“The University system is geared to accommodate aAverageSocial Work
The University system is geared to accommodate a variety of students with varying degrees of educational backgrounds. There were very few exams given in this program which I believe does the student a disservice because they are not really challenged in their understanding of the topic being taught.
Some of the professors are respectful of the diverse population in the program and do not incooperative their personal agenda into the the classroom lectures. They taught their subject, which is what their paid to do. A few professors used the classroom as their personal platform to influence their (mostly) young students. If social work is your passion then by all means do not let the negativity of a few professors affect your future. Keep on and finish and take what material you can use and leave the rest, especially the insults against people of faith and conservative, believe me they are not always both. I am, but others are not and that is their right. Become a social worker because it is your passion!

“Overall, it was a great institution.Geography and Geosciences
Overall, it was a great institution. The faculty and the campus environment were great. I had few professors that used TA's in their classes, in fact, I can only think of one undergraduate course where their was even a TA present.
People tend to say it is a commuter campus just because most students live off campus, however, over 75% of students live within walking distance. It is by no means a commuter school, it doesnt even havea commuter school feel, people still go to class in their PJ's or look tore up from a night of drinking.
Athletics on campus are great, don't listen to anyone that says otherwise. If you go to the football and basketball games you're sure to have a great time, besides, the teams can use all the support they can get.Word to the wise if thinking on attending here, it is VERY disrespectful to wear another institutions colors or logo while on campus. I can't stress that enough, it's no different than spitting in your fellow students' faces, so I would advise you not to do it.

“I went to Sac State for a fewQuite BrightEconomics
I went to Sac State for a few years then transferred out of state to finish at a real university. This place was a complete joke. I pretty much slept through my freshman year and still got a 4.0.
About 70% of the faculty were cool and helpful. The other 30% are bitter that they're teaching at such a small time school. They'll take it out on their students - make condescending statements to the class, grade incredibly inconsistently, make insane ramblings and call them lectures, etc.Further, it's definitely a commuter school. Unless you're from the Sacramento area and have family/friends around, don't expect any sort of fun.
