San Francisco State University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Alex

I wish I had known what I wanted to major in. When I got to SF State, I started off majoring in Creative Writing. I soon realized I did not need a major to learn how to write fiction, and I had no idea what job I could get with a Creative Writing degree besides writing stories and novels. I switched over to Journalism, which I enjoy and have also discovered I could put my creative writing skills to use. However, because I took so long figuring out what I wanted to major in, I will take longer to graduate.

I wish that I had known the difficulty to enroll in classes. I also would have liked to have known all of the requirements for my major. the school breaks down its graduation requirements very well but there was no hint at how many requirements there actually were.
