As a year 3 pre-nursing student, I have had a great experience! There are so many resources that aim to help and involve students on and off campus. My favorite being USU Productions! I also love and attend SI sessions for some of my harder classes. The SI leaders are almost always super helpful and friendly! If I had to change one thing, it would be how hard it is to get into some classes that students need to stay on track. Most pre-nursing students have to wait a semester or two for a class they need to open up, and I found myself in that position many times. Other than that, most of the teachers that I have had have been so helpful and understanding. I would, and do, highly recommend this school to anyone wanting the real "college experience"!
Fresno State offers so many activities, clubs, and opportunities to network, expand your knowledge, or do research. If you really find out what your college can offer you like conferences, lectures, or events you can really expand your mind! I learned so much, met so many amazing people, all you need to do is speak up in class, talk to your professors, and find out what you can do to help yourself. good luck!

The professors in the Psychology department are so great! I started off as a Child and Family Sciences major and ended up switching over to Psychology. I was so nervous about it, but the professors made me feel okay and I also realized that this was definitely the right major for me. There are also so many beneficial services for the students. Everyone I have come across who works at this school is very dedicated to the students no matter what their path looks like. I was very hesitant about transferring over to Fresno State from Fresno City, but it is such a great place to be and I am so grateful I am able to attend the school.
