Colleges.ugh.decision time.help!please?

im deciding between sonoma state and humboldt state.
my mom wants me to go to sonoma, mostly because its closer (about an hour away).
*the pros:
close to home
sunny weather
nice dorms
better reputation

*cons:
-Rohnert Park (the town its in) is sooooo boring!it’s deff not a college town. its in the suburbs and all they have is like a bunch of chainstores. i HATE that kind of environment. and i heard the town is full of a bunch of old people who always call the cops
-commuter campus..half the people leave on weekends, which means i probably will. but i want to go to a college that will be my HOME not a home away from home.

Humboldt
pros:
-downright beautiful campus and area. redwood trees everywhere.
-the smell of fresh, clean air (lots of trees=more oxygen)
-people there are SO nice! just a bunch of chill people
-dont need a car because most things are within walking distance
-residential campus–it will be my home. and i hope to live in that area after i graduate.
-the town is very college friendly–its a college town! lots of college-centered things
-in general, i just love the town its in (Arcata, CA)
-the food is mostly organic and fresh (grown right in the area)

cons:
-bad weather–it rains most of the year :/ (although i dont really care)
-when people think humboldt, they think weed

im not too concerned about the reputations because im going into nursing and they dont really care where you graduate from, employers care more about the grades you got.

ugh!!so hard.
do i go to a school i downright love and cant wait to go to even though it rains
or
do i go to a school my parents favor thats closer to home and has nicer weather?

what would you do in my situation?

Can I please have some Coast Redwood help?

Does anyone live near any Coast Redwood trees with cones? Please anyone? I am going to conduct an experiment to see which seeds are better and by how much. Please, no one has been helping me. You guys are my last chance. I don’t need many cones. Can someone please mail me some cones?

Is Sequoia National Park in California a good place to take young children on vacation?

I am planning a family vacation. I have a 2 and 5 year old. I remember the pictures of people driving through the forest looking at the trees. I am not sure how much hiking and walking will be required.

I would like an outdoor trip for the family. We’ve never been out camping and it is a shame.

If you have any other suggestions it would be appreciated. Keep in mind that the only seasoned camper in our group is my husband. I am not ready to carry 2 kids up a mountain. 🙂
