<p>does n e one know if sacramento state is a good college? i heard good things and bad things....these are the only two colleges i applied to? im leaning towards sac state b/c of convenience.....merced is really boring and empty.</p>
<p>one thing to remember...if you are from sacramento area...you are going to have to feel like you are 13th grade in your high school...thats what my friends say...over the years...</p>
<p>Well, go check out both and see which one you like more. I'm assuming you're instate so it won't be a hassle to check either one out. On academic levels I think they're pretty much equal, so it's basically the "feel."</p>
<p>if you don't mind that there's nothing to do in Merced, then go to UCM.</p>
<p>One thing about UC merced: it has the potential to rise in the rankings; Sacramento State... no so much. </p>
<p>Basically: If all you want is a job out of school in California, then sac state seems like the right choice. If however you want to move out of state, or attend grad school, then UCM is the better choice by far.</p>
