Fantastic experience

San Diego state university is a wonderful institution. Because of the university's size, you get to meet and interact with new people everyday. The faculty is excellent because they are constantly working to improve you as a student and person overall. The professors are very passionate and always available to meet. Student life is always active since joining clubs and groups on campus is fairly simple, and the food is also excellent. So far, the experience has been fantastic.
