<p>Good: Chico, Long Beach, Fresno, SLO, SDSU
Medium: Humboldt, Pomona, LA, Fullerton, Sacramento
Poor: Channel Islands, Stanislaus, San Bernardino, Northridge, San Jose, San Francisco, Sonoma, Monterey Bay, San Marcos
Very Poor: East Bay, Dominguez Hills</p>

<p>SDSU is the only school that can compare to the mid-tier UCs in terms of school spirit.</p>

<p>The ones with the best community are likely to be the most residential.
In terms of school spirit, only two come to mind: San Diego State (basketball) and Cal Poly SLO (soccer)</p>

<p>Community (just my opinion)

  1. Cal Maritime (highly specialized school)
  2. Humboldt State
  3. Cal Poly SLO
  4. Sonoma Sate
  5. San Diego State</p>

<p>Channel Islands has a good sense of community. Being a smaller school nestled in a beautiful canyon certainly helps. </p>

<p>I agree with Bubbles that Fresno has good school spirit. The people who live on or near campus (e.g., in the Greek system) have a lot of fun together.</p>

<p>Probably D1 schools like SDSU and Fresno State.</p>

<p>The following CSUs are in NCAA Division I:</p>

<p>CPSLO, CSUB, CSUF, CSUFULL, CSULB, CSUN, CSUS, SDSU, SJSU</p>

<p>Whether that means much in terms of school spirit is another matter.</p>

<p>“SDSU is the only school that can compare to the mid-tier UCs in terms of school spirit.”</p>

<p>Agreed, I think it’s in a class by itself.</p>

<p>Humboldt is very interesting; it’s the furthest thing from a rah-rah sports/Greek type of atmosphere, but it has a sense of place and a distinctive culture that I find unusual among public schools.</p>

<p>San Diego State, hands down.</p>
