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.

Final comments
A plus about Sacramento and California State University are the numerous internship opportunities offered by the state government and institutions associated with it, often in cooperation with the university.
Moreover, Sacramento is located quite well for all sorts of travelling. The drive / bus ride to San Francisco takes only an hour and a half. Spots to go for hiking are the Sierra Nevada, with Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park.
