It’s a liberal school so if you’re not open minded than you might not wanna come here.

Tips: Get in the contact with someone who's atleast spent a semester or two here so you can learn the ropes of this place from the get go. Otherwise you're gonna be roaming throughout the campus with a map trying to figure it out. There's a lot of resources for students that you won't be informed about.

Likes (Public transportation): There's always buses going around that start in the morning at 6 or 7 all the way until 10 pm. There's different routes you can explore most of Sacramento just through the bus routes. Some places to visit would be West Sacramento, there are some good places to explore.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There is Indian food if you can cook it for yourself. But for even something similar to Indian food you're gonna have to travel 15-20 mins in the bus. I mostly prefer eating on campus since I'm in the dorms and you can get a meal card and it's much more convenient after classes than any kind of activity.

The professors are friendly and very co-operative.

Tips: That was a great experience when you come here there are many cultural events from university which make international students feel welcome. Moreover, no one discriminates anyone, as there are students from China, South Korea, India, Pakistan, and every country, and all are so good, so I assure you that you will have a great experience here. The fees are not too high compared to other universities. This is a public university with a very good quality of education, the tuition cost is not too high either, so it's worth it according to the university. The courses that they provide for international students at a reasonable cost are also very good.

Dislikes (Student Life): It was a great experience being there as an international student the faculty and infrastructure are just excellent and placements are also so good. On-campus part-time jobs are available in bulk for international students. Moreover, there is quality education and research labs, which are my favorite part.
