San Diego State University Top Questions

Describe the students at your school.

Maureen

My classmates are a diverse group of people in personality, background, ethnicity, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, religous beliefs, etc, and it is not difficult to get to know them unless both parties are unwilling to get to know each other.

Elizabeth

My classmates are fun, knowledgeable and very understanding.

Charlie

They are very liberal.

Lisa

My classmates are mostly sociable.

Alexandra

My classmates are sociable, friendly and willing to help a classmate in need (i.e. you missed a day or don't understand the material well enough, etc.).

Sarah

My peers all have the same desires as I do to learn and grow as students and individuals. It is very refreshing and motivating to be around students who value their education as much as I do, and I find it easy to work hard for my goals.

Scott

Ethnically diverse

Aurielle

Classmates are fun, friendly and helpful.

Chandra

Fun Loving.

Nicole

SDSU students are freindly, outgoing, and driven.

Kelly

Some are interesting and have original personalities, and others fall into the sterotypical southern california lifestyle that is portrayed in the media. In order to find a well balanced and interesting yet fun group of friends be prepared to put yourself out there in order to find your nitch. It is a big campus and it can be easy to get lost in the huge crowds.

Mitchell

Fun

Katie

very diverse in culture and in attitude.

lucia

Somewhat helpful and very competitive.

brianna

my classmates are a mix between oblivious and focused.

Lori

They don't care about their education they just want to pass so they can resume drinking and partying 24/7.

Jimmy

Mostly Fratty and Sorority.

Devin

I feel that all students would be able to find a group at SDSU that would make them feel comfortable and allow them to be themselves. Many students dress casually for class; for example, jeans, flip-flops, t-shirts, sweatshirts, sun dresses, etc. Yes, you can definately see many different types of students interacting whether in class, in clubs, or on campus. Most students at SDSU are from somewhere in California. There are some students from out-of-state and foreign countries, but the majority is from California. I think that you can find students from all different financial backgrounds, however in my personal experience, most people that I know are from very financially stable backgrounds. I also know a lot of people that work and support themselves through school.

Jessie

I hate AS. They think they own the school. Little clubs like mine always get pushed around by the massive AS stomping around the campus. The only students that might feel out of place here are the emo kids. Emo kids don't last long. It isn't uncommon to wear your swimsuit under your cloths during the warm days. After class, it's nice to jump in the nice new pool we have that opened up in Spring 2007. Yeah, they are about four tables in the dining hall, that's way it's always crowed. Most SDSU students are from around town.

I'm one of the few black students in class, so I find it unbelievable to think I don't stand out. There's little diversity, and it feels like no one's doing anything to make it jump up from its 3{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}. The LGBT community gets hate mail and crimes against them, which shows how indecent all of these little homophobes are. I think the students that would feel most out of place would be the black students like myself. Forget the homosexuality or the feminism. Being dark skinned makes you stand out. Of course there's different types of student interactions. It depends on the individuals. As for the dining hall, it depends on which place you go to. If you go to West Commons or Ciucuicalli, you'll find the jocks and the dorm kids. If you go to Aztec Center and East Commons, you'll find everyone else. Most SDSU students are from up north, most coming from well enough families that their parents pay for tuition and registration fees. And not all students are politically aware nor active. They hardly know anything unless its required in a class. I don't know if they're liberal, conservative or whatever. Most students I've talked to say "Get that money" but we really have no idea how much we'll earn in our respectable positions.
