California State University, Stanislaus

"The campus is HUGE. I worked here for a few months and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. The only thing that made it bad was the price for parking. It’s expensive, approximately $30-60 per semester for the semester pass and there’s very little parking space for the amount of people that attend here."

"Never got an education there but it is a fun place to play Pokémon go and skate with friends. Safe, good staff, good ppl, everything you’d want in a college"

"I am a former student that graduated in May 2022. I came to this school because it felt right at home. It was maybe double the size of my high school in Minnesota. I felt very comfortable and enjoyed the beautiful campus. I did have some mixed experiences about the faculty, and professors here. When I initially got advised before my freshman year, the student advisor accidentally put me in 2 classes that fulfilled the same G.E. requirement. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that until like mid semester since I was still getting used to school. Other times when I asked for career advice, I was told to just make friends with previous Alumni on LinkedIn and use that as a resource. I went in for a computer science degree but graduated with a Sociology Degree. The computer science department was cold. I made good grades in computer science, but their advising department was mediocre at best. I was contemplating dropping out of school until my sister told me to change majors and visit the Sociology department. I can not thank Cindy Browning and Dr. Ann Strahm enough. They both listened to my needs and went above and beyond to make sure I was successful. Dr. Ann Strahm was my advisor and give me clear concise directions on how to graduate on time and worked around my weaknesses. If it wasn't for them, I honestly would've dropped out. While Sociology may seem like a useless major to some, I really enjoyed it and it made me a more critical thinker. It really showed me how our society is set up in a capitalistic manner. While it is vague information, I now realize that I have to pursue a entrepreneurial venture and that a 9-5 day job is not for me in order for me to achieve my goals and dreams. Overall, I met a lot of great professors, made some really close friends, but to future students make sure you understand everything at advising to graduate on time. Good Luck!"

"The teachers are great, the campus is beautiful, and I have nothing but good things to say about since I started going here… It’s outstanding! And I’m so blessed to be here!"
