 " Loved university life. It was hard to have discussions with the professors because of the class sizes and their attitude toward giving time to students was not very supportive. Not safe to walk around at night, and the parking was a challenge. Some of the classes were outdated in terms of technology. "

 " The philosophy department was like a small liberal arts college hidden inside a university which I loved. Dedicated professors, thoughtful classmates. The larger university experience was unpleasant tho. The bureaucracy of meeting requirements was frustrating and the parking was terrible. Basketball games would take up whole parking structures and there were tons of unused staff parking near classes at night that I otherwise would have to park an unsafe distance away from. SDSU has a terrible reputation for culture and aside from my little corner in philosophy, I completely agree. "

 " Beautiful campus with lots of available spots to sit to study, read, and hang out with friends while you wait for your next class. The parking was never too bad if you don't mind walking up some stairs. My only complaint is that I wish classes I need to take were available for fall and spring semesters at more than one time/day. Also, fees can be costly for no apparent good reason. For example, I had to pay a $250 orientation fee that was over zoom! But hey, in return I got stickers, a drawstring bag and a license plate frame. Thanks, I guess. "

 " I attended San Diego State from 2015-2019 and I had a great experience. I majored in computer science and at the time the curriculum was very outdated. As of recently, the curriculum has been updated to more relevant material. The campus is amazing and has plenty of facilities for students to use. The school isn't too huge so everywhere is walkable. Additionally, since the school is on a hill I was able to get good exercise in. "

 " I love that the school has its own dedicated Trolley station. It's just a shame that it is also in an area where there are a lot of homeless people around the area that sometimes roam onto campus. Every department is different so your quality of education and support I feel really depends on the major you choose. They have LOTS of resources and aid for students though, especially those who are low-income or first-generation. "
