What is Sonoma State really like?

it is a very nice campus - and not too far of a drive. You should take tour when you can. The dorms get lots of kudos from the students. They are laid out like an apartment complex rather than the old style cinder block halls of yore. This makes them somewhat less social - there’s no walking by an open doors on your way to eat. The school has lots of activities for residents It’s the only CSU where Jr and Sr students living on campus is common. They have some great/accelerated programs for teaching and nursing. Those students are somewhat secluded from the general population which makes the school even smaller than the headcount suggests.

I don’t know alot about SoOregon other than having driven by it several times. Ashland is pretty… and I think they participate in WUE which keeps tuition reasonable.

CSUCI is small and new so, they don’t have much of a track record yet. I don’t know what the housing situation is. The coast is beautiful down there.

Whittier is private, small and expensive.

I don’t claim to be an expert on all of them - but, Sonoma was my son’s second choice. (he’s a freshman at Chico now) For a female psych major SSU would be a great choice.
