I love how involved everyone is on campus. There is a ton of school pride because students really love their university. It is very exciting. You can be involved to whatever degree you choose, and I recommend being very involved. I love the gym! Great facility. And our sports teams are awesome. Men’s basketball is dominating! The games are so fun and we have one of the best student sections in the league! Sitting in the section with “the show” has got to be one of the most fun and engaging experiences ever! I love State!

Madisyn

My school when you walk onto it feels like a paradise. The campus is absolutely beautiful. BUT, I find I never really mention that when I talk about it. I only seem to ever say how happy I am here. I am in Circle K and Entrepreneur Society and they alone let me know I am in the perfect spot. This is where I am suppose to be. I tell them classes can be challenging, but the experience I have been getting here is worth every sent I pay.

San Diego State is know for its great reputation and high graduate rate. Even though I haven't started yet, I have heard nothing but great things about this school. In my acceptance letter, it said that more then 60,000 people applied and I was among an elite group of students who got in so I felt special.I definitely bragged about that.

San Diego State has a lot to offer students and is well connected with the city. There is always something going on on-campus, whether it's a basketball game or a concert. Also, San Diego State has the reputation of being a party school, however there are plenty of students who are academically focused, and plenty of things to do that don't involve drinking.

Laura

I live by the beach and get to obtain a great education at the same time. We have big lectures, but at the same time we get the chance to sit in small classes and get our opinions heard. There are tons of departments and classes to choose from, that sometimes it is hard to pick out classes. And even though it is an impacted campus, I still get all the classes I need.

Blair

I dont this school as pushed me so far away form what i want to be that i have repeadedly want the drop out and just get a job. I am smart enought to do what i want and this school has done nothing but introduce me to drugs and taken my money so that i know stress about were to live on a daily basis when i run out of rent money. So in short i dont brag about my school

SDSU is a great school, people just need to focus and stay on track. SDSU has excellent professors, very intelligent people, however, it is a party school, therefore students need to stay on track and never forget that education is valuable.

Kelli

It's always nice weather-wise down here. When making my ultimate decision, it was between San Francisco State and SDSU. I don't think I could have handled fog everyday. Right now it is November, and I'm wearing shorts and going to the pool still. Also, most people are good-looking down here, which is weird but nice.

Moises

The Chemistry and Biology Laboratories are top-noch, the University is beginning to only accept the "cream of the crop". The Aztec Recreational Center is one of the best work out facilities I have ever seen. The professors may not be very well known experts of their field but they bend over backwards to help out their students.

Anna

I say that San Diego State University is a fun campus, and there is lots of opportunity to do whatever makes you happy.

Jeannette

I love to tell them about all the international students at SDSU! The International Student Association is very awesome when it comes to assimilating American traditions. For example, last semester one of the events was prom. Everyone dressed up, bought their tickets, and voted for prom queen. I was actually one of the runner-ups for prom queen. It was a terrific event! I'm not an international student myself, however I love to meet new people, learn new languages, and experience different cultures.
