California State University-Sacramento Top Questions

I wish that I have out more about their leadership initiative program from the student government because I can definitely obtain more than I would when it comes to searching for my dream job. But it is not that bad since most students have prior experience in leadership maybe from high school.

How big the campus is! I got pretty lost the first time I tried to get accross it. Luckily I wasn't in a hurry!

I wish I would have know how to effectively study before going to college. In high school, the subjects came fairly easy to me and I didn't have to study much. Once I entered college, I had no idea how to really study for an exam. It took me about two and a half years to learn how to effectively study.

I wish they had more online courses.

How big it was! Coming over from a local community college, the comparison was staggering! CSUS is massive in comparison! Getting to classes takes some good scheduling, planning and excellent time management, but having a bike helps a lot too!

There are some things that I wish I had known before I came to Sacramento State. I wish that I had gathered techniques to make new friends such as leaving my door open in the dorm room during the first week in order to make new friends. I would also have invested my time looking into local businesses that were offering internships so I could have applied early and create a relationship with local businesses. I would learn skills in networking. I would also join more than one club, especially one regarding my major.

I wish i had known how to take better notes because you have to take a lot of notes.

Personally I wish that I knew that it would be this difficult to get classes. Thankfully I have been getting the classes I need this semester but last semester it was very difficult and caused me a pretty hefty headache. I think I just wish I knew how difficult the beaurocracy was. You need to know exactly what you need to complete becasue a lot of the time no one else can really help you as well as you yourself can.

I wish i would have known i was going to have to pay tuition. I would have searched for summer jobs, or saved my money for future bills and rent. I also wish i would have known how impacted this school is, this semester i got classes i did not even want, unfortunatley i was not able to take statistics nor chemistry. Math and science have got to be the most impacted departments there are.

I would of love to find out more information about scholarships, as well other things like acadamic clubs and the real life style as a student here, like a typical day for an engineering major.

I wish I would have known how much tuition at California State University Sacramento was going to change due to budget cuts.

I wish I had known how much FAFSA would be able to lend me. That way I could have better prepared myself for the tuition costs. In the present economy, it is very dificult to find a job. So, making ends meet has been a challenge, what with tuition, books, and miscellaneous purchases such as gas.

I wish I had known that I needed to have two semesters of college language or 3 years of language in high school. I would also have liked to know that I would be needing to take three upper division classes. The nursing program is very intense and does not leave extra time for additional classes so now I will need to take summer school as well as the winter session. I also wish I had started to save every extra penny while I was able to work because the costs are so high.

When making your class schedule try to keep the classes together so you don't have huge gaps in between classes.

I wish I had known more about on campus jobs and career networking. I also wish I had known about work study opportunities and scholarships.

I wish I knew that you needed to finish area C before coming to Sacramento State University or else they will require you to take a World Civilization class.

Before I transferred to Sac State from Virginia Commonwealth University I came on an official visit. I feel as though Sac State met my expectations as a school. I do wish I would have known that there is not much of a community on campus. I wish I had known Sacramento was not really a college town and was a huge commuter school. I love being involved with my school and my classmates. I feel as though there isn't much opportunity on campus for any of that.

I wish had paid more attention to the general education requirements. I completed most of them, but had to take care of a couple in order to get into upper division courses. I also wish that I'd tried harder in high school math. I had to take 3 semesters of math in college before I could take the math class that would be transferable to Sac State. So, in the long run, a few months of adolescent laziness cost me a year and a half of my time.

Surprisingly, before I chose to attend Sacramento State, I had not even vistied it. All I knew was that my friend said the campus was amazing and they had a great physical therapy program. I was one of the lucky people; I ended up really enjoying myself during the first semester of college. I actually have gotten very involved in the last semester; I'm in Residence Hall Association and I am a member of Sigma Kappa. I wish I had known that there were not Sorority and Fraternity Houses at the school.

Before attending Sacramento state college i wish i knew about the tuition fee and the lack of classes available. That there where almost no classes available towards the major that i'm interested in. The lack of help that is given to new students and the obsticles to go through for simple questions regarding certain fields.
