Fresno State Public Urban Bulldogs Scenic Nature Outdoors

Tucked away at the heart of the Central Valley, California State University, Fresno, sits on the northeast corner of town where the cityscape begins to give way to the Sierra Nevada foothills. Among the excellent academic and research resources at Fresno State are some unique facilities like the planetarium, winery, and on-campus personal horse stables.

Most of the area surrounding the campus is made up of residential neighborhoods, so you have a wide array of options when it comes to finding a place to live within walking distance that fits your budget and lifestyle. A few choice hangouts are also close by, including the popular Red Wave Inn, Mad Duck Craft brewing, and the Maya Cinemas. Fresno’s enviable central location also puts you just a few minutes away from the region’s stunning Sierra National Forest, and within weekend trip distance of both Los Angeles and San Francisco.
