Here’s a link to their cycling page, including scholarships. My son’s was fairly small but, not insignificant and is a nice feather in his cap. One of the cool things about the team is that they take all comers. (not unlike HS through NorCal and SoCal NICA leagues) There are some races you need to earn your way into but, anybody can train with the team and race in a couple of races. Their first race is this weekend and my son has been training really hard - while acclimatizing to the 6500 ft elevation there . needless to say, he is really psyched.

UNR is another WUE school with a very strong team. here’s a link to the CA league where you can find the full list of schools with teams. I’ve put a lot of time into researching this topic so, PM me if you have specific questions. http://www.wcccycling.org/index.html

My older son LOVES Chico - (they also have a team) He will graduate in December. He entered as an Econ major in their honors program but, decided neither was for him. He’s now a finance major and stopped the honors program half way through soph year. He loves the whole ‘college town’ thing and is trying to figure out what’s next.

I am a huge believer that - if you try - you’ll learn far more outside the classroom than in. Even if they had chosen our local CSU, they’d have still dormed as freshmen. My older son has several friends at the local CC (4 years later) and a couple at the local CSU. None of them engage in the campus (clubs, sports and other on campus events). No fault of our local CSU (my alma mater) but, they aren’t getting nearly as much from their college experience - haven’t made new relationships and are just checking the boxes in an effort get their degree, it is taking all of them a long time and they aren’t having much fun. I also think they will have to learn important life lessons in a less forgiving environment than college. Obviously, living away isn’t practical for everyone but, you can go to a few football games, join an IM team, the Marketing club and a frat or whatever to try out some new things, meet a diverse group of peers and give you the sense of community I think is so important to the college experience.
