I think there should be more focus onadvising, career planning, job placement, resume writing, interviewing skills, etc.

The worst thing about my university is the recent tuition increases. I worked hard during my senior year to save money for tuition. I graduated as the valedictorian with a 4.3 GPA and did receive a large academic scholarship. I selected a university near my employment so I could continue to work as my parents had catastrophic medical needs and could not help me with tuition. However, the month I started college (Aug. 2009) my college tuition increased by 38{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}. I needed to come up with an additional $2,100. This wiped out my savings.

Thai

The worst thing about my school is how there is an emphasis on increasing tuition while there is not enough in upgrading classrooms.

Susan

Its size is too large and could be overwhelming for freshman

jessica

The worst thing about my school would have to be the lack of freshmen involvement. I don't think that we are given the appropriate information to participate in clubs, volunteer work, etc. because of the fact that Sac State is a commute school. Due to this there is not much social participation for incoming freshmen.

Chia

I think the worst thing about my school is the distribution of the school money. Administrators pays go up, lots of money are invested in the looks of the school, yet, we have one of the lowest retention rates in the CSU system.

CSU Sacramento is a great campus, students recycle, there are always events and job fairs and more. Students there are friendly. The only thing that may seem a bit scary are the squirrels. They are great and there are a lot of them, buti think they rely so much on peopel to feed them now that they seem to follow anyone with food in their hands. I only hope people will stop feeding those poor animals so they learn to fend for themselves.

Jennifer

Students do not care about academics and look down somewhat on those who do.

Amanda

The science equipment and science buildings are the worst thing about my school. The school promised a new science building about 6 years but has not delivered. The classrooms are not up to date with today's technology, and cannot accomidate the amount of students taking these courses. Since budget cuts happened at my school, the school has slightly increased class size.

Sonia

I consider the parking availability and traffic it causes to be the worst thing about my school. Students consider parking to be an issue because they find it hard to find a spot to park in or have to come to school a half an hour early to find parking. There have been reported incidents of hit and runs on our campus. The traffic congests a lot, as well, due to this. Overall, parking seems to be the issue most students have at my school.
