The counseling is minimal. Keep track of your classes and have a plan for your major and what you hope to accomplish while attending the school.

Before school, I wish I had known how to select the classes I would need even with an undeclared major. It was so hard to register for classes, not knowing what you are interested in and what you want to be in the future. The best opinion that the representitive of Sacramento State University can supply was to take general education courses that relate to some of my interests. I am a person who have to experience first before I can decide what my major really is. Registering for classes is hard but experience can make a difference.

I wish I would have taken the initiative in high school to research careers. At that time I was not mature enough to realize I had the chance to seize the oppurtunity.

I really wish I would of had a better idea on how the school system is structured; prerequisites and unit transfers. Most of all I wish I had a better sense of self

Sierra

The thing that would have helped me the most as an incoming freshman onto this campus, would have been the difficulty level of many of the classes found at Sacramento State University. It didn?t take them long to whip me into shape, and start challenging me to pursue excellence in everything I do. For an education means nothing without the comprehension behind it, to take it even further. Although knowing the Union makes a nice spot to nap couldn't have hurt either.

Lacey

I wish I would have known exactly what I wanted to do when I first started. I now know what I want to do and I am happy with the program and the faculty helping me get my degree.

I almost knew about the whole thing about Sac State by reading on their websites, so I didn't have any promblems not knowing anything.
