    The professors at Sonoma State will definitely challenge you to learn more and expand your horizons. Granted, you may run into one or two who are not exactly stellar professors, and you may get a few that are just plain difficult, but overall, the professors are willing to work with you and help you learn all you can. Not only are the professors really good, but the class sizes are generally nice and small. If you are planning on sitting in the back and snoozing during class, I wouldn't recommend it unless you want the professor to know that you could care less about their class because they will know you by name. The small class sizes make it really great for getting to know your professors really well, which is a big plus for you when you want to really get to know professors in your major. read full review

    As a music education major, I am taking six music classes my first semester. The teachers seemed to want me to get into the classes I need and sat down with my for over an hour, one-on-one, to help me get the education I need. I'm in 3 general education class. I have no problem getting classes and the teachers care about my education. They are very helpful at office hours. While they make learning easy, you have to do your fair share too. read full review
