Sonoma State University Top Questions

Nothing, I am completely satisfied with my decision to go to sonoma state. It is a great transition from any other institution and the school makes integrating into the school very easy.

I can't think of anything, I did a lot of research about this school before I came here.

That engineering was going to require a lot more time than I was ready to handle at that age and to conserve money.

That it was important to get involved in clubs/plays/sports because that's where you meet people

I wish that I had know what the gender ratio really is. They say it is about 30:70, men to women but it is really a lot closer to 25:75

I wish I had known more about how much the general education classes affected my major. I came to college with an undeclared major, and was told to just worry about getting my G.E. classes done before having to declare my major. I did this, and what I learned was a lot of the core classes for my major could have also qualified as completion of my G.E. classes. This probably added at least a semester onto my stay at college because I had to spend extra time completing classes that I did not necessarily need.

I wish that i had know how supportive my teachers would be in my first semester. I only took 12units because I didn't know what to expect. I found that all my professors were very understanding that college is a new and, at first, daunting experience and really eased us in accordingly. If I would've known that I would have taken a full load and not had to take summer session to make up for it.
