University Spotlight – DormYear.com

In this article we talk to Chico State Alumni, Warren Cain. Chico State is a beautiful campus that is located north of Sacramento. I want to say it’s about 90-100 miles north of Sacramento, but I could be wrong. I, personally, believe Chico State is one of the most beautiful campuses in the world. The campus isn’t too big, nor is it too small. On your walk to class, you can cross multiple beautiful bridges that hover above the beautiful Big Chico Creek. You can also find many beautiful trees to lounge around in between classes. The City of Chico also happens to be a fun college town, and the campus happens to be located in downtown of this fun college town. So, if you’re looking for a bite to eat or some refreshments to sip on, you don’t have to go far off campus. For first year students, I highly recommended that you dorm.. There are multiple residence halls that all offer something different. If you’re a transfer student, I would recommend Sutter Hall (which is changing to Estom Jamani Hall). This building is mixed with freshman students along with transfer students. It is a newer building, making it look more modern and overall nicer (in my opinion) than the other dorms. If you’re a Freshman student, I would recommend Whitney Hall. I believe Whitney Hall is the most social and fun dorm (again, just my opinion). Here is a list of just a few of my favorite restaurants that I enjoyed while in Chico. There’s many, many more, but these are the spots that came off the top of my head. I’ll maybe add more as I go. But I highly recommend ya’ll try these spots if you’re lucky enough to be in Chico while reading this, or have plans to visit! 1.)Madison Bear Garden – They sell great food, such as burgers, fries, hot dogs, wings, and more. My favorite burger is either the signature Bear Burger, which contains thousand island, “bear-b-que” sauce, lettuce, pickles, and tomato, or the Jiffy Burger which is a burger that contains bacon and peanut butter. If it’s your first time, I’d recommend the Bear Burger. My favorite thing about The Bear (nickname for this establishment) is the cool atmosphere of the restaurant. Check it out when you get the chance, it’s literally right next to campus. 2.) Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. – I’m sure you’ve had some refreshing Sierra Nevada beers before. If you want to sip on a cold Sierra Nevada in the place where they’re brewed, you must definitely check this place out. You can sign up for a brewery tour if you want to check out the beautiful spot, while learning about the history, and sampling some refreshing beer. The place is a beautiful place to go sip on some cold ones while enjoying a nice meal. Yes, this place serves food as well. (Must be 21 to drink alcohol). 3.) Morning Thunder Cafe – This is a must try breakfast spot as well. They sell delicious, generous portion sized breakfast items. Whatever your favorite breakfast food is, they’ll probably have it. The cafe is also nice, and cute. I spent a good chunk of my life living in New York, and this place kind of made me feel like I was in a diner in NYC. 4.) Mom’s – This is another yummy breakfast spot. This place is super popular, and I guarantee you that most Chico State students will say this is their favorite breakfast spot.
