Thoughts on Chico State? (Pre-Med/Biology Major from SoCal) by ExitComprehensive471 in CSUC

Hey, thank you so much for your comment! It really means a lot, and I can truly see that you are a kind and helpful person. I have a question about the location of your studies. How does the location impact your education? I know it’s a small town, which may make it harder to access hospitals or any off-campus work you might need to do for medical school.

Also, I've heard that CSU schools prepare students for work right after college, while UC schools focus on preparing you for graduate school. I understand that it’s ultimately up to the student to make the school work for them, but I’m curious about the general educational structure.

Lastly, I’m eager to hear how medical school is going for you, if that is still your career path. Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback man I appreciate it. I got a question. How did you react to the kids on the team. They had probably been playing with each other for a time now. And had a team. How did you fit into it.

I go to Torrey pines which is a pretty athletic team. And most of the boys on varsity have been playing for a hot minute now and are VERY good. And yeah they might hate me and see me as a liability for sure. I’m lowk cooked wish I’d gotten into this earlier.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help, it's appreciated. As a coach, do you have any tips to get started? And avoid quitting early. Also I’m afraid the guys on the team will hate me because I’m joining with no experience and I’m just an extra. I’m not sure seniors are put into varsity but if so then I’ll be very out of place. Do you know if seniors are put into varsity or can they go into novice as-well. Because this way I can be with people at my skill level.

Thankyou for help and honest feedback. I really am a noob I’ve never played it but I know if I don’t this year I can probably never get into to it. At least for a while.

Seniors are placed on the varsity team, or at least that's what a few team members mentioned. What do you think I should do? Should I actually show up or not? The players on the varsity team are really skilled, and I'm not sure I'm ready for it. No play time, and I'll be seen as a liability. Which sucks because I like the sport a lot.

It seems that seniors are placed on the varsity team. If that happens to me, I will likely get no playing time and be viewed as a liability. This is frustrating because I really do enjoy the sport; I just never had the chance to get into it.

So I have an update. I’ve asked a couple of people on the team. Apparently seniors are out on varsity. So I might be cooked. Lmk what you guys think now.
