sonoma state is actually an impacted school...and getting a lot harder to get into, but yeah, the area blows ass. I applied to 8 state schools, and have seen almost all of them. San Jose was the only school that didnt send me anything saying i got in, so fuck them, i want my 55 bucks back. it was weird...cuz i got into Chico, and everyone knows how fat that school is for partying...but after looking at it...that city is TRASH! theres nowhere to go! i didnt wanna be a junior there and still doing hte same shit. SF is SF...theres a million things to do, and u can go anywhere in the bay area...i am not a huge fan of school, i hated high school, but i love SF State...the one bad thing is, is that its practically in Daly City, so like someone said, its not in the coolest area. as for the girls, its 28,000 students, with a 3 to 1 ratio. as for parties, there are a few frat parties, and some smaller house parties, but nothing like ur gonna find in a small college town. the best parties IVE been to, have been in San Luis Obispo, that place is crackin, and u dont have ANY cops, and u dont have to walk a lot of places from the school. its kinda like Santa Barbara, but SB has more cops, and u gotta drive some places. anyway, i'll post more later.
