San Jose State University Top Questions

The most frustating thing about San Jose State University is the nursing major. The major is impacted that there is now a "pre-nursing" section and then the actual nursing program. I recently heard that the pre-nursing is so impacted as well that new applicants can not put pre-nursing as their major any longer. That is unforunate because it's killing the dreams of many who have wanted a career in nursing.

To tell the truth, the worst part about my school is finding a place to park. Since we are in such a busy area with so many people who drive to school, the parking garages fill up incredibly fast. San Jose State should build another parking lot or not sell as many parking passes so the parking garages could be moderated.

I would say the parking I'm currently commuting to San Jose from Hollister which an hour drive and sometimes its hard finding a parking spot before class despite leaving early.

I think the most frustrating this about my school is trying to deal with the finanical aid office. They are are somewhat helpful, but it is hard to ask them questions.

The most frustrating thing about the school is that the parking is hard to get.

I would have to say the most frustrating thing was the cost of living. The dorms were expensive but in order to afford off campus hosing you had to have at least three roommates to stay in an apartment.

The most frustrating thing about SJSU is the classroom availibility. Many students have trouble getting the classes they need to graduate.

The financial aid process takes longer than it should. I also think that there are a lot of faculty members working in each department, so not everyone gives the same information all the time.

Finding classes that go with your schedule. Registering/getting into classes because they get full very fast.

The most frustrating thing about San Jose State University are the major budget cuts that effects students, staff and faculty. Many classes have been cut as well as the number of students allowed in each class. Also the implemented furlough days in which the staff and faculty must not be on campus a certain number of days each semester. This decreases the instruction time each semester which does not benefit the students who enjoy learning. Also the tuition rates have increased so we are paying more and recieving less from our school.
