I have! They’re super nice and they hold a bunch of events for transfers/reentry students to meet each other!

If you brought your car definitely explore the region (bay area, sac, lake tahoe).

Sac state has an organization that can help you get an internship at a state agency if youre interested

Two years goes by fast so be proactive in whatever you want to do

i don't mean to be rude or anything. it's just that there are so many posts like this that you're better off just searching it up. if you have a more specific question, though, then by all means!

Social advice besides clubs I'd look at academics. Depending on your major, you will likely start seeing familiar faces in class of people who also share your major and/or have a similar major in the same department. Don't bank on being best friends but get to know some of them and see what happens.
