Detailed Ratings

For a local 4-year college program, this CSU was fine and served its purpose for convenience and cost. However, it was limited in the types of undergraduate and graduate degrees it offered. If you are looking for more of a traditional "college feel" where school spirit stems from its athletic events, attend a larger school with Division I sports programs such as Fresno, San Diego, Fullerton, or Long Beach. Otherwise, you will be disappointed in the level of participation and attendance at events in a Division II school such as Stanislaus.
