San Francisco, CA
San Francisco State University

I love the campus, the education, and the vibe. A lot of us are aware of the situations of the country and we do what we can to help make change. SFSU was what began that spark in me. I love it, the only thing I would change would be to incorporate more professors and add more classes.

I’m so glad I made the choice to come here. Everyone can fit in.

There are some great professors and like any institution there are some horrible professors. advising can be a hard task here as well. getting mixed information seems to be a trend. capping classes when super seniors are waiting to take classes they need... ridiculious

So far, I love it everyone is so friendly and building community is really easy. Teachers are always available to help and will reach out to you if you're struggling. Living on campus and attending class has taught me the importance of taking education by the hand and prioritizing your time efficiently .

This is my first year going here and hopefully I like it.

The campus is beautiful and breath taking, and the students who attend are known for their passion. It’s amazing how the community in and out of the university is so involved and always searching for the better of their own lives and society’s. I feel as if the alumni of SFSU are the trailblazers of modern day society from the news given through their student portals.

I will be attending SFSU in the fall but from what I have from current students, SFSU is a great school academics-wise and is big on getting involved in extracurricular activities. The off-campus life can be a bit challenging since the cost of living is a very high demand, but you get your bang for your buck so to speak.

I really like the environment and the academic life at San Francisco State University, although I had problems when it came to enrolling into courses. I wasn’t able to enroll into Pre-Calculus my first year due to my low ELM scores, for my counselor slightly aided me but couldn’t do much. I enjoyed most of the courses I took during my freshmen year, most of my teachers tried to add their own flavor to grab the students attention. Though some were successful in trying this, some were not. This happened in a class I took, where the teacher failed to enlighten his students and many dropped out for that reason. I wish my school was more my spirited, for my school is a commuter school, so a lot of student leave after they finish their classes; so there is no real connection between the school and students. Most of the school’s events are hardly advertised, so a small amount of students would attend them. I was in that small amount, for my residential advisor was extremely spirited and notified everyone she knew about these upcoming events. Another issue I have is that my school charges the students a lot for housing, tuition, food, etc., but do not use that money to repair or remodel the buildings in the campus. I have seen a lot of buildings that need serious repair or remodeling. I overall enjoy being a student at SFSU, I learned a lot my first year. I was able to find a well-paying job all on my own, I had really good grades, and I befriended a lot of people. Plus the school is super clean, and are trying digitize all text books for easy access. I am looking forward to my sophomore year of college and the things to comes.

I personally love the school. I've met some amazing people and experienced a lot of growth because I went to this particular school. SF state is a school that is memorable because of the level of intelligence it exudes-- one year at SF State has taught me more than my 12 years in the public school system combined. I learned about culture, religion, music and pretty much everything I have ever wanted to know. But, I think the best thing about San Francisco is the people. I have so much love in my heart for my professors and the potential life-long friends I have met. Being in SF has allowed me to further my education in all the right ways, and has definitely molded me into a better person. I enjoy the welcoming environment and I am proud to call myself a Gator.

San Francisco State University has many things to offer a student in terms of academics, activities, clubs and more, but like many universities out there, it will relentlessly beat you like slave. In the many cases of when the school will abuse your butt is when you are unprepared for what is to come. Similarly to real life, the professors, faculty, etc. will care about you and your situation, only when you have shown them that you care and will put the effort and work to make your situation a better one.
