California State University - Sacramento
“I am a Bay Area native.Not so brightOther
I am a Bay Area native. I had been to Sacramento before but didn't really care for the atmosphere but decided to give it another try. The academics here (in the Photography program so far) are good. That is one thing that i can say about Sac State is that there are a lot of resources available for you such as tutoring, to help you if you are having trouble. My professors have been helpful so far.
The reason why I give it a negative review is not because of the academics but because of the students and the city itself.
Like I said earlier I am from the bay area and Sacramento even though only about 2 hous away is extremely different. I was suprised about the closeminded and arrogant attitudes a lot of the students have. Most of the students are from Sacramento and have not been anywhere else. There is not much "diversity" as they claim to have. (Mostly white, Asian, and Mexican) and there is not much to do in the surrounding area. Sacramento lacks a culture.
I am a instate student so I will finish my GE's here than off to the South I go!!!If you are from Sacramento don't go here. I recommend you go somewhere outside of northern Ca. experience something different.

“Many people that decide to major in mathMath
Many people that decide to major in math at Sac State do so because they have had an easy time in math thus far (up through Differential Equations); however, even though this school is a CSU, don't be fooled. A common thing that I hear from UC Davis grads (that are doing their masters at CSUS) is that the classes here are just as hard or harder than Davis.

“Sac State is a good quality school withAverageBusiness - Management and Administration
Sac State is a good quality school with friendly and helpful teachers. The transition from high school was suprisingly easy. The atmosphere is very laid back and the students are very friendly and approachable. The only bad thing is that outside the classroom, there is really not much going on. Everyone pretty much goes home after class and there are few activities and social events. But aside from that, I would highly recomend this school to anyone looking for a quality, not too challenging education in a friendly environment without distractions and drama.
