| College of the Siskiyous, one of the most beautiful community college campuses in California, is located at the base of majestic Mount Shasta. This 250-acre campus is easily accessible from Interstate 5 and Highway 97 in the town of Weed. The College is widely recognized for its excellent programs in the humanities and arts, the sciences and technology, and in athletics. The setting, a natural environment of mountains, forests, lakes, and streams, serves as an outdoor workshop for many classes such as art, geology, the life sciences, and physical and recreational education. Opportunities for outdoor recreation and sports abound: hiking, camping, running, swimming, bicycle touring and mountain biking, rock and mountain climbing, hunting, fishing, and boating. Rafting and kayaking on nearby whitewater rivers such as the Klamath and McCloud are special attractions. In winter, there is superb downhill and cross-country skiing, and snowboarding on beautiful Mt. Shasta. Student housing is available on-campus in residence halls. Inexpensive housing is also available off-campus and in nearby communities.
