Rankings for Cal State Schools

Hi community, just wondering, does anyone know where I could find a reliable ranking of the different Cal State schools (California State University)? I know there's a lot of them and I'm having trouble figuring out which ones would be best for me, so I figured starting with rankings could be a good first step.

Hello! While rankings can be a useful initial guide, you should consider a variety of factors when choosing a school. Yes, rankings indeed help provide a general idea about how a school is viewed academically but remember that this isn't everything. What's more important is how well each Cal State school aligns with your specific interests, goals, and needs.

For instance, you might want to align your choice with the specific major you're interested in. If you know what subject you want to major in, look at how each school ranks in that specific department or field. Some schools might be stronger in certain areas and offer a more rigorous curriculum or comprehensive resources for that particular field of study.

In addition, college location might play a factor in your decision. Would you prefer to be closer to the beach, or maybe a bustling city life? What about class sizes and student demographics? What is the student life like on each campus?

Overall, while I understand your desire to see a ranking of Cal State schools, I suggest you take a more holistic approach. Think about what matters to you and use that as a guide when comparing and contrasting the various Cal State campuses.
