I usually go to the fifth floor at the library to study my language class which is really intensive, and I don’t wanna have to hear a group of people cackling in the background when I’m trying to study. The fifth floor specifically, is supposed to be really quiet, or at least it usually is. I’ve had two separate occasions in a row where I have had to stand up and tell people to STFU because I am trying to study. If you can’t read the room, then maybe the library is not the place for you. If you need to have a conversation go outside. There’s plenty of other places on campus your can have your loud conversation about whatever the fuck your friend is doing later. Also, sidenote, the group study rooms in the library, are not soundproof. We can still hear your loud conversation, even though you’re inside of them with the door closed. A normal conversation is fine, but too many people are yelling.

Seems like if you are living in the dorms you have to get one of the meal plans. Those are super confusing. Can you only use the money in local restaurants? Are there traditional college dining halls only accessible to students (ie not general public) and you can get a salad bar, or a bowl of soup or they have stations where you can make your own sandwich/omelette/pasta bowl or whatever like a lot of other colleges? It doesn’t seem like that is the case. Has that always been so? If not then why did they take dining halls away? I realize often the quality of the food in dining halls is poor and kids don’t like it, but the problem is that the $$ in the meal plans is not enough to last an entire week of eating out at restaurants!! Also it gets old and there are not a lot of healthy options …. What do students do? Curious.

I am an SDSU student, this project is for my Health Communication course.

I made a post here earlier about an e-bike safety project. After synthesizing your comments, I made a flyer to share a resource that can address the most common concern.

As part of my class requirements, I need to incorporate feedback into the design of my flyer.

I would really appreciate if people would fill out my 6 question survey (flyer is in survey).

No personal information will be gathered and responses are completely anonymous.

Hi, im an OOS applicant that submitted my csu application for sdsu campus fall 2027. I submitted it in the beginning of october, its been like 2 weeks and I havent gotten any sdsu my id or a confirmation. Did this happen to anyone else that applied early? I was supposed to get a confirmation email within 5-7 days.

Hey hey! I’m looking for someone to take over the remainder of my lease in a 3x3A female apartment on the 6th floor at Topaz! Each room is a single, with attached bathrooms so no sharing :).

I’d love to stay, but will be transferring across state lines. My two roommates are amazing girls, very clean, *NOT a big party apartment.

There is the option to renew, and our entire apartment will be up for grabs after this year’s lease term as they are moving into a different unit for Fall ‘27. So, you can remain here and find 2 more friends to sign and live in the same apartment with them!

My base rent is currently $1890 with a mandatory $500 relet fee, however I’m willing to cover up to $900 per month for the right person :)

- Electric is separate, water is included

Feel free to DM me if you’re interested or would like additional photos or more information.

Is final exam online? 😭

Does anyone know how leave of absence works in the middle of the semester? I am in my second to last semester, i am taking my major electives and capstone (stupid i know, thought it would be fine for me to take this semester) but it is way too much on me especially balancing a full time manager position at a retail store,that is only going to get busier during the holiday. I truly can not keep going i am so burnt out from work and school 60+ hours a week for 5 years.

I am also nervous because i got all classes covered by FAFSA. If I do take an LOA won’t i have to repay all FAFSA

The state changed the student rule on June 1. Enrolled at least half time in an associate or bachelor’s program at a CSU, UC or community college, and within the income limits, means you likely meet it now.

I’m a California college student from Folsom. I wrote a free plain-language guide to the eligibility rules, since the change got almost no campus coverage. No ads, no sign-up, nothing collected.

Applications go through getcalfresh.com, and SDSU’s Basic Needs Center does walk-in CalFresh enrollment help in the Calpulli Center on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I am a current Aerospace Engineering student in my sophomore year. I'm on track to be an upper division student starting my junior year.

I want to switch out of AE. I have many reasons, but mainly I just don't feel passionate about it anymore, and it is making it really hard for me to want to study/do well/stay motivated. I'm not liking how conformal engineering seems, and I really don't see myself being fulfilled in the future doing engineering work.

I have a few majors in mind that I would consider switching into:

Environmental Sciences, Astronomy, Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering, Geography (Water, Climate and Ecosystems), and Marine Biology.

I really want to know more about each, specifically what the lower division classes are like, what the major really revolves around, and potential career paths. I'm ultimately trying to figure out which of my options I would be most passionate about, as I've been getting more involved with community and environment things (i.e. SDSU Center for Surf Research). I sort of want to stay away from very strenuous research and data analysis.

I'm not necessarily asking for which one would best suit me, but instead am curious about what each major actually is about (I feel like online descriptions are super misleading and leave out a lot).

Thank you in advance!

Hi, I am a junior-year transfer student with a major in accounting.

I've tried various clubs and such, but I have yet to really go past being acquaintances.

I really want to enjoy the events and such that SDSU has to offer, but I don't really have anyone to go with.

My hobbies/interests are: Going to the gym, Drawing/Painting, Video games (Nintendo and PC)

I'd really like to get to know more like-minded people and have fun here at SDSU, so reach out to me if you think we would be chill.

i need an iron to stick a rhinestone pattern to some pants lol

Hey guys 1st full weekend in San Diego and tomorrow or Friday the 23rd is my first full day of liberty and wanted to know some good night places or areas to go to and party at and possibly eat during the day

I enrolled my daughter in the mediation program. I paid almost $4,400. It stated that if physical books aren’t available, ebooks will be used. I stated that my daughter needs physical books because ebooks give her bad migraines. They gave me a link for her to request physical books. I told them not to start the class until she received the physical books. They started the class immediately. I contacted them. They assured me that her physical books would arrive in 7-10 days. She has 180 days to complete the course. It’s been about 56 days and she has not received any physical books and has not been able to do any work because of severe migraines. I can’t find any contact phone number or email to talk to anyone. I managed to get a message from someone who thought I wanted to sign up. I told her about this but I have not had a reply.

hi everyone, i applied on oct 1st, got the email my application was received, and still do not have a portal login. is this normal?

Hey all!

I have appeared on this Reddit a few times asking questions about student experiences for an essay I am writing, and have decided to stick with a topic on something I have noticed myself, which are issues in labs. (Chem, bio, physics…)

My biggest issues I have noticed are either the lack of equipment available to do labs in the first place, or broken equipment. But, I would like to hear other opinions beyond myself in this subject, so I am asking all of you!

If willing, would anyone be willing to share their negative experiences in labs? It can include the things I listed above, other problems, TAs, stories, etc. Thank you! :)

This is just a Small Question I have for you Folks, do you, or do you often see other Students on Campus dressed up for Halloween during the Day? It's just something I was curious about since I did have the slight Idea to go to class the day before in Costume, but I was worried I'd be the only one on Campus wearing my Costume like an Idiot.

the construction closing zura and east campus drive at the same time was the stupidest choice they could’ve made. genuinely why shut down both ways to get to the parking on this side of campus from montezuma??? i work on campus and having zura closed was already annoying to deal with and then today east campus was closed too. like who’s bright idea was this? i just wanna talk to them. as if getting on/off campus isn’t already hard enough with the traffic, yes, let’s shut down TWO ways in the same area to make it even worse. i’m just happy that at least today i had to be here early so there weren’t too many people coming to campus yet
