I have 3 rooms that will be opening up at the beginning of June.

Very close to campus.

Each bedroom has its own restroom.

Rent is $580 + utilities.

There are laundry hook ups but no washer dryer (i'm very down to throw in for a used washer and dryer)

Laundromat is very close

There is already one dog living hear, so pets will be a case by case discussion.

Hello. I was wondering if anyone has earned or finished their MA in Education at Cal Poly Humboldt. I am interested in applying to their online MA program but I was hoping to get some insight and see how everyone's experience was such as the workload, the professors, the classes, how much tuition is, etc. I saw the link to their masters program online and sounds pretty good but would like to have more insight. Please let me know. Thank you!

Do the showers have doors or do we need to provide shower curtains?

Does the frig have an ice maker in freezer? (unlikely but figured I’d ask)

Do we need to bring a dish drainer for the sink?

Do they provide trash cans in bedrooms and kitchen or do we need to provide our own?

Lastly, do they provide a broom in the apt or we bring our own?

I know, all minutia questions but need to know what is needed and what isn’t and I couldn’t anything on the website.
