Why did you choose Fresno State?
The reason I chose Fresno State is because it’s affordable and being a small campus
makes it easier to receive help from professors and all types of resources needed
to succeed.
What’s the best thing about Fresno State
The best thing about Fresno State is the Student Recreation Center. The Recreation
Center allows students to exercise while making new friends. The Library is also a
popular place for friends to meet and grab a Starbucks drink while studying together.
If you want a place to have fun the Student Union has a bowling alley where you can
knock some pins around.
What are your favorite campus activities?
My favorite campus activity is going to the Student Recreation Center and fighting
against the force of gravity to lift weights up and down until my body is exhausted.
What are your favorite local activities?
My favorite local activities are hiking at Yosemite which is not far from Fresno,
the big Fresno Fair and depending on the time of the year Shaver Lake.
What’s your favorite thing to do in Fresno, California?
My favorite thing to do in Fresno is spending time with my close ones.
What are your plans after you graduate?
My plans after I graduate are to continue my education and keep learning as much as
I can while enjoying life.
Advice for new students?
My advice for new students is to never be afraid or embarrassed to ask questions in
class or reach out to professors because most of the time other students have the
same questions as you do.
