Sac State is an academic school, don't go here if your looking for Pac-10 sports or a lot of school spirit. A lot of students here are from Sacramento and live at home so the vibe here is like a JC somewhat. I'm from the Bay Area and I don't really like the attitude of people from Sacramento, a lot of the students come from rich families and are snobby, but students from other areas going to Sac State are almost always friendly and fun to be with. Courses here vary, some are so easy its ridiculous and others might make you want to drop out due to difficulty. Best depts here are Communication Studies, Criminal Justice, Business and Engineering. The Comm Studies dept is the most friendly and helpful, our mailbox is the front end of a pink cadilac lol! Sacramento night life is okay, Bay Area is better but if your in Sac check napkinnights.com for clubs to go to and guestlists. Avalon and Empire are the best clubs. Blue Cue and Monkey Bar are the best bars. Sac State is a school with a lot of potential, its not bad it just needs improvements and the current administration is not doing that. Its affordable to live here and the school is what you make out of it. If your an outgoing person then you'll make it fun here. Parking is crazy, don't expect to park in the garages in the morning between 9AM-12PM unless you look an hour before you class starts. This is a liberal campus for the most part but its accepting of other people's views. Fairly good racial demographic, mostly white people though because most students are born and raised in Sacramento which is mostly a white city. Style on campus is very preppy Abercrombie but if you kick it in the Union you can be around more urban/Bay Area style people of different ethnic backgrounds.
