| Let
me start off by saying, no HSU is not Harvard,
it is a cal state and admission is based on
whether or not the budget allows for it. A
lot of the reviews for this school rate it as
though they are comparing it to top ivy league schools
which is an entirely separate environment. HSU is a
great place fore smart kids who may or may not
have been able to attend more “selective” schools for financial
reasons or grades. This does NOT mean that it
is a bad school. Having started college at SFSU,
I know what a bad school is that does not
care about its students. HSU is a small, close
knit community where people will smile and say hello to
strangers walking down the street. By far the friendliest
place in California, if not the country. Like most
less selective schools, you get out what you put in.
You might not come out of graduation owning the
world but it is very easy to become involved in
activities that involve your major, such as clubs, volunteering, and
social events. All of these look great for graduate
programs, which most students should consider in this economy.
Every teacher I had was an expert in their field,
even the jewelry class I took was taught by a
woman with a masters degree in her work as well
as having been an active and well paid artist for
years prior. As for the psychology program all of
the professors came from top notch schools (some of the
ivy league and top selective schools many of the students
on this site drool over) and really bring their love
for the subject to the school. The only reason
I say I would have chosen another school given the
chance is because obviously I would have chosen a designer
label school had I had the grades or tuition money,
but I didn't, and I don't regret my decision at
all. I am working hard to be able to
get good letter of recommendation and many peers have gotten
into great graduate programs.I am an officer in the psyc
club, volunteer at local psyc related organizations, in psi
chi (the honors association for psyc majors) and feel part
of something bigger than myself much more than I did
at the jc I attended as well as SFSU. Don't
be surprised to meet kids that transferred from UCLA, Pepperdine,
and other schools of the like just go to HSU
because a lot of kids with the ability to go
to those schools simply did not enjoy the atmosphere and
what those schools endorsed (cut throat competitiveness, steep tuition).

Responses My daughter is part of the LGBTQ community. I am worried about her safety going to college. Can you tell me about the mind set there? Also the web puts that area at an extremely high crime rate. We come from a very safe small town and she is not prepared for many of the dangers. Would you think she would feel welcome and safe there? |
