I am a Stan alumni. I lived and spent every second of my amazing college experience at Stanislaus. I found my best friends and partly myself because of this school. However...This is not a good school if you are planning to get out in the world and be successful. Out of my graduating year I have more than a dozen friends that are struggling to make it out here and I partly blame Stanislaus for this. I barely remember them ever teaching us practical ways to survive after school. Out of a dozen (btw one is doing Quantum physics at uc Irvine) only 2 have full time jobs but still struggling. In my field (IT) specially in San Fran or down here in SD people care where u go to school. Nobody knows Stanislaus. If you are planning to stay in the valley yeah maybe go to Stanislaus. If not, apply for Cal poly, San Diego or better csu schools. They all cheap but believe me cause San Diego by the beach and plenty of jobs around campus is a diff experience from Stanislaus in middle of nowhere. Plz plz don't waste your life there. College experience is a one time thing, spend it wisely.
