California State University-Northridge Top Questions

The most frustrating thing about school is trying to stay focused, sleep, and study at night especially when you live in a dorm because people like to party late at night/early morning and it's hard when you have a weekend class. Most of these people are somewhat inconsiderate to your needs.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the crazy amount of money they ask you to pay for the dorms, it is really frustrating having to commute from other city simply because you cannot afford the dorms.

The most frustrating thing about my school,is that its so far away from home. I dont drive yet ,i commute ; i take about 5 buses to get back home. Its tiring having to get home late , but it will pay off soon.

the most frustrating thing about my school might be the long lines that we as individuals have to make when we have to return a book, or simply just have other things to do in order to form a line, for example, ordering food, paying for a book, or simply like said earlier returning a book, etc.

I belive the transition to college, adjusting to a new environment, new people, and everything in general. Sometimes we can get frustrated because some of the people working there do not help you very well but I have been very lucky to find people that are very supportive with me and my friends.

With the recent budget cuts, lower level classes are impossible to add, so that is the most frustrating thing as of now.

The availability of classes. There are not enough range in the days that the classes are available, so I cannot really pick my schedule the way I would prefer it.

A lot of protesters come to our campus, which I'm sure is true of any school. It's sometimes rather hard to enjoy sitting under the palm trees studying when there are people with signs yelling about whatever religious/polical belief they happen to need support for this week. Don't ger me wrong, I'm very apathetic to the plight of the underprivileged, but I would really just rather go to school to learn.

This school is very much a commuter school meaning that many people attending do not live on campus. I am one of them. For people like me it is hard to be involved with the school and make friends because participating in clubs and events requires you to live close. Also if you live in the dorms you are much more likely to make friends than simply coming to classes and leaving. It is not terrible to commute because i have had the chance to be in a club and make a few friends along the way.

I don't necessarily find anything specifically frustrating about school. The only thing I've gotten frustrated about is when it comes to registration. Sometimes when you have certain classes, you can't register for a next level class until you have received your grade after the final exam, and sometimes by that time most classes that you may have wanted are filled. Then you may have to either be put on a waiting list or be hopeful that the professor will let you stay in the class. If not, then there is nothing you can do.
