<p>Hello everyone! This is my first post, it's pretty exciting :D
Anyway, onto my question, I want to major in Communications because I want to work in Public Relations. Would a UC or a CSU be better for what I want to do? Oh, if it helps, I've been accepted to UCD, CSU Fullerton, and Sac State.</p>
<p>Davis is the best of the three you listed. </p>
<p>I live in the Sac area and went to Sac State while my brother went to Davis. The school has a better rep and is more heavily recruited. You are still close to internship opportunities. The schools have a very different feel though. If you walk around them both and Sac is calling your name, it is a fine school with a respected com-studies program.</p>
<p>The local paper just published and article about Sac States AWFUL graduation rate - one in 14 freshman graduates in 4 years.<br>

As much as it pains me, that would keep me out if I were deciding today.</p>
<p>I don’t know much about Fullerton - but for all but proximity to swimable beaches, Davis is better, hands down.</p>
<p>Wow, that statistic is pretty scary…I’m going to have to keep that in mind. I did get into Sac State’s Honors program, would that help?</p>
<p>Thanks for your info and opinion! It was all helpful.</p>
<p>In general, and I am from Southern cal, I have found that the UCs offer a little more of the “college” experience. I know that is not true of all Cal States. But Davis, is a really wonderful college with lots of spirit. I also might think the opportunities might be richer at a UC. But the tuition will be almost double.</p>
<p>I believe that being in the Honors Program at Sacramento State gives you priority registration which would give you a better chance of getting into the classes you need to graduate early in your college career. Not being able to get into the required classes is the main reason four year graduation rates at California public universities has declined and why transfer students are generally spending three years, rather than two, in community colleges.</p>
