California State University-Northridge Top Questions

I would have to say the most frustrating thing about my school is finding parking, it is almost impossible to find a parking space and will take at least twenty minutes to find a parking space due to the lack of parking structures.

Finding parking can be frustrating at times, and sometimes students have to park further away from their classes then they would like. I have also heard people complain about buying the parking permit but not being able to find parking. Also as a mostly commuter school, at times the traffic to actually get to school can be a problem for students.

Up until now, CSUN has been nothing but great. However, due to the current budget crisis in California, CSUN has experienced a lot of setbacks. One of the most notable setbacks is the increased tuition fees. Although the fees are relatively low, many students who don't get grants or scholarships are having a hard time paying for their tuition. Furthermore, professors were given a ten percent pay cut, which has resulted in many furlough days. A raise in tuition and a decrease in overall service has made many students frustrated and mad, myself included.

The most frustrating thing about the campus is the line to get a computer for the free printing. the other frustartaing thing is finding on campus jobs.

Registering for classes.

The most frustrating part about being a California State University, Northirdge Student is there are not enough classes offered at CSUN. Many students at CSUN find themselves in a bad position come senior year because there are only a few of each type of class offered and many students who need them to graduate. This issue forces many students to graduate a semester late.

There is a lack of "school spirit" because CSUN is a commuter school. Many students live 30+ minutes away from campus and as a result they fail to attend many school sponsored events, such as basketball games, school dances, etc.

My biggest frustration on campus is encountered whenever I am trying to gleen information regarding campus information. Whether it is a question about Financial Aid, On-Campus Housing, or requirements for entering the different graduate programs, it seems there is never just one source with complete, concise information on the subject matter. It is, at times, difficult to ascertain if one has received all the vital information on a given area of inquiry.

Again, parking.

Some professors are rude, when you are trying to learn the whole college experience.
