I loved attending California State University, Sacramento! I found that the campus was so relaxing and beautiful between classes, students were driven and liked working together, professors were helpful, and the tuition was fair for the eduction I received. It was a great commuter campus as well as a great campus for students who lived nearby or on campus. I had great experiences with all of the students and the professors made a significant impact on my life! I highly recommend Sac State! Stingers up!
California State University - Sacramento (Sacramento State) is actually a small campus, which feels like a small community. Everyone on campus is generally nice. In terms of food options, they have a great diversity of food at the Union. Though in terms of Academics, some courses may conflict with others. For example, I would my asynchronous classes actually has a required meeting to attend, although its asynchronous. This class would be during my other classes, which made it difficult to attend. I also don't have a device for it, so the library computers, which are almost always occupied is my main way of attending when I can. Aside from this the Political Science department is great, and professors are generally really nice to talk to. The teaching style most professors have are straightforward, or organized, to be exact. Here's to a good ending on my 6 class finals this spring, as I become a senior next semester, of fall 2024!!
My experience here at sac state has been amazing. The overall image of the school is really fun. The social life for students is also very fun and campus is a great place to hang out and enjoy the outdoors with friends. As for the staff and professors, they are very hands on with students to make sure we succeed. Every professor I have had so far in the past has helped me in every way possible. Sacramento State is full with opportunities for each individual here making it easier for everyone to succeed and really practice what they love doing.
