Although I had already basically made up my mind to go to HSU, the trip cemented my future. The school's beauty and small size impressed me, and the overwhelming beauty of the surrounding area, with sunsets like this, stole my breath. I am so happy I made the decision to go here! #HSU #humboldtstate •
