It’s not worth it to give up UA and a full ride scholarship for Humboldt.
HUmboldt is friendly and has a good environmental science program, it’s mild and humid (essentially, it rains every day from Fall to Spring) rather than cold or hot… but it’s really not worth the price difference. If you want the Pacific Northwest, try to get an internship in Portland or see if there’s a domestic study-away program from UA that would let you spend Spring Semester sophomore year or the summer after freshman year there. Since you get that much financial aid, it means you have access to all kinds of support for research, internship, domestic off campus programs, and study abroad. Take advantage of that. Going to college for free is a gift, don’t throw it away and, rather, use it wisely.
