San Francisco State University Top Questions

I learn as I go...it's part of growing up.

I just wish I had known more about financial aid and how to obtain scholarships and such.

Budget cuts of state school

TO BECOME AN IN STATE RESIDENT.

This school is a commuter school so students are always busy with something; therefore it is difficult to hang out with someone on a whim.

I wish I had known more about the extracurricular activities offered and the clubs and organizations around the school. I also wish I knew a little bit more about how the classes are scheduled and what each of the course numbers stood for.

I know this sounds silly but I wish I knew the true cost of college in the Bay Area including living expenses it is not cheap to live here! I wish someone told me to save up more before I moved here.

One of the things I wished I had known before I started attending SFSU was a bit more about how the classes were going to be. At SFSU, when you start attending new classes each semester, you can never be quiet sure how the class is going to be, so that is something that I wish I had know before hand.

In hindsight, I wish I had known the importance of reaching out to other students and staff. It wasn't until my final few semesters that I realized the reward of sharing and expressing my personal goals within my school community. Especially at this particular college, others are extremely open in helping and guiding you through your personal academic journey. Through this collaboration and synergy between students and staff, the sometimes scary and undefined journey becomes a very attainable and rewarding endeavor.

I wish I had know that tuition was going up the second semester I attended. Now the fourth semester I am going to enroll in is going to experience severe budget cuts. Some classes that I need may not be available, so my education may be prolonged and it will eventually cost me more than I had anticapated. I also wish that I knew the economy would be in turmoil like it is now.
