San Diego State University Top Questions

What's the most frustrating thing about San Diego State University?

Shannon

Registration for classes is single-handedly the worst thing State forces its students to endure. Classes are full within a few days and priority is not distributed fairly which leads to extended graduation dates and more money spent on tuition.

I think the most frustrating aspect is trying to get the classes you need. I basically had priority registration this semester, and I still didn't get one of the classes I was hoping for. This makes me worried about getting my classes when I'm a junior because they don't have priority.

There are many: frat life is disgusting and overwhelmingly prominent, there are few bastions of art, the area of the city is quite boring and suffocated if you do not have a car.

Blanca

The most frustrating thing about my school are the long lines at the food court during lunch hours.

Marissa

Unfortunately, San Diego State has the label of a "party school." This becomes frustrating for students, like myself, who came to SDSU because of their outstanding acadmeic program for my major because now have employers automatically associate San Diego State as a party school rather than a school that focuses on academic achievements. Although SDSU has an award-winning academic program, it is often overlooked due to the inaccurate assumption that San Diego State is only a party school.

I don't know.

Matthew

The most frustrating thing about the school is once again how impacted it is. But besides that being an African American at the university I have to deal with the blatant lack of diversity at the university and in some cases what seem like a bit of acute racism.

Jana

The most frustrating thing about school was working with the administration office. As a teenager/young adult I didn't always know what questions to ask the administers or counselors. I always felt misinformed or confussed with the direction of my education.

Heather

The most frustrating thing about my school is the parking situation. There are no parking structures that are directly linked to campus. It is not only difficult to find parking, but no matter where you park, you always have a long walk to class.

It is far from home making trips to visit my family for the holidays expensive. It is frustrating that money is holding me back from visiting my family and having friends and close relatives visit me on campus.
