San Francisco State University Top Questions

I wish I would have been more educated about learning how to study properly. Although I was enrolled in AP classes in high school Learning how to study was never a real priority...Now it is what passing a class really comes down too. Even if you complete every homework assighnment you will not truely benefit without knowing how to properly study.

Before I came to this school, I wish I had known that the school fees would increase significantly compared to the past years. It's difficult for many people because they are struggling financially, and I most definitely would not want to be one of those people, so this scholarship would really help out a lot. Along with the increasing school fees, my parents' salaries are being reduced significantly and I look forward to fulfilling my dream of becoming a pediatrician. Without money to support myself, this scholarship would change everything.

no

The only thing is if I were to have a major in mind so i can easily go towards that direction without taking other unneccessary courses, both GE and majors.

I would still attend this school if I had known but would have attended a little later so that I can save money by working low-paying minimum wage jobs. In any case, attending the school for it's economic situation or knowing that the economic situation -- both worldwide and domestically, would still make me attend my current school for all it's qualifications that fulfill my standards.

Before I came to this school, I wish I had known how to obtain Cal Grants. If I had gotten grants, I would not have had to get loans for the past 2 years and I would not be in debt to the government.

That there was a recession on the horizon. I wouldn't have taken out loans to complete school and I wouldn't have left my job to finish senior year faster.

I wish I knew about all of the requirements needed to graduate. San Francisco State University has many different segments which are clusters of classes needed to graduate from the University. When talking with my friends, they are usually shocked to hear how many classes I need to take in general education to graduate from San Francisco State. Students at San Francisco State tend to find themselves remaining longer than four years, because of all of the requirements.

Nothing really, I'm not easily bogged down by the unexpected!

I wish I would have known how much tuition would be increasing.
