CSUS is welcoming and very hands-on. Not only do students excel academically, but they also learn practical experiences. So basically when a student graduates, they will be prepared with the book knowlegde and have hands-on experience.

Courtney

The best thing about my school is the amount of people with common interests. No matter what you are interested in, there is always someone who shares that interest. This is important to me because it is nice to share things with other people that you otherwise would not have been introduced to, and provides you with people who understand you and what you like.

Jeorgie

The best thing about Sac State is that it has a lot of social opportunities, such as joining a sorority/fraternity or clubs. It is also relatively inexpensive compared to other colleges and it is located in a nice area.

Erika

The best thing about Sac. State is that it's very diverse and have professors that care for their students. Last semester many of them offered extra credit for their classes. I know that there are time when students don't do well in an assignment and with the extra credit they make up for their mistake.

I really enjoy how fresh and green the campus is. Every where you go there are trees, nice cut grass, and picnic tables right in the middle of it for studying. The teachers all have a sense of humor (appropriately) and respond to your questions in a timely manner. I LOVE the new gym, called The Well; I go there three times or more a week! I also enjoy being a part of the Accounting Society because its given me the opportunity to meet new friends and experience one on one conversations with Accounting Firms from all over the area.

The professors at CSUS are great! They take the extra step to get to know their students and to be available to students in need. It is easy to tell that they have a belief in and love for education.

The teachers and administrators that are associated with a specific discipline are very focused on their students success. They care about their students both academically and emotionally. They are there to help the students fully understand the material rather than just memorizing it for the upcoming test.

They were able to answer lots of question students had, and they gave advices to succeed in school and how to make to most out of it. At the end of the day, they accounced that they were not paid to be here but here to help us. I was amazed that on their vacation days they came out to help students like to me to succeed in school.

This year, I was able to take classes towards my major. All my journalism professors were extroadinary. They had enough experience to really teach students and even share their experiences working in the field. These professors didn't give up in teaching their students and gave extra efforts outside of classtime. Whenever I had questions, they were available to help me anytime. Sac State contains many incrediable professors that really shape students lives and help them pass the class.

Courtney

The Professors are easy to talk to and are always there to help. Plus the campus is very pretty with open lawns with plenty of trees and some wildlife.

Sierra

The campus is by far the most becoming feature of the school. The city of Sacramento is known for its multitude of trees, and Sacramento State is no exception. It is breathtaking to walk through the quads during fall, quite literally in the case of the Ginko trees. With the large expanse of space they have provided to enjoy them, there is no better place to study, listen to a speech, or join a rally, than our beautiful campus.

Julia

At CSU Sacramento there are so many people and programs to help students stay on top of their classes and homework. One program that I am in is EOP, Educational Opportunity Program, and it has helped me out so much in my transition to college. They provide a computer room for only EOP students which is a great help when it comes to printing out papers or finishing up an assignment. The counselors at EOP are also very helpful when it comes to picking classes, getting involved with school, and just when we need to talk.

Terasa

The availability of resources and information to better your learning experience for undergraduate and beyond.

Yevgeniy

When I was going to high school, the teachers would always tell us how the professors in college would not care if we passed their courses and that they would fail us if we missed an important assignment. I started my first semester with the anticipation of having to put up with horrific instructors. The first week of school had completely changed my mind. All of my professors wanted me to succeed,they had office hours for extra help and answered my questions. Dr. Barrena has even influenced me to sign up for the S.E.E. program.

Julie

The best thing about my school is its' diversity. Having a very diverse population allows students to understand each other's differences and teaches them to respect the differing cultures no matter how different they may be.

I really like the campus of my school and the people there. I was from a small city and going into sacramento was a big change for me, but once I started going to school everyone was really friendly and I felt really comfortable at my school even if I have only been attending it for one semester. The campus is really beautiful and full with life.

The best thing about Sacramento State is the availability of the school facilities and free services. The school library is open late (closes at around 11PM) which is helpful for students who cannot get there during the day. There is a building called the AIRC that is open 24 hours a day where students can access computers. The health facility offers many free services for students including medical exams, X-Rays, HIV testing, eye exams, and psychological counseling. These services and facilities are helpful when students like myself are already stressing over assignments and money.

Ann

Sacramento State University is one of the most multicultural universities I have seen. The acceptance towards minorities and the interest by students in other cultures made me feel right at home- I am an international student. The classes stress the importance for intercultural activities and understanding making the learning experience much more valuable than a simple lecture.

Sandra

This is a great school for practical learning, resulting in a good career.

Gary

Location and Cost. Location because it is only 35 miles away from home and cost because with loans and scholarships i can afford to go to school without getting into too much debt.

Nicolette

The campus is beautiful and almost everyone is friendly. It's close to everything. Sac State has a ton of options for classes and extra curriculars. Classes are not intimidating and access to your professor is easy. It's a large campus, in both student population and physical properties. This feature is only a positive. The student population is large enough to blend in, yet small enough to stand out- depending on your intention! The campus itself is also a perfect size.

Jazmin

I think the best thing about Sac State is the fact that most classes are small. This allows the students to have more one on one interaction with their peers and professors.

The best thing about my school is that there is diversity among the students. It is only a 20 minute drive from my home.

The campus is beautiful. There are beautiful, lush green trees everywhere . Many students rest and form study groups under the trees and in the areas surrounded by the trees. The campus also has a computer access for students in almost every building. The campus has buildings on campus that are open 24 hours for students to study and access computers. The campus has a program called safe rides that enables CSUS students to get safe rides from clubs, bad dates, automotives problems and anything else.
