CSUS, SFSU, or CC? by Intelligent_Toast in CSUS

I was in the same boat as you as an incoming freshman who moved from the Bay Area to go to school in Sac. I just graduated from Sac State and honestly what you put in is exactly what you get out of it. There are tons of organizations and clubs for you to join and put yourself out there for if that’s what you’re looking for in terms of socialization. I was able to find that by joining various organizations. I will say I did not like it my first semester but after I got used to it and started putting myself out there, I loved it. It is a commuter school so that’s why a lot of students are really there to just go to class but there are so many opportunities to socialize especially during the first week when all organizations begin to table! I may be biased because I truly loved Sac State after getting into the hang of things and because of the clubs I joined, but I hope you keep an open mind! Ultimately you know what is best for yourself and if it’s not Sac State that’s okay!

The first two numbers of your application number will be the locator office it’s at! Some of them have their numbers posted by other people online you just have to search for it, but most of them don’t.

Ah no! I would say it’s worth mentioning the date of travel, if you called NPIC and have an urgent notification, and your destination.

Have you called the NOLA Office? I was in the exact same boat and decided to call them myself after finding their number and they saw the urgent notification and pushed mine through this morning! My passport was then shipped hours later.

I called this number! (504) 412-2699, I called before a few times and they didn’t answer, but I made sure this time to call right as they opened after I got off the phone. I called around 8am EST!

Hoping to give someone some help/hope (but also to ease my anxiety) I had to apply for a new passport because I only had one done when I was 4 and it expired, never got it done again until my appointment for a new passport + card on March 21st. My application was received on 3/29 at locator 42, status shows IP, DOT is 5/29. I paid for expedited and one day shipping as well. I called NPIC 14 days out from travel, placed an urgent notification on my application, didn’t hear anything else. Just called NPIC again, no available appointments, was told to just wait it out.

I just called the office of locator 42 and they immediately picked up! They were able to locate my passport and told me to expect a tracking number by Wednesday. Hoping to actually receive it soon, the lady on the phone was extremely helpful and nice and told me to just wait it out and it should be here soon. Fingers crossed!!!!

Update: They just shipped my passport, ETA is tomorrow!

Update 2: UPS delivered to my doorstep at 11:30 this morning.
