Stockton is a great place socially, of course you have to be outgoing. A lot of people go home on the weekends but once you learn to stay there your friends will too and its very comfortable, safe, and fun. This may sound corny, but Stockton is a great place to spiritually advance, and I'm not referring to the number of Christian activities there are as I am not Christian in the slightest. It is just very refreshingly open, and the temperature is so perfect all year round because of the gulf stream that it provides little to make the mind wander uselessly. The school is slightly underfunded but do not let this lead you to believe it is academically useless. I consider myself one of the smartest among my friends (not to sound ostentatious), most who go to Rutgers, and a few who go to NYU. I was admitted to a number of schools including Rutgers, The University of Washington and BU, but for financial reasons and family disability I decided to stay close to home. The courses I have taken have been extremely interesting, apart from the introductory courses that you must take like rhetoric and comp. which seem to be more busy work (but in truth that particular class did help my essay form entirely.) Stockton is a great value, it used to be the the number one party school in the nation but now there are more cops. Still a great load of drinking if you are thinking you need it. This school has changed my life and in turn all of the lives of the people around me.
