San Francisco State University Top Questions

I wish I had known how to access my loans and whether or not I had summer homework.

I wish that I had known that this school offered a dental post-bac program and a dental advisory committee. It would have been very helpful in giving me assistance throughout my undergraduate studies. I definitely regret not knowing so. However, I don't regret not knowing because I have learned many things, grown, and became a stronger person as a result of the alternativre path I had taken to get here where I am today. Although, I'm now a few years behind, I'm glad that I have a chance to experience other things and had fun.

I wish I would have had a better handle on what I wanted to do. I also wish I would have had a better idea of how to pay for school ahead of time. I ended up changing majors which delayed my graduation. I am still trying to finish up the last few required classes, but since I am supporting myself, I had to take some time off and attend part time in order to afford to go.

What I wish I would have known before coming to San Francisco State would probably have to be the difficulty of finding a place to live. Being underage and attending college but not getting dorm space made it difficult to find a place to live, the landlords that I would usually talk to would not let me rent their apartment , so I had to get a roommate that was 18 so we could both find a place to live.

I wish I would have know what I wanted to go to school to become so I would have taken the right general education classes my first year. I also wish I would have known that there are not many openings in the science related classes so you have to register as early as possible to get in.

I don't wish I knew anything. I loved figuring out everything for myself. If I had known things prior to attending San Francisco State, that would have taken all the fun out of experiencing it for myself.

I wish I had known more about the different art majors. At SFSU we have both a Broadcasting major and a Film major and I was not aware of the difference until I started going to the school, which meant I had to change my major my sophmore year. I also wish I would have known about life outside of campus more, although discovering things about the city on my own and with my friends has been quite a journey.

I would have loved to know how exspensive it is to live in the city of San Francisco. Also SFSU has many graduation requirements that other schools do not require

I wish I had known that there is nothing wrong in going to a community college, and that there are so many more scholarships available to high school students then there are to undergraduates. I wish I had known that the SATS are a waste of time, and that seeing a counseler can mean the difference between wasted years and perfect planning. Most of all, I really wish that I hadn't let others decide my future before I had a true say, and that I had thoroughly explored my options before deciding on my path to my career.

How hard it was going to be finding a cheap place to live
