San Diego State University Top Questions

I love SDSU but I have found that people tend to form in groups by their majors or if their Greek which I find hard to socialize.

Everything revolves around greek life. If you don't want to be involved, go to a different school.

I think our school is very big on sororities and fraternities, which I don't exactly like. Also I feel like our professors could sometimes do a better job of teaching us the material.

The worst thing about San Diego State University is that it has a horrible reputation of being a "party school." Playboy Magazine recently named it the top three party school. The fraternities and sororites definitely play a big part in that and the drinking and drug-using definitely has an affect on students' performance in class.

San Diego State has a reputation as being a party school. Being located near a popular beach area gives many of the upper classmen the opportunity to go to bars and clubs. SDSU is waht you make of it. Like any campus in the U.S. there is going to be a party but there are many alternatives to parties if that isn't your scene.

The distance from home. Its nice to be on my own and experiencing college life away from my family; but sometimes I wish I was a little closer to home so I could see them that much easier

The worst thing about San Diego State is its reputation as a party-school. It is true that we have the most attractive people, the best parties and the wildest rock concerts, but that is in addition to the encouraging and nurturing scholastic environment. SDSU conducts important research and produces intelligent thoughtful graduates, but the party-school reputation detracts from that.

I think as much as the school's ideology encourages interaction among students, it is not so much encouraged in class projects such as group assignments. Also there is always much activity going on on-campus, but I don't feel I hear about all that goes on; I get essentially all my information via email and feel that I don't recieve enough enough updates and the schools online calandar of activities is insufficient.

It is becoming very difficult to get classes with budget cuts. and an increased demand for education. The solution has been to pack more students in each class or to go hybrid. Many teachers offer hybrid classes - part on-line, part in class lecture - to accomodate the student load. The large class sizes coupled with less interaction with the professors is not an easy transition for most students.

Lack of parking and quality off campus housing

Parking

I think the worst thing about the school is the party atmospher there. I do not drink a lot and it is anoying to have so many people who get drunk every weekend.

The worst thing about SDSU is the lack of small classes. Many of the professors are incredible and will get you passionate about what you are studying, but because of the budget cuts, many have been fired or forced to teach in large lecture halls.

worst things are the parking situation, buying a parking permit does not guarantee you a parking spot, th e lack of elevators in the older buildings.

The worst thing about my school would be boring teachers. The teachers COULD BE a little bit more upbeat about the subject.

After graduating, hearing that there were several students who were caught selling illegal substances. Many of the students were affliiated with fraternities and sororities. It was dissappointing to hear since the school has a party repuation and is now linked to drug use. As an older student, not living on campus, I was not exposed to the circulating drugs and alcohol and I think that people will get the wrong idea about the school because of this incident.

All the things that had happened, a lot of drug dealers and a lot of students doing drugs.

The only thing that i would conisder the worst thing about my campus is the parking situation. Not enough parking to share with students and special events. Also the availability of classes.

The worst thing about this school is not having enough courses. There are many students enrolled in this university but not enough teachers to support courses for all the students.

I am sometimes late for class because I have to walk a mile to get across the campus to another class. It is not that big of a deal but it is one thing that slightly bothers me. There is not much that I don't like about it.
