San Diego State University Top Questions

the school is too big

The sorority/fraternity culture. You cannot turn a corner without seeing a Kappa Delta or Alpha Chi Omega bag. The sororities breed a lack of creativity and individuality that I find demeaning to the campus.

Probably the worst thing about my school is the class availability. If you're not a freshman good luck at getting classes!!! it's impossible!!!

I believe the worst thing at San Diego State is the reputation we carry. People see our school as a "party" school and it lowers our creditability as a University.

Getting the classes you need/want can be difficult.

I would consider the worst thing about my school to be the lack of available parking. Everyday the parking lots and garages fill up at 10 am and there are extremely few spaces available until about 1 pm, this causes traffic problems sometimes, but more importantly causes students who need to park between those times to be frequently late to their first class of the day. Because so many students are hunting for a limited number of spaces in the lots and garages they tend to take it out on one another in the form of road rage.

The worst thing is school spirit. We are passionate in the classroom, but as far as recognizing what a great institution San Diego State University really is, we lack it. With recent events, our school has gotten some bad reveiws, but that aside, have pride! I am happy to say that there is not one day that goes by that I don't say "I go to San Diego State University and I am proud of it!"

We need a better football team.

The lack of direction by the majority of students. Very few teachers I have had tend to inspire students or really seem passionate about what they do. It's hard to feel like you have accomplished things when many of your teachers just lecture off of powerpoint and other slides.

This college is very large, the parking is a problem and the reputation for lack of safety and the party school atmosphere is probably accurate.
