College of the Redwoods

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
The College of the Redwoods should not be confused with the similarly named College of the Sequoias in the San Joaquin Valley city of Visalia, California.

College of the Redwoods (CR) is a public two-year community college whose main campus, comprising , is located on the southernmost edge of Eureka in Humboldt County, California. This sprawling site is spacious and distinctive in its modernist use of massive, exposed wood support beams in each structure. Situated on a man made shelf carved out of low hills, it has a commanding view of ranch land, the Humboldt Bay Wildlife Refuge, and the southern portion of Humboldt Bay. Many students are drawn to its natural setting, nestled into a redwood forest. Current enrollment in the Spring of 2009 is 6,774 students (at all sites in the extensive district).

Curriculum specialties

The college offers a variety of transfer, vocational, and community-based classes, including its world-famous Fine Woodworking Program started by master woodworker James Krenov, a Police Academy, Nursing and Dental Programs, Truck Driving School, ever-evolving Computer Information Sciences, Computer-Aided Drafting, and Digital Media Departments, and the new, (added in 2006), Hospitality, Restaurant and Culinary Arts Program. The college is named after the Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) trees native to the region.

Satellite campuses

CR has two satellite campuses: CR Del Norte in Crescent City, Del Norte County; and CR Mendocino Coast in Fort Bragg, Mendocino County. CR also has other off-campus sites, including the Arcata Instructional Site, the Eureka Downtown Instructional Site, the Bianchi Farm and the Klamath-Trinity Instructional Site on the Hoopa Valley Tribe reservation.

== History ==

The original Redwoods Community College District was formed in 1964 by a vote of the people of Humboldt County. In 1975, residents of the coastal portion of Mendocino County voted to join the District, and in 1978 Del Norte County similarly joined. The college serves these areas, as well as a portion of Trinity County.

Best Answer

For your General Ed it doesn't matter at all. I went to College of the Redwoods for my GE and like it (Originally from San Jose). The small town thing was fun for the time. CR was nice because the campus was beautiful and had great instructors. The weather is pretty mild. And the ocean is across the highway. If you want focus to plow through your 2 years, I'd go with CR. The city can be full of distractions (another reason why I went up there). Though I'm a city girl at heart.
