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

Ardith

The most frustrating thing about my school is the strict rules they put on the students staying in the dorms. While it's nice to meet friends, it feels like a prision instead of a fun experience. It feels like they are just waiting for you to mess up so they can kick you out , and if you get suspended or expelled they get to keep the whole years payment.

Our school was affected by the budget cut, and the fact that our school has more students then there are classes, it significantly affected the ability to get the classes you need for the semester. This has extremely affected when students are graduating from school. It is very frustrating knowing that your graduation date has been pushed back because there are not enough classes for you to take to graduate on time.

Daniela

SDSU has an amazing gym but not a lot of options to eat healthy :(

Alfredo

The most frustrating aspect of my school is registering for classes. There are many students at our school and classes tend to be filled very quickly.

Michael

That there are so many students, but not enough classes being offered for the number of students. So to fix this, the school is lowering how many students are admitted rather then hire more teachers.

Christina

The large size. There is a huge amount of students attending and the buildings can be very far away from each other. It can be frusterating trying to get to class on time in this situation.

Angela

It could stand to be a little more diverse. As well as a little less party oriented.

Alexandra

the most frustrating thing about my school is the furlogh days. Since SDSU lost funding, the classes have gotten larger and the teacher complain more about their pay cuts and how it is unfair to us.

Kelly

The most challenging part of attending San Diego State University is that it is such a large school, it may seem difficult meeting people and finding your place in such a large univerisity. At times, it may seem overwhelming when you walk around campus and it seems like there are always new people that you have never seen before. From personal experience, I have felt wondering what my place was in a school such as this, and in a swarm of people it may seem as though you are unable to define yourself.

Antonio

The most frustrating thing about my school is the budget cuts. It is so hard to enroll in the classes you want. I wanted to register for 18 credits but the school said no I can only register for 17 and if I wanted to take more I would have to crash those courses. Also nothing seems to get done because of budget cuts, 60 dorm rooms flood everytime there is a little bit of rain and they won't repair it even when we keep complaining.

Jing

Some popular classes have up to 200 students, so it's hard for the professors to concentrate on them individually.

Candi

There doesn't seem to be as much emphasis on academics. It is definitely more of a party school.

Danielle

Trying to find loyal friends.

Ryan

The most frustrating thing about my school is how impacted our classes are and how we are paying more money for less schooling. Classes are overcrowded and trying to get into your required classes is a major problem. Also, they continue to raise tuition fees, while cutting the workload of faculty, which affects how much students are being taught.

Saman

I am a 21 years of age have muscular dystrophy and wheelchair is my ride around the campus. There int much frustring me more than the campus is crowded and its hard to get into the classes on time. But for normal people there isnt much frustration.

Jessica

The most frustrating thing about school having a load of work to do from all different classes in such little time. It is also hard to make out a scheduele that I want because it usually is scattered throughout the week. Out of all frustrating things I believe that tuition is very stressful to come up with the money because it keeps getting higher and higher. Sooner or later I feel like I wont be attending SDSU anymore due to the amount of tuition that is needed.

Gabriella

The professors.

Randy

Every school has its flaws. Perhaps one of the most frustrating aspects of my school is shared by all schools. It seems that teachers get together and come to a common agreement that they will bombard their students with work and tests all at the same time. Perhaps it seems this way because the way the school schedule is constructed... midterms and exams usually at the same time.

Cassandra

Again, lack of parking.

Danny

They require far too many classes that have nothing to do with your degree, and all classes require almost no effort to get an A in.
