California State University-Sacramento Top Questions

Its not really bad but what bugs me alot is the fact that the nursing program at sacramento state is highly competative and impacted. Not only is it competative and impacted at Sacramento State but it is so everywhere else. But that shouldn't be the reason to not attend this school. I think of it as a way to push me to my limit to try harder and to do my best in order to provide the nursing department a willing, strong, and dedicated individual.

Sac State is a commuter school, so students don't have the same sense of community and school spirit that is typical at other universities.

California State University, Sacramento is just as much a commuter school as a large university. Although many people attend Sacramento State from places far away, there are also many students who attend from the Sacramento area and commute to school. This leads to not as much activity, both during the week and over weekends.

Not enough food variety

The majority of students commute to campus from the surrounding Sacramento area. The campus dies off around 6:00 PM and is completely dead Friday through Sunday. If more students were to live closer to campus there would be a more positive school spirit on campus.

The classroom buildings, because they are outdated and in need to be repaired and expanded. Some class rooms will be too small for the class size and there is not accessibility to newer technology.

Parking is very hard to find and expensive. It's a commuter campus and they charge $5 for parking no matter how long you're there and there is minimal temporary parking.

When I can't get into my classes, because there are so many few classes offered.

The worst thing about my school is the size. Sacramento State has over 28,000 students and growing. It's easy to get lost in the crowd.

However, CSUS is a commuter school and most of the students seemed to have full time jobs. Since the academic standards seem low most students do just what they have to do to get a grade and get out. If academic requirements and standard of grading were more stringent I would have gotten more out of my educational experience.
