<p>LOL Berkeley and Sac State. My two college applications.</p>
<p>I’m the one scouting the pages to give the CSU’s some reputation:
Sacramento State can be the better choice…
-a 3 year engineering degree living at home (albeit unlikely unless you’ve abused the heck out of AP credit) is less than 1 year at Berkeley in cost.
-a practical vs. theoretical education and plenty of work experience in the state capital to guarantee a job instantly after graduation (CS majors I know are interning as sophomores / juniors)
-small class sizes and professor attention (leads to impaction, but if the random person just happens to have a ton of advance standing from AP)
-less of a hectic sabotaging competitive atmosphere, reducing stress levels</p>
<p>~I want more people to choose Sacramento State over the UC’s as most of the people I know from a competitive high school opted to go to places like Berkeley and I get looked down upon / the “oh” response when alumni learn what college I decided to go to… Idk, just after first semester you get that college ego boost.</p>
