I think the worst thing about my school is the athletics. We have very good athletic teams at our school, however our fields and gyms are very old and bad. Our Volleyball team could not even play the finals in our gym because it was not regulated. I think with good sports teams we should have better facilities, maybe then more people would come to the games.

The worst thing about my school is the disconnect between students because of the commuter atmosphere of the school. There is very little school spirit and sense of pride in being a Matador. Most students come to school for class only and never get involved in any of the extracurriculars available on campus.

The only thing that comes to mind are the "furlough" days, where professors are required not to teach in any way for a few select days due to the budget cuts. It feels as if I am paying more for school but going to school less. The instructors don't particularly like it either, and as a result some assignments may be dropped so I feel I am not getting the same education as someone else received last year.

The area around CSUN is not pleasant. Northridge is congested with cars, freeways, and consequently automobile traffic. I constantly pass by accidents on my commute to school. Crime in the area is another obstacle to going to school in Northridge. Fortunately I don't live in the area or dorm in campus housing. Although CSUN is not in the most pleasing areas, I am receiving an excellent education. I am blessed to be in CSUN's Athletic Training Education Program which is one of the best sports medicine programs in California.

It seems be in the middle on no where. Not much to do out here.

I consider the lack of school spirit to be the worst thing at California State University Northridge. A lot of colleges take pride in their school but Cal State Northridge barely shows any school spirit. For example, the Matadors which is the school mascot is rarly flaunted at any of the basketball games.

The worst thing to me is they don't offer the best in what I want to study. I want to major in business with a minor in music. But there are no music minor programs so I currently have to pay for private lessons untill I decide whenI want to major in music. I'd rather not major in music because I don't have an intensive background in the area but I love to sing and would rather have it as a back up plan.

the Heat/weather. its so far away from where i live, and everything down to a cheap little school folder is designed to bankrupt you.

The worst thing about my school is the constant rise of tuition. Many people are struggling to stay here because of financial problems, like myself. Financial aid does not pay for everything for some of us and that can lead to dropping out of college.

Parking is pretty bad. It doesn't effect most people who live close enough to walk (like me) but there are upwards of 30,000 students at this school, and a lot of them commute in from near by cities. I would definitely recommend moving near campus, ir into the dorms.
