California State University-Northridge Top Questions

Parking

In my opinion the most frustrating thing about my school is the inability to speak to councelors when needed, one must make appointments one month prior. I find that frustrating.

Right now in my school the most fustrating thing in school is that classes are getting cut. Due to the cuts available classes are over filled. The Tution is still going up and there is not increase in the aid the students rrecieve.

The tuition costs was the most frustrating thing about my university.

You can never get all the classes you need. The way they set up registration appointments is what limits students. For me, I've had to take classes I didn't really need just so I could stay at full time because I could not afford to lose any of my financial aid. It's really difficult to pay for college when you get no outside help.

The most frustrating thing is a lack of communication between departments and the administration.

The most frustrating thing is class offerings. As with any other school in California affected by budget cuts the class sizes get larger and the selection of classes get smaller. It is getting dificult to get the classes I need to move forward in college. I hope that these problems are fixed in the future to allow students the ability to get the classes essential for their graduation and move on more quickly to find a job that interests them.

I would say that many classes have been cut and students aren't able to graduate on time. It's only getting worse as I hear often on campus. I've known a few people who have been victims to this and it's definitely not a good thing.

Time management is the most frustrating thing that I'm currently through right now. I work full time and attend grad school fulltime which makes it harder for to manage my time. Grad school takes a lot of my time and from doing projects, papers, and fieldwork that it minimizes time to work. I had to cut my working hours to focus more on school, which prevents me from getting my regular income and than stress over paying my bills.

Finding time for both my studies, volunteer services, and my organization meetings. There are so many things to do within 24 hours of each day. I just have to figure out how to manage my time correctly.

The most frustrating thing about school is trying to stay focused, sleep, and study at night especially when you live in a dorm because people like to party late at night/early morning and it's hard when you have a weekend class. Most of these people are somewhat inconsiderate to your needs.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the crazy amount of money they ask you to pay for the dorms, it is really frustrating having to commute from other city simply because you cannot afford the dorms.

The most frustrating thing about my school,is that its so far away from home. I dont drive yet ,i commute ; i take about 5 buses to get back home. Its tiring having to get home late , but it will pay off soon.

the most frustrating thing about my school might be the long lines that we as individuals have to make when we have to return a book, or simply just have other things to do in order to form a line, for example, ordering food, paying for a book, or simply like said earlier returning a book, etc.

I belive the transition to college, adjusting to a new environment, new people, and everything in general. Sometimes we can get frustrated because some of the people working there do not help you very well but I have been very lucky to find people that are very supportive with me and my friends.

With the recent budget cuts, lower level classes are impossible to add, so that is the most frustrating thing as of now.

The availability of classes. There are not enough range in the days that the classes are available, so I cannot really pick my schedule the way I would prefer it.

A lot of protesters come to our campus, which I'm sure is true of any school. It's sometimes rather hard to enjoy sitting under the palm trees studying when there are people with signs yelling about whatever religious/polical belief they happen to need support for this week. Don't ger me wrong, I'm very apathetic to the plight of the underprivileged, but I would really just rather go to school to learn.

This school is very much a commuter school meaning that many people attending do not live on campus. I am one of them. For people like me it is hard to be involved with the school and make friends because participating in clubs and events requires you to live close. Also if you live in the dorms you are much more likely to make friends than simply coming to classes and leaving. It is not terrible to commute because i have had the chance to be in a club and make a few friends along the way.

I don't necessarily find anything specifically frustrating about school. The only thing I've gotten frustrated about is when it comes to registration. Sometimes when you have certain classes, you can't register for a next level class until you have received your grade after the final exam, and sometimes by that time most classes that you may have wanted are filled. Then you may have to either be put on a waiting list or be hopeful that the professor will let you stay in the class. If not, then there is nothing you can do.
