Is SDSU just one campus or part of a larger system? I'm hearing about SDSU in student discussions, but I'm not clear if it's referring to San Diego State University or something else.
SDSU typically refers to San Diego State University, which is part of the California State University (CSU) system. The CSU system includes 23 campuses, of which SDSU is one.
San Diego State is a public research institution in San Diego, California. It's known for its programs in business, engineering, and health and human services, among other areas of study.
It's worth noting that acronyms can sometimes vary by region or context, so always double-check if you see a university referred to by an acronym in a student conversation. However, more often than not, SDSU will refer to San Diego State University.
