San Francisco State University

Date: Sep 17 2002
Major: Psychology (This Major's Salary over time)
State's a good school. There's a mall just down the street. There are tons of things to do in the City, and even more in the surrounding Bay Area. Getting there is not a problem if you take public transportation. If you drive, then good luck with traffic and parking. As with the rest of San Francisco, most of the time you will need a light jacket. State is really diverse. Every ethnic group is represented in sizable numbers. It can seem kind of cold there, but the majority of students commute from various parts of the bay, so unless you live on or near campus, or are involved in some kind of club or athletics, most students just go to class and leave. As far as academics, I was majoring in Business Administration, then decided I didn't like that so I picked something that I found interesting which was Psychology. I graduated in '01, fully intending not to go on to grad school or to pursue a job at all related to Psychology. 3 months after I graduated I had a job working for the State of California making a good entry level salary (it helped that I had 4 years in the Navy too). SF State is a good school to go to, but as always it's up to you to make the best out of it.
