California State University-Sacramento Top Questions

Budget cuts and less available classes.

I am about to begin Sacramento State University this coming spring. I haven’t really had a negative experience there yet. One thing I can say is that it is somewhat difficult to speak to teachers in my Major, Social Work. I’m Hoping this will get easier as soon as I actually begin in January.

The worst thing that I consider about my school is the parking. I feel that they need to make more parking lots and may be wider parking structures. Parking lots a are always full and it gets extremly hard to find parking.

What I consider bad about this college is probably how old some departments are because of it's creepyness at night.

The worst thing about Sac State is the mismanagement of resources that leads to impacted programs and overworked professors.

The worst thing about this school is the fact that it is a commuter school. Although there are many clubs and fraternities/sororities offered, many students here just go to school and go home or to work. The school has made some changes to address the problem like adding a recreation facility. As well as that, there are many events held at the school to encourage students to plan their days around coming to a show at Sac State. However, there are still many students who do not engage in getting involved in this school.

I love my school, but the worst thing about it, in my opinion, would be the lack of class availability. I realize that my major incurs less of a population, but there are very few class times to choose from, and no classes offered for the summer sessions.

The worst part about CSU Sacramento was the commuters and lack of parking to accomodate for this demographic of students. Due to the high population of commuter students, there was insufficient parking and little sense of community among the students. This was challenging for all students that did not live on-campus or close to campus. I was living in Sacramento at the time but still had about 45 minutes to commute due to congested traffic and lack of affordable off-campus housing close to the school.

I feel like we pay for way more than what we end up getting, but other than that it is pretty good. Our tuition is outrageous, and our teachers don't seem to care or teach at the level I feel they should for how much money we have to give to the school.

Rising tuition rates each semester, more crowded classrooms. Tuition prices is a huge problem, even if someone does get financial help. They go up 5-15{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} every semester. Classrooms that consisted for example of 40 students is now 50 or even 60 in some.
