California State University-Sacramento Top Questions

Describe your favorite campus traditions.

Nataliya

My advice for California State University students is to never give up, study a whole week before a test and not to miss any days of school. Don't let a teachers personality or teaching style be a negative influence on you. Study hard and stay away from being lazy because you will regret it. Always be positive, strong willed, and enthusiastic and you will get ahead of everyone else this way. Don't let an "f" or a bad experience hinder you, get above that and you will build persistence, strength and character that will guide you toward success.

CSU Sacramento has the best programs to choose from of all California. The top two would be Criminal Justice and the Business Programs offered. With these programs, they can get a person to very high parts in life regarding to their careers. The ability to learn past the basic college level of these subjects, are extrodinary. Just because of the fact that at this University, students can learn more than they ever expected of knowing. Programs like these, makes me feel greatly appreciated to be a student at California State University of Sacramento.

Carolyn

California State University at Sacramento used to be known for their student teacher ratios, and their student focus. I found this to be true in many of my classes, but only in those not related to my major. I majored in Speech Pathology and Audiology, and I found the classes to be massively bloated and the instructors overwhelmed. My graduating class had seventy-two students in it, which for some majors isn’t a big deal, however, in a social/science field like speech pathology where understanding of the basics of language development is essential smaller classes are needed.

Rachel

CSUS is a large school with around 27,000 students, and a wide variety of majors. My school would probably be known for the large, beautiful campus with lots of trees, and there are many many squirrells that people enjoy watching. Sometimes they will come right up to you and beg for food.

Tessa

Sac State is best known for our Criminal Justice program and its "commuter" status. Many students live locally and drive to campus which makes parking difficult during some parts of the day. Some programs, like Design, pre-law, pre-med, and pre-nursing, are very difficult to get into, but the limited programs are very effective for those that get in. Sac State has been impacted before, which makes getting classes needed for a semester very difficult sometimes. Many students are placed on wait lists and a spot is never guaranteed.

My school known for being a commuter school. A lot of students come and go they are from all around the area some make long drives to get to school each day.

Kayla

CSUS is a commuter school. Most students do not live on campus. I studied Child Development during a time when early care and education classes at the community colleges and the child development classes at CSUS were very disconnected. Today there is a bridge between the two types of colleges whereby the practices taught at the community colleges and theory taught at the University are very closely tied together.

Sacramento State is best known for being the primary college in the capital city of California, and a place where someone is able to recieve an affordable and high quality education. An with that education there are plenty of options in this city for employment.

Yolanda

Located in the state capital, CSU Sacramento offers many opportunities for off-campus jobs and internships in government. The school has a large business department and an excellent career center that strives to give their students a head start in their fields of study while they are still attending college. Another thing I love about my school is the campus itself. Sacramento is known as "the city of trees" and the campus does not disappoint. The grounds are shaded by a canopy of trees throughout the year. Taking a stroll and watching the squirrels is my favorite way to relax.

Daniil

Our Engineering department is one of the best in the nation. HP Computers come out and recruit our engineers after graduation. Criminal Justice is popular, as well. It is the second largest program in the United States. Finally, it's trees are pretty impressive. 3000 trees, all native to California.

California State University-Sacramento is best known for its prime location. Situated roughly between San Francisco and Tahoe, CSUS is a great place to learn with plenty of opportunities. Being minutes away from the central hub that is downtown Sacramento, CSUS students get a up close and personal look at the political arena that shapes the great state of California. Also, many major companies have offices in Sacramento and they look to the graduates of CSUS when they need to fill vacancies.
