Keep in mind that I lived there for about 4 years so I was a bit jaded when I left. Most people will not experience any trouble in Chico. It is worse than you would expect for such a small college town though. The cops are much more concerned with busting college kids having parties than stopping the real problem, which is crime AGAINST college kids. The Police Chief tried to blame a 50% increase in aggravated assault from one year to the next on an increase in student population. I don't know the increase in student population for that time frame, but it sure as fuck wasn't 50%. Sorry to go off on a tangent, as you can probably tell, I could bitch about what's wrong with Chico all day lol. Still a great town though, just wish the Police force would keep it that way.
Anyways, Chico is still a drop ass party/college town. However for a mid 30s player I think Santa Barbara would be a better option. More upscale and a bit more of a mixed crowd. Chico is straight broke college kids 18-25. I believe Santa Barbara will have the same, but also upscale venues with high class girls. I was young when I was there though so can't say for sure, hopefully someone else can weigh in.

Watch your ass walking home at night. Hate to make a place sound dangerous, but Chico is getting worse and worse. I know several people who were personally jumped, mugged and even one girl robbed at gunpoint right on campus. One of my good friends got KOd from behind and woke up in the ER with his wallet stolen. A guy shot two people inside of LaSalles, where lots of my friends work and go every weekend. A guy was shot and killed outside of Normal Street just a few years ago. The problem is it's not like where in most places where bad shit is contained to bad areas, in Chico this shit happens where the college kids are due to wannabe gangsters coming up from surrounding towns to party
Yo Ibaguesucks305, here is another comparison for you. If you compare Manizales to what RioNomad posted in another thread about Chico, Manizales should be a breeze. Sounds like I would much rather do Manizales than Chico state, I've never had to watch my back like that in any clubs in Manizales. Damn. Too bad, I really wanted to check that place out, but it does not sound like a spot for a mid 30's player to get some college pussy easily like Manizales.
