California State University-San Marcos Rankings by Salary Score

My undergraduate university was an extraordinary school and amazing experience. It is a small school, but the benefit of that was that I was able to have close relationships with other students, staff and most importantly the faculty. My lower division classes were all about 30 students. That allowed for us to ask questions in class and in many occasions, a discussion among the class would replace the lecture. Then in my major courses and upper division courses I had even smaller class sizes of about 15 to... Read More 20 students. The physics department was extraordinary. The open-door policy that the professors abided by helped me feel welcomed and supported. In fact, I got to know every professor from the department before I even had them for a course. I took advantage of asking them from help on problems and topics that I needed help with and even though I was not officially their student yet, they had no hesitation in helping. My school had no shortage of scholarship, fellowship, and other finical opportunities. The finical aid department, professors, and staff all encouraged us to apply to the campus wide general scholarship application that filtered out the best suited and available scholarships for each individual. Many of the scholarships I received came from staff forwarding them to me because they got to know me so well. My school also had an excellent office of internships that allowed me to partake in a semester long internship at another university and to count it as credit.
