For me, education comes first. Pick the school that is right for you based on academia and not on autosocial media. Besides SF and Sac are really close to each other. We all choose the 8 for the thrill of the drive so this would be fun especialy when caravaning to go somewhere in the Bay Area.

^ +1 education comes first

Soldier, what are you majoring in? Might be easier to make your decision based on how each school's programs are designed. I had to choose between Berkeley and Davis for my Psych major and ended up looking at the course design and chose Davis.

lol Yeah I know school first, I recently took the tour of SF State and Sonoma and I am waiting to go to Sac to check it out, but so far I am still pretty torn between schools. SF has a great city life outside of school, while Sonoma has a great out doors feel to it. I live in Marin right now and swamped with work and school so its hard to make the meets and caravans, but one day hope ill get to join in on the fun. Plus, there doesn't seem to be many 8's here in Marin either....

My major is Criminal Justice, from what I hear Sac State has the second best program next to UC Irvine, but waiting to check Sac out for myself and would rather not go to UC Irvine. Thanks for the Responses guys

I agree with everyone else the school does come first but the environment is a close 2nd. If you visit and you just don't like the area and the people, that will affect you so considering all things is best in deciding where you should go.

Sac State sounds promising for a Criminal Justice Major...you're in Sacramento where the State Law Library and The UC Davis Law Library are nearby. Check those out when you visit. The only reason I know is because I knew a couple of pre-Law majors who would go up to Sac to do research.

Hi Guys! Just got my 8 back from ROTORSPORT, MAZDA Service & Repair: Pistons & Rotarys alike! in Santa Clara and wanted to give Paul and his crew a shout-out for taking care of me. She's running great and I can't be any happier atm. There’s nothing like the power to weight ratio especially the handling of the RX8.

I hate paul. I'm just kidding, Paul has done a lot for me. I need to get a rebuild for my 8 and i plan on having the installation done by him. Gonna order the engine from mazmart. Does he still have his rx8 in the shop? I want to buy the mazdaspeed body kit from him :P
