San Jose State University Top Questions

The most frustrating thing about my school is dealing with the administration. I had an issue with my classes being dropped mid-semester, which was a complete glitch. I ended up having to go back and forth trying to get this situation figured out, making sure that I can simply get a grade for my classes. It was a huge hassle for me and the problem has still not entirely been fixed. It is ridiculous how often a person working at the student services center does not know what they are talking about or how to fix a problem.

Although my school does have a college football team, they are known for losing every game. This isn't very important but football games bring about a sense of spirit and it is tough to foster that feeling when the team is constantly being beat by other schools.

One frustrating thing was the fact that teacher would put so much pressure in class and add class assignment week after week. Another thing would be that this school is so unorganized, student had to keep track of there personal information because sometimes students service would lose the information and financial aid lacks in processing information.

Probablly that there's many graduation requirements and that it will be hard to graduate in four years.

It is extremely difficult to get classes as San Jose State University in the 2009-2010 school year; I attempted to add 4 classes last semester (spring of 2009) and was only able to get into 1 of those classes.

The most frustrating thing about my school to this point is the amount of "disconnection" I am feeling from the student body. I feel unchallenged in the classroom, and I do not mix well with the students I have met through my job, living in my dorm, and through other club activities. The people at SJSU just don't feel like they are my kind of crowd. I feel unchallenged by teachers in the classroom as I notice their lowered standards for other students. Coming from a private high school, this jump to a public system has been a shock.

The fact that it is hard to reach the professors at times, one of my professors even messed up one of my grades and gave me a grade lower than what I should have received. It took me all summer to contact him so he can give me my proper grade. He even had the audacity to lose one of my papers that he made me return to him because he forgot to record the grade. The neighborhood is not very safe at night around my school, people are not very friendly either.

The most frustrating thing about my school is when there was a fire drill for parking garage and it took them five or more hours to clear it. More frustrating is that there was never any information on fire drills and how to prepare for them. I was stuck outside in my pajamas with no shower, having a class and an interview.

The biology office is staffed by rude people and it takes them forever to get things done. Admissions is always losing things
