Why did I choose Stanislaus state

I have many reasons for choosing Stanislaus State where I decided to pursue my academic career. I had applied for to four schools, Fresno state, Chico state, Humboldt, and Stanislaus. Fresno was about an hour and a half from Turlock, Chico is about three hours away, Humboldt is six hours away, and Stanislaus since Turlock is my hometown, I am just nine minutes away. I made the decision to go to school here in Turlock for numerous reasons.The main reason is that there are good programs that offered here. I found that the school does have very good facilities, I just wish that the internet would work better. I also think the campus is very beautiful, I love the trees during the fall time, and the geese and ducks that are walking around. The Geese are cute, but one hissed at me, when I walked by it. I got so scared, and sped up my walking.  The professors here are really nice, and help me understand the material.I chose Stanislaus, because I am saving SO much money, because I do not stay in the dorms. I can use that money to make other payments, such as credit card bills, car insurance, etc. Commuting every day does add up especially gas, but it is worth it. Don’t get me wrong, I would like to have the college experience, such as staying in dorms, but I do not like sharing my room, I need privacy. I also chose Stanislaus, because it is an affordable school. I can agree that Fresno, Humboldt, and Chico are affordable as well, but I was also planning to go to a private university in Utah, and I would have to pay twice as much for that school. I might decide to go there for graduate school, but right now I will just focus on my undergrad. This is an amazing school, I am glad I chose to go here!

  1. I was so close to going to Chico, but I ended up choosing Stanislaus because of how close it was. Sometimes I do regret not picking Chico, but for the most part I enjoy it here.
