Here’s my situation…

I am a freshmen at Humboldt State, and maybe it’s part homesick/part not really liking my roomate situation, but my plan is to after this one year here transfer back home to So Lake Tahoe, attend community college, and then go to Davis…

My question is though what are the major differences between Davis and Humboldt, besides being one a university and one a state college? I think that another reason I want to do this is because, honestly, as much as I’ve been having a pretty good time here at Humboldt, its not really the kind of environment I dig. Not only is it raining alot or foggy and dreary, the kind of the people in the area are a little too laid back for my purposes and in my opinion, if you don’t really like the area you’re going to school in then why stick around for JUST the school? I see nothing in that.
I feel like this environment at Humboldt for ME is not conducive to my learning much…even though yes, its really up to me to do that myself.

Davis is closer to home, I know a bit of what to expect from the weather…

I’ve also heard Davis is boring but come ON, its located RIGHT next to Sacramento for crying out loud! I’M living in the sticks!

Can some people just voice their opinions on the situation and give me a little info on Davis?

Has anyone done a similar thing or know of someone who has?
(eg; transferringn back home to a community college after freshman
year of college)

Thanks!
