Overall
Personal recommendation
Don't go there if you plan to do serious graduate research. The university is mainly recommendable for undergraduates. Also, it is not a university which gives you the typical American campus experience. Many people commute to classes and have their social life somewhere else. If you would like to experience some real experience of life in a medium-size American city though, Sacramento is not the worst spot. In contrast to big cities like San Francisco, it does not yet display the standard international big city "scenes." People who look for the California experience may find it a little boring however.

Course recommendations
It is a good idea to consult local students for tips on recommendable courses and professors, since courses vary greatly in quality. Often undergraduate courses offered by professors who also offer graduate courses are more recommendable than others.
