California State University-Sacramento Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Patrick

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.

Anna

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!

Danielle

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.

Katrina

I wish they had more online courses.

Sheila

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.

Claudia

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

Jordan

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.

Brenda

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.
