California State University-Sacramento Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about California State University-Sacramento? Why?

Tanya

The worst thing about the school I have encoutered so far is the way their financial aid works. If your financial aid does not come in by the time classrooms are in session, you will be dropped unless you pay out of pocket. This happens even if they know for a fact that the money is coming directly to them. At which point you can re-register with hope that those classes are still open for you to get in. It's an uncomfortable feeling!

Of the issues that are currently present at CSUS, the one that truely bothers me is on-campus smoking. When walking into each building there is a sign that reads "No smoking within 20 feet of this building." However, who is actually watching? Many students selfishly and carelessly walk around campus puffing clouds of smoke into the other students paths. I feel that CSUS should take the much needed action of permanently and totally banning smoking on campus.

The worst think about my school is Financial Aid. Not only they charge you a lot for tuition and registration fees, they ofently don't manage the student's money well. My friend had her classes dropped because her financial aid didn't come in time and she couldn't pay for her classes. Also the people who work there doesn't really seem to care or trying to help the student when the financial aid made a mistake. I think if the financial aid has better management to the student's money, the school will be better.

The worst thing about my school is that classes fill up really fast. Because of the budget cuts, many sections closed and it is practically imposible for some students to enroll in certain classes. The good thing is that those classes give priority to the students within majors that are required to take those courses. Being not confident about what classes you will get into before the semester starts is the worst thing about Sac State.

The worst thing about Sac State is the fact that I have to leave it, grow up, become an adult, and find a full-time job. I am sad to let go of this part of my life. I guess that parking can sometimes be outrageous as well; especially on Tueday and Thursday mornings.

The worst thing that comes to mind when I take Sac State into consideration has to be tuition. I think any student there would agree with me. I have been at Sac State for 3 years now and every semester, the tuition has gone up. Currently, it is close to $2600 per semester. Sure it less than if you were to stay on-campus and having to get a meal plan or housing, but when you take into consideration money spent on gas, books and food, that $2600 tuition is not just $2600.

Yolanda

The worst thing about my school would be that its so crowded during lunch time and in betweern classes.

Olivia

Sometimes, i feel like they should work on communicating with students better.

Job opportunities are not throughout the school year, they are only open at the end of each semester, so those who have been fired/ can't find a job during the summer cannot rely on the Fall to get a job, instead they must wait until Spring.
