Goin’ Sac

Believe it or not, there’s more to college life in Sac than Top Ramen on a hot plate.

Don’t be one of those annoying young people who whine that there’s nothing to do in Sacramento. Get up off your mom’s couch and take a spin through the Midtown grid, cool off in the American river, party like an indie-rock star with one of the West Coast’s best DJs, or see what volunteer and internship opportunities await you in California’s capital city. You’re practically an adult now. Wake up and smell the hangover breakfast. Then go out and make something of yourself. We’ve got a few tips to help you get started.
