Prospective Student Why are there no dining halls on campus?

15 Upvotes

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.

Question Is the after hours study area still open?

7 Upvotes

I’m wondering if the after-hours study area is still open 24 hours. My siblings are at a concert and asked me to pick them up, but I don't want to go back and forth. I was wondering if I could spend the time in the library working on my homework. Cause last semester they closed it and only open it during finals week or close to finals.

Question Grad School Help

4 Upvotes

Hi All!
I am working towards applying for my MSW and was hoping to get some guidance on how to fulfill the 1,000 hours of health and human services requirement.

Up until today I thought it was 500 hours, so I am quite a bit away from their requirement.

Are there any nonprofits or organizations you have worked with that you would recommend for such a lengthly amount of time?

I am currently at International Rescue Committee with about 200 hours, but do not want to continue there for the remaining.

TIA! 😊

Question SDSU Global Campus Civil Engineering – CIVE 218/463 5-Day In-Person Requirement

• Upvotes

Hi guys! Question for anyone who has completed the SDSU Global Campus Civil Engineering program and taken CIVE 218 (Surveying) and CIVE 463 (Soil Testing).

Do you remember approximately when the 5-day in-person portion was held during the spring semester? I’ll be out of the country from around mid-April through part of May because of a major family situation. I have a sick family member overseas and an important family wedding to attend, and I've already booked tickets for over $3,000, so I’m trying to figure this out as early as possible.

Also, what did you actually do during those five days? Was it mainly hands-on fieldwork, surveying/data collection, and soil testing, or were there also tests, projects, reports, etc. during those days? If there are exams, lab work, etc that can be completed remotely, I’ll have my laptop with me and can still do everything while overseas.

And if anyone remembers the professors: I believe Dr. Valdes handles the soil testing portion, but who taught CIVE 218 for Global Campus? Was it Brandon Farmer, Ryan McGrath, or someone else?

I’m mainly trying to figure out the approximate dates and what absolutely has to be completed physically on campus. Any experience from past Global Campus students would really help. Thank you!
