<p>Ive been accepted to these schools and am having difficulty deciding where to attend.
Ive visited all but Humboldt and I really like them all.</p>

<p>I love SFSU campus but Im not really fond of the area and Ive heard that it can take 5-6 years to graduate because its so impacted.</p>

<p>Sonoma State has really nice dorms and a super pretty campus, but I dont really know much about the school.</p>

<p>CSUMB had pretty good dorms, but most of the campus is so ugly. Even though the campus is ugly, I love the monterey Bay area (Ive lived there for the past couple years) Im in love with the beaches and all the marine life but I dont know if thats enough reason to go there.</p>

<p>I know Humboldt has a super beautiful campus but it may be a bit secluded for me. </p>

<p>Do you have any experience with these schools? What are the pros and cons of each? Especially if you, or someone you know, has gone there.</p>

<p>What is your major? That might help determine where you end up</p>

<p>I attended Sonoma State and graduated from SFSU .Your major is a key factor.</p>

<p>Im undecided but Im sure Im not majoring in a science. I know that Humboldt is pretty big on sciences. Im kind of leaning toward something like International Studies, but im still really not sure.</p>

<p>SFSU is the least residential campus on the list if that is important to you</p>

<p>CSUMB and HSU are both strong in sciences and are the two least impacted schools on the list. I think of all of them you are most likely to get out of CSUMB in 4 years w/ HSU being a close second </p>

<p>SSU is great for its access to San Francisco and its beauty. It is becoming a well respected school that offers a good solid undergraduate experience but students can have trouble getting their classes and Rohnert Park isn’t exactly hopping.</p>

<p>I do think that a student can have a good experience just about anywhere but advise you to try to visit again all of them between now and May to figure out what works best for you.</p>

<p>If international studies is your area you might consider SF simply for the exposure to international opportunities</p>

<p>Monterey might be another one as there is a graduate school for international affairs in the area</p>

<p>I thought CSUMB was beautiful, but I’m told it doesn’t appeal to every one. CSUMB and Sonoma are nice among CSU’s for their small size.</p>
