California State University-Sacramento Top Questions

It is better to get involved on campus because it is a commuter school and a lot of students just attend class and head home. If you join a club you will enjoy the college experience better

I wish I knew more detailed info about the tuition and fees.

One thing that I wish that I had known is how important it is to join clubs and interact with my fellow peers,because college is more than just a place to receive knowledge,but a place to meet new people and learn more about yourself.

I wish I knew of good counselors on campus. When coming to a new school you do not know who to go to for help. So when applying for things or looking for resources on a campus you do not know, makes all the accompishments I want harder to get. I also wish I knew of good programs to get invovled in, studies have shown and proven the more invovled one is, the more successful they will be. That has always worked for me.

I wish I had known more about the graduation requirements before attending CSUS. This would have better prepared me and permitted a shorter stay at CSUS. Adjusting to the graduation requirements with new California budget cuts is difficult but achievable. More notification of these requirements would have saved a myriad amount of time.

Sacramento State is one of the largest state universities in California with over 23,000 students. It would have been helpful to be forewarned of the school’s large population especially if a student is not familiar with such a large campus. During the first three weeks of school, most if not all the clubs and organizations are in the quad area to advertise to the students. For a freshman attending the school, it caused me to be disorientated as to where I even was on campus because of all the hype and activity from the booths and tables.

Just wished the counselors helped me prepare when I was in High school. Would have saved me some time.

I wish I had known it was going to be more like a commuter school and that it was going to be difficult to make friends.

How to get involved in school/club activities.

I wish I had known the level of apathy students have here. It seems like most truely do not care about their grades. A common motto and thought patternaround campus is " C's and even D's get degrees". Knowing that people felt this way about their education would have been nice to know beforehand.
