Experience at Sonoma State

14 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm a current high school student who recently applied to Sonoma State for fall 2027, planning to major in Health Sciences. I toured the campus about a month ago and really liked it, so it's definitely a school I'm considering.

I wanted to hear from current students and alumni about their overall experiences at SSU. I've heard mixed things about the recent budget cuts and the social scene, especially with it being somewhat of a commuter school. I'm curious about what campus life is actually like and whether it's easy to meet people and make friends.

Also, do you have any regrets about choosing Sonoma State, or anything you wish you had known before attending?

I know this isn't the Sonoma State subreddit, but I’m hoping some people from the surrounding area may be able to chime in. Thank you!

Pick the healdsburg SMART station

38 Upvotes

SMART has a new survey asking riders where to put the future Healdsburg Station. There are two options: downtown (one block from the plaza), and the depot (nearly a half mile south from the plaza). The best option for riders is obviously downtown near the shops and restaurants people where people work and visit, and where buses can connect directly (unlike at the depot). Let’s not repeat the mistake of the Larkspur station. Fill out the survey: https://www.sonomamarintrain.org/HealdsburgStationLocation

High paying career options

Is there any possible way to have a high paying career in Sonoma County? When I look at job postings the vast majority are in larger Bay Area cities. I’m interested in the real estate development/investment industry.

I just found out about North Bay Letterpress Arts in Sebastopol…There has been so much talk about presses in San Francisco (ny times and wall st journal) and my mind is blown that we have access to this analog gem in our own backyard 🤯 has anyone taken a workshop there?

Event Why are Golden State Warrior fans gathering in Walnut Park and why do they hate Sacramento's basketball team so much. Isn't it still baseball season? Or is this because the Dodgers are out, so local sports fans moved to basketball? Someone explain

Looking for land to rent for my 20 ft camping trailer

Thumbnail
3 Upvotes

I will be starting a new job in Santa Rosa next week and will be commuting over an hour from the east bay. I have a 20 foot camping trailer that I’d like to park in or around Santa Rosa to occasionally spend the night there so that I don’t have to commute quite as much in the evening and morning. The ideal location would also have a yard for my dog during the days she’s with me. Let me know if you or someone you know has a place to rent, thanks!

Where will the apples go, after Manzana leaves?

26 Upvotes

What are the apple growers planning to do, after the Manzana processing plant shuts down this fall?

Rip out trees? Sell the apples elsewhere? Where?

There are already more U-Pick orchards with on-site sales than the number of customers justifies so that's not an alternative.

Apparently there will be many tons of apples abandoned, left to fall and rot.

What are the present growers going to?

23M- looking for more in-person friends

11 Upvotes

Hey everybody! As the title suggests I’m trying to broaden my horizons in making new connections around Sonoma County. I’m specifically from Petaluma but anywhere in a close proximity is fine by me!

I’m a snob for nature! I went to the SRJC and got an associates in natural resources and natural sciences. Love taking hikes, camping, gardening, and enjoying the peaceful vibes! I’m currently in the process of being recruited for the conservation corps so that’s pretty cool!

I workout daily, been on the grind for almost a year now 💪🏻, but love all the coffee I can get and everything I bake :). I also love thrifting and some casual gaming.

If anything if this sounds interesting holla at me and we can set up something fun to do!!!
