California State University-Fullerton Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about California State University-Fullerton? Why?

Angel

The worst thing about Cal State Fullerton is the increasing tuition and parking fees. These increasing have made it very difficult for me to attend since I do not get financial aid anymore.

Joanna

The only thing I would say the worst thing about this school is, would be that the only sport that it is good for is baseball. It does not have a strong football team, and for me, coming from Texas, football was an important sport for me to follow. As far as everything else, the school has generally expanded. Its a great school to be at.

Kaitlin

Parking. There are over 35,000 students who attend this school and many commute so parking seems pretty impossible for a lot of them.

Charles

The worst thing about my school is that it being a commuter school makes it so the Student Body and school spirit are not as strong as they'd be on a campus where people primarily dorm or is centrally located. Although there are some activities planned throughout the day and in the Titan Walk, the majority of activities are left up for the students to plan on their own, outside of school. I feel that this makes the school less of an experience, and more of a place where we simply go to class.

Jasmine

One of the negative aspects about Cal State University of Fullerton is that the price for book and tuition is outrageous. Compared to other schools it is probably considered cheaper, but buying books is impossible to save a couple of bucks. You are not allowed to resell your books once you are done with your class, you can only sell them back to the bookstore. If you get caught trying to resell them you could get kicked out of the school. All the books are only available through the school's bookstore.

Jorge

I would not say that this is the worst thing about my school, but at times I have felt that for me personally I've encountered professors that are not very motivated to teach their subject. It is as if they seem uniterested in the fact that they get to pass on their knowledge to students who are interested in this field of study and wish to be successful in it.

Ruth

Our wi-fi. I would love to be able to do work any where on campus. I really perfer working outside unfortuanly our wi-fi doesn't work that well outside.

Bradford

I didn't really look at the worst things and looking back to see if I have a particular criticism it would be the impaction of the classes. I know there are large number of students enrolled in the school and a limited number of classes available to meet the requirements within a particular time frame. Because of impaction I was forced to take just one class in the summer that was relatively expensive compared to the same class offered in the spring or fall semester. In order to graduate I also had to pack in more in one semester.

Tasia

I would say the fact that we have so many students at this school would be the biggest problem. It makes it very hard to get the classes one needs to complete the right credentials. It also makes class sizes very large as well as hard to actually get to school due to all the incoming students every day at the same time.

Raquel

The worst thing about Cal State Fullerton is parking. Although, there are three parking garages there still is not enough spaces for all the students. During prominent hours you have to get to school very early in order to get a spot.

Taiyelle

The worst thing about our school is that there are so many smokers on campus in areas where there are children and people who dont smoke. Its the worst because I have asthma and it hurts my lungs to walk on campus and breath.

Emily

Counseling was difficult at this school, and it was difficult to get in to see counselers. Be proactive about your program and make sure that you are doing everything right. There's enough information available to you to make this simple.

Nicole

Getting financial aid on time, health center getting appointment when you need one like never happens, some people have a hard time getting all of the classes they want

Luis

Parking. It is hard to find parking sometimes.

Kellie

The worst part about Cal State Fullerton is definately the commute. The freeways around the scool are constantly congested, forcing you to spend hours a week, besides class, sitting on your rump.

Stephanie

Finding parking at CSUF is quite a terrible adventure and is almost impossible. If commuting, one should plan on arriving at least an hour before their class begins in order to find parking and still have time to walk to class.

Heather

Parking and dorm costs for the semester are outrageous. Parking for a semester is over $200 and still hard to find a spot. Dorms often shut down during breaks, such as spring break, leaving students no choice but to find housing elsewhere for the time.

Jennifer

The worst thing about my school is parking because it sometimes takes a while to find parking due to the fact that there are so many students. I try to go to school early to get parking, and sometimes it takes me more than 20 minutes just to find parking. No matter how early I go, it takes me awhile to find parking.

Amber

I would say the worst thing about my school is the cost of winter and summer intersession classes. I would like to not take a break of school, but it is difficult to attend the winter and summer intersession classes because of how much my school charges. The fee is $780 for one class. I enrolled in a class for this winter, trying to finish college on time, and not have to deal with paying for another semester. I work really hard to keep my grades at a proficient level and I hope it truly pays off.

Kristen

The worst thing would probably be that there isn't a lot of school spirit. Baseball is really big at Cal State Fullerton but that's about it. I think that a lot of it has to do with the fact that it is mostly a commuter campus.
