Help! Which CSU is the best academics wise?

<p>I have applied and have been accepted into CSU Sacramento, Sonoma, Channel Islands, San Francisco, and Los Angeles but I am having a hard deciding which college I should go. Any ideas on which college has the best academics, and highest graduation rate?</p>

<p>or am I better off going to a cc first then transferring to a UC?</p>

<p>What is your major?? Each CSU has their strengths.</p>

<p>Economics.</p>

<p>I would say probably for CSU’s: San Diego State and Cal Poly SLO would be your top choice. For the UC’s, UC Berkeley, UCLA and UCI.</p>

<p>My son is a freshman econ major@ Chico, we looked at most of the schools you; list and, each of them has a very different feel. I’d suggest you take a tour and think about what it would be like to spend 4 years studying at each.</p>

<p>They are all fine schools and turn out many qualified workers each year. I wouldn’t bother with the CC route unless you budget is tight, I’d head straight to the one that strikes your fancy. </p>

<p>As a hiring manager - I’d rank them Sonoma, Sac, SFSU, CSUCI, CSULA - but, your comfort and ability to excel should trump that ranking. </p>
