San Francisco State University Top Questions

Describe the students at San Francisco State University.

Candace

Most that I've met have been very friendly.

I think the more common dress student of the College of business are wearing business casual, because i think alot of them want to impress the teachers or they have to run to work or are just coming from work. I think alot of other students out side the college of business wear skinny jeans with tight shirts and shoes. I think most students are of the mid to lower middle class. Alot of students either live in the area or have to commute from where their parents live because the bay area is so expensive.

Even though the largest concentration on campus is business, it certainly does not seem that the business students are not the most involved. This is probably because us business majors have no time, but it may be also because as business majors our focus is more so on the job market and not school unity?

Students at SFSU come from all over the bay area. some reside near campus but a good majority commute. parking near and on campus is nearly nonexhistant. most people will take some form of public transportation and others will drive in. We have parking lots but when you already pay toll and gas, parking fees are not something you want to incur. Students are diverse. We see retro hipsters who ride there bikes with skinny jeans, their scarves and beanies. Then you've got the majority of people in sweats of some sort because the weather is always chilly. Then you've got the girls who are dressed to impress. What students wear on campus is just variant as the different personalities they carry.

SFSU consists of an array of individuals. You will meet people from all over the world and all walks of life. You may sit next to a freshman straight from high school or a mom who has decided to finally go back to school after raising her children. We are extremely diverse. People are very accepting so regardless of who you are you will find somewhere to fit in.

Blake

very mixed student body. everyone seems to mingle along together well enough

Albert

People on campus are very nice. I met a lot of exchange students from IEEC. I built a very great networking around the world.

My school is in San Francisco so LGBT students wouldn't feel out of place at SFSU we do not discriminate. We have all sorts of clubs from religious to academic. We do have a lot of international students, mainly from Asia. These students tend to hang out with people from their own race because they feel comfortable speaking their native language so they may be the ones that feel out of place but now that I think about it who wouldn't in a completely different country. Students don't think about money, as a matter of fact I didn't know how much an accountant makes until I joined ASO. From my experience students are interested in traveling right after college and yes eventually we do think about money. If I'd said we didn't I'd be lying. We all think about money but at SFSU we think about getting an education first and then gaining experience to be successful in our lives. Our tables at a dining hall will have people from all parts of the world:asian, latino, black (although we don't have many black satudents), white, middle eastern, etc...we are truely a diverse campus. But of course just like in many universities there will be segregated tables but we don't see many at state.

I don't think anybody would be feel out of place at SFSU. Most student are politically aware, and they are active. Like the descriptions I've describe above. Most students wear jeans, and shirt to class.

Kelly

I've join a lot of good organizations at school, where I've meet people from different parts of the world.
