Ah, Memories... A Retro Recruitment Thread

I guess they figured they'd be able to pull enough students, especially from Camarillo. To my knowledge, a large number of Adolfo Camarillo High School grads end up at CSUCI just because it's so close, and since Cam High's a larger high school they seem to do okay.

You wouldn't believe some of the attitudes towards UCSB in Camarillo, though. I was there last month for a visit, and it can get kind of scary when you ask where people are considering going! I never thought I'd hear "CSUCI, where else is there?" before last month.

EDIT: Then again, many of the people I talked to about it had grown up in Camarillo, so there was a high amount of pressure on them to attend CSUCI. Many of the Cam High students who had moved in partway through high school ended up going to other schools in the state or even other states entirely.
