What's life really like on campus as a freshman?
Hey there, my son is considering CSUS and we just visited campus today. I actually thought it was a beautiful campus and felt much more akin to the college town I went to in Colorado (Boulder). I'd even say it felt a little like UCLA as well in some ways (we're from LA).
My son is hoping for a more traditional early college experience, where he gets a chance to really bond and develop friendships with new people. But I'm also seeing many people (and statistics) describe Sac State as more of a commuter/transfer campus.
With the new 2-year housing requirement for non-locals starting next year I guess the answer to this question could change, but for those of you attending now or who have attended in the recent past, have you had a good experience socially at CSUS? Do kids hang out on weekends? Do students venture off-campus together and make the most of the city/area?
TIA!
