Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Sac State doesn’t have too many behavior problems, so campus rules aren’t that prevalent. If students saw police busting people every other day, then it would feel strict, but they don’t. In fact, it’s pretty easy to be lulled into a false sense of security because most students are never really reprimanded for anything. Perhaps teachers need to periodically remind students that this is a college and not a high school when it comes class conduct, but other than that, nothing. The school tries to curb alcohol consumption. Staff members pass out flyers and other literature about alcohol use and its effects, and there are presentations in the same vein on the Library Quad periodically. Alcohol is the substance that gets the most lip service, but the alcohol presence at Sac State is below the national average, and if you don’t want to let it be a dominant, excessive part of your life, chances are you won’t have much trouble doing so. There are minor issues with parking and with some campus departments. Students complain about wrongfully-issued parking tickets more than they do about any other University Police-related incidents. Employees in the financial services office irritate students by getting attitudes when asked about financial issues, but most Sac State employees are cool if you take a non-confrontational approach from the beginning.

Never Had a Problem With Authority...

I don't live on campus, so I don't worry about getting caught drinking. The worst thing I've down is eat my lunch or have a coffee in the library where you're not supposed to have food or liquids and I've never been talked to about it.

Haven't Seen Much Punishment

Maybe it is just because I just focus on my school and the get out of there but I have only seen the police on campus enforcing any kind of punishment once in two years. There is not much drinking or drug use that I have seen. It is a fairly safe and neat campus.

Dorm's Quiet Hours

During the week the RA for the floor that your staying in from your dorm will make sure that everyone is quiet when it hits 10pm for the week and 12pm for the weekend. It's understandable to force having quiet hours so that we could respect other students living there too but it gets complicated when there's kick backs and they write you down if you decide not to follow the rules of being "loud" and "disruptive".
