The campus at CSUS is gorgeous. So many beautiful trees and lush nature to get lost in and relax from the stress of studying. The theatre program is by far one of most prestigious programs in California. The professors teach with such detail that it's hard NOT to pay attention. I left with a Bachelor's Degree in Theatre Arts and I could not be happier with the level of education, student involvement and community I experienced while attending. The only negative remark I have is the parking situation... PLEASE build more efficient and spacious parking structures!
My time at Sacramento State University has so far been good! I started in the Spring of 2023 full time, and I am now wrapping up my two classes that I have just taken over the summer. I am getting ready to head into the fall semester full time as well. The campus is huge and beautiful. Everybody that I have meet has been pleasent and helpful. To be honest, I thought my upper level classes where going to be extremey difficult. The rigor does not feel more difficult than the class that I took at community college. The only difference I really see is that the classes themselves are a lot more expensive. Overall, this is where I have to be if I want to complete my degree. I am happy to be at Sac State, and I look forward to see more of what this school has to offer. Thank you for considering my perspective.

Sacramento state was a very wonderful experience! Students and faculty are all welcoming and are academically driven. Some things that I like include the amount of extracurricular activitites, programs, and a well maintained state of the art facility.
