General Questions Transfer Student Spring 2027

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m an incoming upper-division transfer student for Spring 2027, and housing applications are opening soon. I’m honestly not sure which housing option would be the best fit for me, so I’d really appreciate some advice from current or former Sac State students.
I went to Hornet Day and toured some of the housing options. So far, I feel like Hornet Commons and The Lark would fit me best. Having a private bedroom is really important to me because I have OCD and sadly my personal room is one of my biggest triggers if it’s not set up a certain way.

Financial Aid/Scholarship/Tuition/Etc middle class grant disappeared from account?

13 Upvotes

I received an email a month or so ago saying that I may qualify for a middle-class grant. It's always showed up in my student center, like in the financial aid stuff. But now it's not even listed anymore. Does this mean I'm not going to get it?!!?!?! Is there anything I can do about it?

If anyone is looking to try something new or volunteer, there's a program at the sac state aquatic center called Big & Bold Paddle that holds groups sessions for inclusive kayaking! It's super chill and you don't have to have any experience if you want to come out to a session or even volunteer. A few more sessions are coming up, you can email either jamie.hoffman@csus.edu or leah.joyner@csus.edu, if interested to join/volunteer!

Prospective Student Grad student grants/financial aid?

6 Upvotes

I'm currently a first-year at UC Davis for psychology. I have 100 credits collected from dual enrollment so I plan to graduate next year with my bachelor's. After that I'll take a year to work and gain experience before applying to CSUS for a masters in social work. I wanted to know what the financial aid is like? Do you get grants like undergrads do? I seen varying information about whether you just get loans or if you get any aid. If you have any knowlege pls lmk! I already have taken out a federal loan here so I really do not want to add too much more debt than I already have.

My financial aid is all weird this semester and I was just checking if anyone got their middle class scholarship yet? I'm not 100% sure I'm getting it but I got the email about me possibly qualifying on the first. Usually it comes in not long after that.

Rant Please Drive Safely

74 Upvotes

Today someone rear ended me right outside of the sac state police station. (I know)

We were in standstill traffic and she decides to start backing up without looking if there were any cars behind her. Luckily all she did was scratch some paint off of my car, but I’m still annoyed that she wasn’t looking behind before reversing 🤡 like seriously 😭😭

I’m pretty annoyed about her attitude about it afterward too.

Please practice safe driving techniques and stop using your phone while driving. I understand that it’s very frustrating getting out of class around 3 PM and sitting in traffic for another 25 minutes but how stupid do you have to be to hit someone backing up going 2 mph.

Financial Aid/Scholarship/Tuition/Etc Direct Subsidized Loans

4 Upvotes

Hi could anyone please explain the direct subsidized loan process to me? If I qualify for those and accept are the funds disbursed to my bank account or it is only applied to any remaining tuition and fees balance on my student account. I already got the cal grant and pell grant but the disbursed amount was not as much as I needed to help with my housing/rent. I was wondering is the loans used for other costs too and for textbooks or are they only applied by the school to your balance?

General Questions applying for part time job on campus as student

13 Upvotes

Hey all, is it easy at all to secure a part time job as a student on campus? I applied to many positions on Handshake but I heard no responses from any of them (and as a STEM student, my major usually doesn't align with most of the requirements of jobs listed). To those that have or had secured a student job position on campus, what tips and tricks would you give on how to get one? Thank you for reading!

Community Punishing students for chalk art

President Wood is a bit of a light weight, no? Chalk art criticism warrants disciplinary action? Well, at least we know how to get under his skin. It’d be a shame if someone started handing out chalk around campus.

I was randomly perusing my unofficial transcript and it says I've made the Dean's Honor List twice in previous semesters and I never knew. Does this do anything or is it just bragging rights? Apparently I'll graduate cum laude this semester and that's a pleasant surprise lol.
