California State University-Sacramento Top Questions

There really is not much about CSU Sacramento that is frustrating. Maybe som classes but that depends on the way the professor teaches the class and my understanding of the course work. But the CSU system as well as the school is very easy to understand and the least bit frustrating.

I sometimes have so much to do and when the sujects are difficult, I feel really furstrated and left out, especially when i do not have well communication with a particular proffesors. I also have some financial problem, therefore I push myself too much in order to stay focused and not lose my previlages that I get from school and to make my dreams come true.

The most frustrating thing about this school is the expensive tuition fees that were increased 32 percent last semester. This decision affects every student in varying degrees but nevertheless it impacts studentds academically, financially and emotionally. It should be mention that the spring semester of 2010 could not accept application to enroll due to the fiscal problems and thus turning away many prospective and bright potential students.

Right now the most frustrating thing about CSUS is the budget cuts. Due to these cuts many classes were cancelled and all part-time staff let go. Every person I have talked to including myself have no more than two classes this Spring 2010 semester. This pushes back our graduating dates and will cost us a lot more money in the long run.

Attending CSU Sacramento is a struggle for me. I am a mom to a four and half month old baby boy and I live about an hour and a half away from Sacramento. It frustrates me that I have to commute so much every week to go to the school I want to attend. People wonder why I don't just move out there, and I tell them it is because I help my mother out financially and in return she takes care of son while I am at school.

Finding parking is pretty frustrating. There is a small parking lot in the front of the school and three parking structures. Two of the smaller ones fill very quickly and are completely full by 9am. The largest parking structure in the back of the school always has parking, but the walk to class is slightly longer. Although somedays you have to compromise on where you park, it's not nearly as bad as it could be.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the fewer classes that were available during spring 2010 registration. Sacramento's State Hornet Newspaper stated that ,"Although Sacramento State received $1.5 million from the chancellor's office to add more classes and sections to the spring semester, certain departments still have to make cuts."It is unfair to all students especially graduating seniors who need specific units to graduate on time.During the fall semester we suffered furlough days, jeopardizing our education and now we must suffer a lack of available classes only jeopardizing even more.

The most frustrating thing about the school is our budget and the lack of funding, which has put a damper on classes that are available to students. The has brought about a more frustrating environment to both teachers and students. Tuition has gone up and professors are forced to take furlough days. "Paying 10{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} more for 10{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} less"

I would have to say tuition, parking and books. At the same time that goes for pretty much all colleges. I wish tuition was lower, parking passes were cheaper and books did not cost so darn much. I am learning that books get more expensive the farther one gets into their major.

Parking is an absolute nightmare. Another issue is that we are considered a commuter campus, which does not lend itself to school pride. Campus activities are not well attended, but hopefully in the next few years these issues will change.

The most frustrating thing about my school would have to be the furlough days that started just this past year. We are paying more tuition for an education and then we recieve less instruction days because it requires that the instructors not do anything school related on those days. That sets us, the students, back and we end up having a limited amount of time to learn the material. It just seems unfair, and that is probably the most frustrating thing about the school.

Right now the most frustrating thing about my school is the fact that students are charged more each semester to attend the school. Textbooks and fees are always rising and it is becoming unaffordable to most students. On average, I spend about $500 to $600 dollars a semester on textbooks and supplies for my classes. This is outrageous! In one of my classes, I spent $150 dollars on a textbook that the class didn't even use once.

I feel that the most frustrating thing about my school is the availability of classes. In my four years at CSUS, I have seen it get more and more difficult to sign up for the classes that a student needs. The professors do try to give preference to graduating seniors so that their graduation won't be delayed another semester; but by this time, the student has been rejected from many classes and his or her graduation has probably already been deferred. Unfortunately, this is something that almost all students are experiencing as well.

The administration and staff is extremely combative and not helpful at all. They do nothing to help students navigate through all the red tape involved in selecting classes, paying fees, and applying for financial aid.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that it is really hard to get the classes needed to graduate. The classrooms are small or tightly packed and by the time registration begins a lot of classes are already full. My school also doesnt allow you to create a wish list before registering for classes, so it is a hassel to complete class registration.

the most frustrating thing about my school is that i commute 45 minutes everyday! I work 2 jobs to try and save money to move closer!

I don't like the fact that it is a commuter school because it lacks a sense of togetherness that is really wonderful in a school.

Summer financial aid is paid out during the second half of the summer, so summer school is paid out of pocket. Also, parking for certain majors is not very close to the buildings that house those courses. Also, certain degree-necessary classes are not offered every semester. Some professors are not very challenging and grade a little too easily, while others are overly demanding.

The most frusterating thing about my school is when professors cancel class and you don't find out until you get there. I feel this always tends to happen with the early morning (7a.m.) classes, normally those that are electives. Other than that parking is also a big problem at CSUS as there are not enough spaces.

The most frustrating aspect of my school doesn't necessarily qualify as negative. There is a wonderful variety of student organizations at my school and so many opportunities to get involved that often you don't always have time to participate in everything.
