It’s a liberal school so if you’re not open minded than you might not wanna come here.

Tips: Get in the contact with someone who's atleast spent a semester or two here so you can learn the ropes of this place from the get go. Otherwise you're gonna be roaming throughout the campus with a map trying to figure it out. There's a lot of resources for students that you won't be informed about.

Likes (Public transportation): There's always buses going around that start in the morning at 6 or 7 all the way until 10 pm. There's different routes you can explore most of Sacramento just through the bus routes. Some places to visit would be West Sacramento, there are some good places to explore.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There is Indian food if you can cook it for yourself. But for even something similar to Indian food you're gonna have to travel 15-20 mins in the bus. I mostly prefer eating on campus since I'm in the dorms and you can get a meal card and it's much more convenient after classes than any kind of activity.
