SDSU prepared me for the corporate world

Regardless of what is/has been said about San Diego State's reputation---I strongly believe that my experiences at San Diego State University prepared me for the corporate world. My advice to current/future students is to understand that high school and college are two different learning environments.

Broadened my horizons

I think there's a "party school/Greek/snob" stigma associated with state that is definitely not the case. I've come across many diverse people in my two and a half years here, and this school has really broadened my horizons.
