What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
The advice I would give myself would have been to stay focused on my studies instead of worrying about my social life. I would remind myself that academics leads to my future along with helping me become successful. Remember the one thing my mom always said, " This is your future it is now time to become serious and realize that you are an adult."

Describe how your school looks to someone who's never seen it.
Fresno State University campus is a great place to study and to have a successful education. It provides students with quiet places where we can study. Not only that but also many clubs and organizations where us students can be involved, that gives us the opportunity to also enjoy college and most likely graduate. The tutoring Fresno State is helpful; it helps students with any course they might have difficulties in. Math is my worst subject and with the tutoring Fresno State offers I was able to pass the class.

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
To tell the truth as of right now, I'm not sure what is really the worst thing about for Fresno State because for the past year in a half I was able to be involved with the school. One thing I can say is the worst part, is actually myself because I don't take advantage of the time they give us to do class assignment, but other than that the school has been great for myself.

What is your overall opinion of this school?
Fresno State is a great university that helps you succeed and meet new people along the way. The best thing about this school is that the faculty and staff are always willing to help their students. If I were to change one thing about this school it would be to add more classes. Unfortunantely, Fresno State took a hard hit with this economical downfall and has had to endure many budget cuts. Since I commute to school, I have not experienced much of the "college town," although friends tell me its great! The library and student union is open til late and you always find students cramming for their finals, or just hanging out after a stressful week of midterms! Overall, the school is great and I have yet to come across a problem or situation that would discourage me from coming to Fresno State.

What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?
Many people believe that Fresno State is "not such a good school", and that students who pick Fresno State over other schools are "settling".
This is FALSE.
Like every other university, you have a mix of people, and a mix of motivation and achievement levels. However, we have many intelligent students, including those who graduated high school with GPAs above 4.0s. Fresno State students have gone far and become very successful- we have had graduates that went on to become NASA astronauts, educators, judges, CEOs... and so much more!

What are the academics like at your school?
Academics are a major deal at Fresno State. As I had mentioned before, the faculty and staff at Fresno State are always willing to help! After the first few weeks of class, the professors start recognizing faces and even start calling you by their names! Although, this is not necessarily true for the GE classes that are held in larger settings. Study groups are also a big thing at state. Students are provided with spacious study room in the library to hold study sessions with large groups. We also have a lot of different clubs on campus that are made up of students who hold the same interest as others. This is a great way to meet new people and learn about potential grad schools and even Med School!

What are the most popular student activities/groups?
There are many groups people can become a part of! We have a variety of clubs, sororities/fraternities, athletic teams, honor societies, and of course- marching band!
At Fresno State, marching band is an experience different from anything someone may have experienced in high school. The band consists of 300 members coming from all types of backgrounds, and all types of mentalities. But regardless of initial beliefs about band, the band becomes one and forms into a wonderful thing to be a part of. When I first became a part of the band, I felt a bit of culture shock. I had a background that was very serious, and the environment was very competitive. Here, everything was different! It didn't matter where you were from, it mattered that you were here now. And the band was fun to be around, and the games were a blast! Unlike high school, which often does not appreciate band to the full extent, here, we are welcomed- and appreciated. The athletic directors and sports players often stop by to say hello, and fans at the game are super excited when the band comes marching in :) The band here also hosts its own competition for the high schools, and participates in Band Day. During Band Day, thousands of students from local high schools perform at a Fresno State Football game with the band, and they have an awesome experience. Other than just the "band aspect" of band, there is a wonderful community aspect. In times of pride and joy, the band celebrates together. In times of tragedy, the band comes closer together. Honestly, I can't imagine how my first three years of Fresno State would have been if I hadn't been a part of the BMB.
For the none-band members, we also have various dance groups that perform a few times during the semester, we have choral groups that tour around the state, we have department honor societies, a variety of volunteer opportunities, and even a club that plays different types of board games every Friday night.
