The worst thing about CSUS is the location. I say location specifically because the area of Sacramento CSUS resides in can be unsafe.

The worst thing about Sacramento State has to be the costs and cuts to the school. I pay over double what I used to pay for a full time load when I started at a four year university. Furthermore, some of the teachers have had to take furlough days or classes have had to be cut to accomodate the low amount of money that the college is able to provide for each program. Our costs are high, but some of our classes and teachers are being cut.

I would say the worst thing about Sac State is its administration. You have to jump through hoops to get the simplest things done, like transferring community college classes over to your transcript. I had a tricky time with the Financial Aid department especially. They asked me for a number of forms, which I filled out and handed over in good time. They then claimed that they did not have everything they needed, put a hold on my record, and asked me to resubmit the forms. I stood firm though, and they took away my hold.

Classes fill up quickly so it's difficult to get the classes we need, and tuition has gone up A LOT since I was a freshman.

The cost. If there is ever another answer to this question, I'd love to know what it is. The cost of college is appalling. It's amazing that the poverty level in the U.S. isn't worse than it is.

The worst thing I consider about my school is the quality of food that is served in our Dining Commons. Every time I finish eating my meal my stomach hurts and I become extremely tired. When it first started happening, I thought I was the only person who did not enjoy the quality of food. However, several of my peers also experienced the same dissatisfaction.

What I consider worst about my school is our financial aid office. This past semester I experienced the biggest scare of my life. I thought I wouldn't be receiving my financial aid in time for the semester to be paid off. That day I walked into the office there was a long wait. Once I approached the front and was attended the receptionist was no help when she told me my aid would not come in on time and that the only thing I could do was switch to the installment plan and I was left feeling helpless.

The worst thing about CSUS is the control of the CSU system on decisions at the school. Many of the CSU decisions do not adequetly reflect the wants and needs of students at specific CSU Universities including Sacramento.

There have been some recent sexual assault issues on campus. I think campus police need to patrol more often or just have more police on staff, especially at night or when it is starting to get dark. People are supposed to feel safe on campus and if that comfort is lost then Sac State is going to lose a lot of students.

The requirements. There were so many classes that I did not need for my major CORE classes. I also couldn't get into my major classes, being now, two years behind. It is ridiculous how you have to take general education classes with your major classes. It defeats the purpose of college. It is good for those coming in college as undecided, but I've declared a major and cannot be able to begin it at all. It's frustrating.
