Certainly, I'd be happy to share some information on universities near Turlock.

First up, we have California State University, Stanislaus (often known as Stanislaus State), located directly in Turlock. It offers a range of bachelor’s and master’s degrees across various fields of study. As a CSU school, Stanislaus State is known for its affordable education and has a strong focus on supporting students to attain their career goals.

If you're open to travelling a bit further, you have California State University, Fresno (Fresno State) around an hour's drive away. Fresno State, like Stanislaus State, provides an array of programs and is particularly recognized for its business, engineering, and nursing programs.

University of the Pacific, located in Stockton, is another option and it’s about an hour away as well. It's a small private university known for its strong programs in the health sciences, including pharmacy, dentistry, and health exercise science.

All these universities have different strengths and campus climates, so I encourage you to investigate which may be a fit for you based on your intended major and preferences regarding campus size, student life, and so forth.

Remember that when it comes to choosing a university, the fit is more important than the prestige. You will be more likely to do well and take advantage of opportunities at a school if it is a good fit for you. Good luck with your decision!
