San Francisco State University Top Questions

I don't really have any comment on the racial, religions, etc aspects... I know some people who are in the LGBT community, but I hear "that's so gay" and "faggot" way too often for my liking from some of the students while walking in random places... or maybe it's the high schoolers around SF that I hear it from... To actually have those experiences, you either have to know someone in the community already, or to search for them on your own (with the exception that they come to you). I know people of other racial backgrounds, and kind of talk to them, but I don't go, "Oh, s/he's _____, I must become friends with her/him". It's more of, if they smile and don't seem intimidating, then I make conversation. Usually I'm more self conscious about myself than concerned about what other people are, other than hoping that they're nice. What kind of student would feel out of place? Students who want to make friends but have fear of people might have trouble. People who work better in smaller classes also may not feel at place at SFSU. Most SFSU students are from CA. Many but not majority, are from SF. Since I live at home, I do find it difficult to make friends apart from meeting them in clubs, classes, or random encounters (this one's rare, but happens). I don't really know about what goes on with SFSU life, so I'm not sure if students are politically aware. I'm not... but half the people I know, are, while the other have is as in the dark as I am. As for how much people will earn, it's sometimes mentioned, but not too often, or rather, not to me.

Although SFSU is really diverse, I think people would stay within their own group at the end of the day. For instance, I have classmate which shows a lot of energy during club meeting and classes. Usually, she is the first one to leave the group when we are done with our study session. Somehow, it makes me feel everyone is here just to get the degree.

I think that racial segregation in between students is still seen.

I really do not think anyone would feel out of place, unless they are really not socially active. But I would have to say everyone is accepted (most of the time) especially the LGBT community because, hell, you're in the city. I'm pretty sure people are accepting of it by now (at least most of the students who attend this school).

Students wear jeans. They are mostly middle class.

It's certainly diverse. I doubt many students would feel out of place. I think because I grew up in San Francisco and there's such diversity in the city that don't notice much difference. It's very relaxed on campus. Every now and then you'd see students dressed up, but that's mostly because they have a presentation in class or they just came from work.

There is a lot of diversity at SFSU.

Way to liberal, unfair, close minded, never listens to anyone because they think their right.
