i got accepted to humboldt, which was my number one school, so i'm pretty stoked. i'm just wondering, how is it like to go to school there? i heard it's nice and small and very green, almost like a college town version of my town is what i've heard. i'm sure i'll get along with people up there as i'm a stoner, have dreads, and a straight acid head. i've heard there's a bunch of chillers and heads up there so that should be fun.
so ya, if you have been to humboldt, what was your experience with it?

Lots of pretentious 'weedsters' too But there is excellent very cheap weed, and good seasonal trimming work that'll make you some decent bucks.
Arcata is an aight place though, for how small it is - it has a pretty cool music scene and what not. Alot of the town is kinda shabby - but has really good food. Weather is pretty meh, expect 60 degrees and fog every day of the entire year.
But what you should be stoked about, are the FUCKING REDWOODS! Fuck everything else in Arcata - none of it comes close 
This is the god damn community park.

Trimming is fun work if you can get on with a good crew that like to have fun and not a bunch of tweekers.

I considered moving there for a little while - the biggest drawback for me, was that the tiniest little shack houses are even like 1,300$+ a month rent... The market is jacked up from indoor growers buying out properties, not 'real' demand. But if you're cool with an apt or dorm then I'm sure its all good.
Also; neighboring town of Eureka has common moniker 'Eurtweaka' treat accordingly.

What's cost of living like out there in arcata, sanch? Looks fucking beautiful and as I understand, the ganja abounds. Could see myself moving out there for a while, though I'm iffy about small towns. Some of them bore or depress the fuck out of me

Arcata is a pretty entertaining town, Eureka is nearby which is a bit of a drug corrupted place but a larger town... Housing prices generally between 1000-1500 for a rental and most tend to be pretty small one level homes built in the 60-70s.

4 On the low end when trimming very dense bud and I'd say about 10 hours on the high end for airy larfy bud, but it definitely varies depending on all sorts of things. Trimmers will oft be paid either 15-20$/hr or 150-250/lb generally.

It's super liberal. You'll find a lot of young people who want to dedicate their careers to helping others and you'll have to sift through all the college bullshit/social media hypes they rally behind. there's a great music scene for up-and-comers. lots of stoners. It's green as hell and there's all the delicious organic food you could ever want for cheap. Have a grat timee
