Bear. I have just started my first semester of graduate school as a Latin American Studies masters student. My last semester at HSU, I took an engineering course with Lonny Grafman which got me really excited about small-scale energy projects, particularly how they relate to community participation, rural development, energy independence and environmental sustainability.

At the same time, I've put my anthropology skills to use, moving into a Tibetan Buddhist Monastery to live with a high lama.

I'd love to hear from you. If you want to know more about my adventures, check out my blog:
