What do you consider the worst thing about San Francisco State University? Why?

Again, I will answer about my previous school which was a local JC. The worse thing I would have to say is having to work while attending, its very difficult but it was needed for me, my parents arent in a position to help me much financially. Besides that, school is what you make of it, its hard work, lots of homework, thats probably the worst part, but Im sure most students would say that. Spend your time wisely, if you fall behind then it can get really bad.

I expected a little more interaction with people and a better support system from the school for the Students. More interaction in a sense where the school could have done a better job to inform and reach out with the Students to make it a more sociable and fun atmosphere. As well as a support system where they should have compassionate workers who wants to educate the students for the right reasons, where the school have alumni's and possible company outreach to help future graduates get a job.

I don't have much to say about this, except that is quite far from my family-about a nine hour drive. It makes the time we have together seem quite valuable.

The non-stop druguse by most of the students here. Most students involve themselves with drugs to "feel free" or to have a good time. As someone who is not for drug use this makes it hard for me to study or have my own freedom at the school.

Not enough print stations.

The worst thing about San Francisco State is the lack of school spirit. School spirit can have a huge impact on the students outlook on the school, campus, and staff. Being very involved and feeling as though you are involved in school can make the world of difference. School spirit can be anything from clubs, sports games, etc. Being involved with the school and school spirit, I believe that students want to go to school, and want to do better in academics and also represent the school.

Ana

There is not one thing that I could describe as the "worst" thing particular to my school but the worst thing about education in general is the fact that there are less and less resources for schools due to increasing budget cuts.

Shanika

The long lines for books and financial aid.

Helen

It's rather small and crowded with a lot of people.

The worst aspect of my school is the lack of motivation to succeed. There is no incentive for students to perform well at all. It is extremely frustrating to work extremely hard to recieve no reward and to see my friends fall behind in their grades because there is no reason to do well. The school does not seem to take academic achievement seriously and it bothers me very much because I want to attend a university that pushes me to do things I did not know I was capable of.
