California State University of Sacramento has a lot of great qualities that I looked for when selecting a college to further my education. It's nursing program is ranked one of the highest programs in the state.

The campus also offers many great resources such as an immaculate gym and wellness center. I am truly blessed to be able to attend such an amazing school and to have been selected into their nursing program.

Luke

I considered going to two other schools. Only Sac State was in the center of a major city. From Sac State, one could take the bus and explore the Downtown and Old Town area. There are plenty of shops, events, and eateries there and it is usually where many students spend a night-on-the-town. The other two schools were not near any major cities so the night life would not be as exciting as Sacramento's.

For my undergraduate studies I decided to live with my parents. This allowed me to have a part-time job while being a full-time student. CSUS was unique for me because it was the only university that I could've attended and still taken advantage of the loving support of my parents. This school is also unique because it is located in the State's Capital where there are many State employment opportunities, as well as, access to the Capital, Legislators, the Governor, and more.

From my experience, students are incredibly involved in the areas in which they are majoring in. They all actively participate and encourage other students to participate in the actitivities that are organized on campus. In addition, I have found the teachers that I have met so far to be extremely good-tempered and approachable; this is one thing I value above everything else is a teacher that is willing to sit down and talk to their students if there are any problems the student may face, and so far, all of the teachers have provided that opportunity to me.

Danielle

CSU Sacramento is a school that is culturally diverse, and I believe that meeting new people from different races and backgrounds will give me a better insight into the business world that I want to enter.

Sacramento State University is a very diverse, welcoming school. Most of the studetns take school more seriously than my Jr. college @ American River College.

I believe that CSUS sacramento is more diverse and is becoming more challenging as the years go by. Students are beginning to face reality of classes, work, and the cuts from the state. I begin to see how the school is trying to grow and be better than other school and now seem like a commuter school, like American River College or Sac City.
