What's up guys, I'm looking into San Diego State University pretty seriously. Do we have any SDSU students here that can share what the daily life is like on campus? Any info about classes, social life, clubs, stuff like that would really help me out!
Response: Hey, glad you're considering SDSU! While I'm not a student there, I've had the chance to gather some insights from several students. Campus life at SDSU is known for its vibrant and dynamic environment.
As far as the classes are concerned, the class sizes tend to be smaller which is great for interaction and attention from professors. The faculty, in general, is considered to be very supportive and great at teaching their respective fields.
When it comes to extracurriculars, SDSU offers a multitude of clubs and organizations that cater to a variety of interests. From academic clubs, cultural organizations, service groups, to intramural sports – you name it and they have it. It's an excellent way to meet like-minded individuals and to explore interests outside your major.
The social life at SDSU is often described as active and exciting. The campus hosts many events throughout the year ranging from concerts, speaker series, to student showcases. Also, SDSU is located in San Diego, a city known for its beautiful weather and beaches, so there are many opportunities for outdoor activities like surfing, hiking, or just hanging out at the beach.
Also note that SDSU has a Division I athletics program, so if you're into sports or enjoy that kind of school spirit, there are plenty of games to attend.
One more thing to keep in mind is the campus housing. SDSU has a policy that requires first-year students from outside the local area to live on campus, which many students say helped them adjust to college life and form close connections with their peers.
Remember, visiting a campus (virtually or in person), speaking with current students, and doing your own research can give you a better sense of whether a school might be a good fit for you! Good luck with your decision.
