California State University-Stanislaus Top Questions

Other than the usual frustrations that most students go through while attending school such as assignment deadlines or financial issues, I would have to say, personally, that the most frustrating thing about CSU-Stanislaus is the duck feces that crowd the campus walkways. Who wants to worry about stepping in duck poo while walking to class? About every weekend the walkways are cleaned, but it doesn't seem to be enough-they should be cleaned during the week as well. Other than that being my biggest pet peeve against the school, I find the university overall as exceptional.

The most frustrating thing about my school lately is due to state buget cuts. It is becoming harder and harder to get classes. Being a double major, it is making my four year plan turn into a five year plan.

The Most frustrating thing about my school is the amount of preference there is towards the faternities and the sororities. I would prefer that the jobs that most students need would be distributed evenly among the students that are associated with fraternities and sororities and the students that have nothing to do with them. Hopefully when you are ready to come to this truely beatiful campus things would already have had changed.

In my oppinion, the most frustrating thing about school is taking notes. I am one of those persons that loves school and I love everything about it. I enjoy going to class and learning new things but like i said before I get frustrated when it comes on taking notes. For the fact that it is essential to take note in all of my classes i try extra hard to focus.

The most frustrating thing about CSU Stanislaus is the budget cut, and how it affects everything around the university. For one, it cuts back classes. This affects students because they have to stay in college longer. Secondly, it affects the professors. Due to the cuts, the University hires a lot of temporary professors with no office or office hours. Students who need the extra help are left to search for answers elsewhere.

The cost of tuition and parking, lack of classes.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the lack of character that most people have. When you go to college it is important to branch out and be yourself, and nobody has anything to lose. College is a fresh start, you make yourself be whoever you want to. Its important to stay true to your values and stand apart from others.

Right now it is really hard to get classes because of budget cuts. Also, tuition has gone steadily up for the past two years. Even though we pay more, it seems like we are getting less.

The most frusterating thing about my school has been the scheduling conflicts between when the classes are consistently offered and my daily schedule. While consistency is a great asset, flexibility is an even better one with such a diverse population of students.

Lack of classes.

The most fustrating thing about the school I attend is the variety of extra-curricular activities, or lack there of. The school's website might claim to have several, but in reality many of the clubs are not in progress anymore.

Overall, my school has helpful faculty and staff and a comprehensive list of classes available, however with budget cuts and the economy many classes have been cut. As an upper division Child Development Major, I have had a hard time getting the classes I need to graduate in a timely manner. Our school is one of the few schools that offers a winter term, a fast passed 5 week class period where students can complete a class quickly, but with the economy the classes offered are few and far between and next year winter session won't even be offered.

I am currently attending 2 graduate schools. One of my schools is in the process of getting accredited and the most frustrating things is the difficulty in getting school loans due to the lack of its accredidation.

I believe the most frustrating thing about my school is currently the changing of computer systems, which no one seems to know the correct answer of questions asked. As an example; trying to get status of financial aide. When approaching someone in the office you were told one thing and then the next day by someone else it was a totally different answer. I had to request a supervisor or higher up to get the answereds I needed.

All the different ways they have a student pay their fees.

The financial aid office is very busy and it needs more people working the front desk.

This institution is geared toward cranking out teachers at an alarming pace. Do not attend if you are not considering a career as a teacher in a K-12 school.

Finding a parking lot during the afternoon times sometimes can be a hassel.

small population and barely known.

The fact that the classes are focused on the 'get in, get out' mentality, not immersing students in the college experience and pushing them to dig deeper. This is due in large part to the Provost hassling the faculty about research and international publications. This is not a UC. I did not choose this school because I wanted to do research based work. I care about the individual and the administration does not. They care about money and numbers.
