California State University-Fullerton Top Questions

What's the most frustrating thing about California State University-Fullerton?

Reanna

Budget cutbacks have greatly affected my school. Therefore, the amount of classes being offered are limited. This means that there are more students trying to get into the same classes, which makes enrolling into a class difficult. Many students are finding that the classes they need are either full or not being offered.

The most frustrating thing about this campus is trying to get into all the classes you need to graduate; with the budget cuts it has impacted the amount of classes offered. Also, parking can be very frustrating

Ana

I would say just tying to find the your class on the first day.

Tasha

they are currently getting rid of a ton of classes, and it is hard to get the schedule you want

The most frustrating thing about school is when you contact a teacher multiple times about a specific question and they don't get back to you. College requires a lot of independence so for me it is important if I have a question that the teacher responds back to it so I can fufill the requirements.

I find it very frustrating that my school does not have any recycling bins on campus whatsoever. There are also no Waste Management recycling bins in any of the off or on campus housing. I currently do not see any organizations on campus that are focused around preserving the environment or practicing and promoting"green" habits. The bathrooms are messy because the school has not replaced the paper towel dispensers with energy saving dryers.

it needs a paint job. some of the buildings are antiquated its depresssing. People have jumped off of buildings because its seriously needs a different kind of touch . It needs More trees, not enough trees, a row of cherry trees, and blossoms would be nice, A firepit with some fire. Too much concrete not enough trees, the library needs someone to fabreeze the books and clean the floors with some pinesol Maybe some new book shelves. and better lighting. and desks in the book side of the library. maybe some couches, and some symphonic music n the background....

There is currently a lot of construction going on to build larger dorms and a new parking structure. Although it will definitely improve parking/traffic conditions in the future, right now it causes a lot of back-up and tardiness. Some people have to leave much earlier to get to school on time. I park off-campus and walk which I like, but I've heard many complaints about the lack of parking.

Cody

I love my school and the only thing I would change is to request they lower the parking fees.

Harry

Parking, Registering for classes (getting the schedule you want), recent tuition raise (but thats all cal states).

Amy

Thanks to all the budget cuts, classes are being cut so not only are there a significantly smaller amount of classes, but also it is very difficult to try to add the class. Not only that, prices are going up on EVERYTHING. Parking is also ridiculous in the mornings.

Right now there is a fianacial crisis in the Cal State and UC system, so there are cut backs of the amount of classes and faculty available. Also, there is not a lot of affordable housing near by and only a limited amount of oncampus housing. I am married and there is no married housing or any medical coverage or care for my husband- not even if we paid extra for it!

Danielle

The cost of tuition. While it is a CSU which is cheaper than a UC or private institute, the current budget crisis of the state has caused tuition to increase and now the financial plan that I had will only cover a partial amount of my time here on campus.

Dameion

Financial aid disbursements are late. Policies override huministic values.

Erika

The fees have increased due to the budget and the availability of classes needed to graduate have decreased.

Thomas

As a commuter the most frustrating thing about my school would have to be parking. I feel that if you do not dorm that you miss out on an experience that you won't get back, plus you will have to deal with the parking issue. If you have the money you should definetely dorm! Other than parking, the school is great!

Kimberly

I wouldn't consider anything about my school frustrating. The only problem is the parking structures which can get extremely busy during school. They are already making a solution, though, by building more areas to park so that this will no longer be such an assue.

Courtney

That I am afarid I will not have enought time to study.

Amy

No school spirit. We advertise like crazy and offer rewards to those students who come, but still no one attends sporting events on a regular basis. There is also a huge discrimination against womens sports. We get larger crowds at mens games, but no one comes to the women's events.

Leanna

There are many students on this campus, so it sometimes difficult to make friends in your classes - some students only go to classes for the credit or for their job and don't get attached to the school itself. However, you can make friends if you really try at it! People here are definitely friendly and fun.
