California State University-Fresno Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Tanya

Just because there is a lot of access to parties and night life when your a freshman, doesn't mean that should be your whole social life. Ge involved with something that has a purpose like a club or a sport. And just because the professor doesn't take attendance, the information isn't important. It will be on the test. So get out of bed and go to class.

Julie

It's not as challenging as high school teachers make it seem to be.

Christopher

Before coming to CSU Fresno, I wish I would have known how approachable professors are. The begining of my first year professors seemed so scary; as time went on, I became more comfortable and began to approach professors with surprising ease. I wish I would have known how willing professors are to help their students; I would have learned so much more.

I wish I would have known how independant I was going to have to become, I was not prepared for it at all. During my first year of college I had moved out of my parents house and with it came a lot of responsibilities, that you often hear but never really understand. Paying bills was the hardest things for me, I had assumed that I had been awarded with sufficient amount of money to sustain a stress free life. That was certainly not the case, I struggled financially and still do to this day.

Kayla

Before I came to Fresno State Universtiy, I wish I had known how limited the options were for on-campus living. There is only one place you can live if you plan to stay on campus, and the apartments near fresno are either too expensive or of poor quality. Upon first moving in, I quickly discovered that my roommate and I disagreed on matters such as hygiene and cleanliness. The on-campus living would not have been so unpalatable if the roommate selection process was more extensive and primarily focused on similar interests, or at least compatibility.

Edgar

Where all the buliding and facilities were located at. The first day I came to school as a freshman here, I didn't know where were my classes or where was the library. But, after time I came to explore and discover everything.

Karlena

There is nothing I wanted to know more about.

Destiny

I wish I would have had more knowledge on the school and the background of the city.

Allie

Before I came to California State Univeristy Fresno I wish I would have known how much the university is lacking in funding. After my first year I came to know that Fresno State is one of the most conservative university's in the CSU system. We greatly lack recycling and enviromental awareness which is ironic becuase it is the second most poluted city in the nation.

Patricia

I would have like more information about the services available at the school, from the time I came and now there has been changes now the new students recieve more information than I ever did.
