Fresno State- A great option for most

Tips: Safety is a concern, recommend getting a vehicle. Gets very hot so stay close to the university. The international student club is helpful so use them as much. Student cupboard gives free groceries so make the most of it. Attend Bulldog games, they are free and a good source of fun.

Likes (Value for money): CSU is value for money and staying in Fresno is cheap. You can get your own room for 550$ a month fully furnished. The fees is cheap for the value you get, the campus is awesome. You have tons of events going on. The Bay area is nearby to find work full-time. Can travel easily for interviews.

Dislikes (Part time work): It's a bit hard to find part-time work. College gym and security for Save smart Center is your best bet. Don't work off campus it's too risky due to safety and lawns. Try to find work with CSC they provide security for events. It's the best job to have. Also, try interning at the library.
