California State University-Sacramento Top Questions

The worst part about going to CSUS is how many classes they are cutting and how many students they are filling classes with. If you work well in large groups and can handle large classes, then CSUS is the place for you. Although they are cutting quite a few classes due to the current educational funding, CSUS still offers a ton of great classes.

The worst thing about my school is the registration process for classes. For my spring semester in Sacramento State University I did not have the opportunity to take the classes that I had chosen with my academic advisor. The Chem 4 class that I wanted to enroll in was full before I even had the chance to sign up. In another class I?m number eight on the waiting list for Bio 1, I expect that I will make the cut for this class. Hopefully everything will work out once the semester starts.

To me the worst thing about my school is the fact that they don't have as much on campus activities as most CSU's. It would be fun to be able to go to the school and interact more with students. Also most of the activities usually are for a good cause so I could be making more friends while helping someone out. I would like to attend as many activities on campus as possible and if they were to have more it would be even better.

I think the worst thing about my school is the current cost of living on campus. It's highly convenient to live there, espcially with the new apartments suites they opened in the Fall 2009, but considering that due to budget buts space is limited in classes, furlough days are every other week and upper division classes fill so fast it makes it difficult to create a schedule, the added cost of living on campus is stressful.

Truthfully, I really dont like CSUS. It was a last resort school, since many schools denied me. The school doesn't fit me and I feel very much out of place her. I wish I could change my choice of schools; however, i can't , so I'ma strive to do to better.

the worst thing is how expensive it is. It is difficult to come up with the money sometimes that is why I have to rely on Financial Aid.

Lately, there are many cutbacks on classes, not to mention fulough days that cut out important topics that cannot be covered in the alloted time allowed. This is unfair to both the students and the instructors. Also, tuition rates have gone up making students not receiving financial aid less able to afford classes.

Currently we have had a 32{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} increase in our fees and the school, faculty and students have to take furlough days. Many of our classes have been cut and class sizes have gotten bigger.

Student involvement is not as great as other campuses. Since being a commuter school, students do not really get involve in activities as much as other areas. For students that are involved, there is such a small amount in each activities as compared to other big schools.

The worst thing about sac state is that we are a school that everyone drives to. There is not a whole lot of on campus housing so the interaction between students is mostly on campus because no one lives by each other.

Fall of 2009, I transfered to my current school and got the bottom of the barrel when it came to choosing classes. Not only did I not get anything that I wanted, I wasn't able to see a counselor over the summer to guide me unless I attended an $80 orientation meeting that I could not afford. The admistration and counseling services at CSUS are neither user friendly, nor easy to navigate on ones' own.

The comute to campus is horrible.

The Administration is slow and often unhelpful. People are smoking everywhere! Classes are jam-packed and the budget it dismal.

The worst thing about my school that I personally dont like about it is that considering the school is in the capital of California I think the school should be bigger and more spirited. The school is not Division One in any sports that I am aware of and I feel that Sacramento State should be able to compare to other state schools such as Penn State.

Needs more school spirit.

There is no weekend life and not much life in the evenings unless some major event is planned.

It's a commuting type of school, so the campus feel isn't really there, when everyone's leaving right after classes are done for the day.

The Dinning Commons is the worst thing. It's really bad. The food can be a lot better, but it is edible.

The Administration that doesnt listen to the needs of its students or teachers.

The worst thing about my school is the lack of food services.

Its not really bad but what bugs me alot is the fact that the nursing program at sacramento state is highly competative and impacted. Not only is it competative and impacted at Sacramento State but it is so everywhere else. But that shouldn't be the reason to not attend this school. I think of it as a way to push me to my limit to try harder and to do my best in order to provide the nursing department a willing, strong, and dedicated individual.

Sac State is a commuter school, so students don't have the same sense of community and school spirit that is typical at other universities.

California State University, Sacramento is just as much a commuter school as a large university. Although many people attend Sacramento State from places far away, there are also many students who attend from the Sacramento area and commute to school. This leads to not as much activity, both during the week and over weekends.

Not enough food variety

The majority of students commute to campus from the surrounding Sacramento area. The campus dies off around 6:00 PM and is completely dead Friday through Sunday. If more students were to live closer to campus there would be a more positive school spirit on campus.

The classroom buildings, because they are outdated and in need to be repaired and expanded. Some class rooms will be too small for the class size and there is not accessibility to newer technology.

Parking is very hard to find and expensive. It's a commuter campus and they charge $5 for parking no matter how long you're there and there is minimal temporary parking.

When I can't get into my classes, because there are so many few classes offered.

The worst thing about my school is the size. Sacramento State has over 28,000 students and growing. It's easy to get lost in the crowd.

However, CSUS is a commuter school and most of the students seemed to have full time jobs. Since the academic standards seem low most students do just what they have to do to get a grade and get out. If academic requirements and standard of grading were more stringent I would have gotten more out of my educational experience.

it is a commuter campus, so there is not much school spirit.

I only thing i really done like is all the walking I have to do on campus. this campus is a long rectangle and i have to do a lot of walking everyday.

The worst thing about my school definitely has to be parking. There is nearly 30,000 students that come here and parking is hard. There has been numerous times that I was late or even had to miss class due to parking. It really makes getting to school on time hard.

I believe the worst thing about my school is the cost of attending, becuase it makes it difficult to attend as well as the difficulty to focus on school work because of the added stress of finances.

I really do't have anything bad to say about Sacramento State.

The parking prices are very high

I think the worst thing at my school is parking because there are not much parking garages.

I am not sure as to what the worst thing is about my school. I seem to like every aspect of it and wont change it for anything.

Lack of school pride. It's a commuter campus so it is really hard to get roots in the school. For the first three years, I simply went to class and then went home. It was not until my fourth year that I got really involved in the entertainment industry on campus and felt that I had developed friends from the campus.

I hate that CSUS is a commuter campus. Students come from around the state to go to CSUS, but don't live in Sacramento. There is little sense of community or belonging there. There is no school spirit or school community around the campus. The school sports are unpopular with the general student population because everyone takes there classes, studies, and minds there own business. Many students will not make any friends from their classes because they have no desire to be socially involved/committed to the university. Students graduate without a sense of pride of their university.

the students, there was too many cliches.

The worst aspect about Sacramento State is that its such a commuter school; which makes it a lot more tough to make friends as well as in group settings and trying to find a way to meet.

The worst thing about my school is the construction that has been going on the past year. The parking is pretty bad from what I have heard as well, but I lived on-campus so it was never an issue for me.
