Athletics
The list of sports is long at SDSU: football, baseball, basketball, swimming, track, and much more. For you soccer players out there the college has both men’s and women’s Division I teams known as the Aztecs. Students who want to play sports but are looking for a little less of a commitment have dozens of school league sports called intramurals that are not very competitive and are more for kids that just want to get in shape and have fun playing sports with their friends. Intramural sports options include everything from basketball and tennis to games like kickball, flag football, and whiffleball. The Aztec Recreation Center and new state-of-the-art Aquaplex (with 3 heated outdoor pools) give students even more options to stay healthy and keep fit.

Sound intriguing?
With its strong academic background, fantastic location, and diverse student population, SDSU has the whole package! If this school sounds interesting, prospective students can take a closer look at www.sdsu.edu or apply online at www.csumentor.edu .
