I went to a Cal State university - it was a joke.

Would be happy to hear more about your experience. In what respect?

* Slept through my year there. Managed a 4.0.

* After I was there, they literally accepted anyone with a high school diploma. They called this "fast track acceptance."

* In the orientation, I, as an anthro major was somehow grouped with about 40 engineers. The guy was discussing the math and English assessment tests. If you had x on your math SATs, you can skip the math test. If you had y in your English SATs, you can skip the English test. He asked how many people can skip the English test. Me and like 5 people raised our hands, which wasn't surprising in a room full of engineers. He asked how many can skip the math test. Maybe 10 more people raised their hands.

Somehow, I, the anthro major had a higher math SAT score than a bunch of people who wanted to build the bridges I drive over.

Went to CSUS. Indeed it was.
