San Diego State University

San Diego State University is a great college to attend with focus on business. I graduated from the Fowler College of Business, and it is considered one of the highlights of the college. Great sense of atmosphere and helpful professors, Fowler College of Business is an overall great program to be part of. I would say the main challenge for those who are local would be the commute. Sometimes the commute is great such as those who attend night classes, but the commute is an issue when going in the... Read More early morning. Still, if you like a lively college, a place to study for business, and a great sports team, SDSU is what I would recommend despite some of its flaws.

SDSU was a great experience for me when I transferred over from community college. Originally, I attended a UC but decided to do community instead. One thing I really like about SDSU was that the upper division classes can be smaller. This means that you can easily communicate with your professor. While attending UC, the classes tend to be huge and we were usually taught by the TAs, which can be a mixed bag and reaching the professor can be difficult as well. Parts of me feel like the SDSU professors... Read More were better teachers because they were there to teach. A lot of UC professors are there for their research. Another thing I really liked about SDSU is that they promote teamwork and learning together. I feel like UCs can be more competitive, which is fine but I feel like I got a useful skill from collaborating with my friends! The campus itself is nice and clean and everyone is friendly! Would recommend!

I attended SDSU from out of state. You couldn't beat the location of SDSU, located in the sunny San Diego. Friends here are lots of fun. You can easily find fun things to do on the weekend. Professors are hit or miss, some of then are very caring and talented, some are not so much. Classes relied so much on reading textbooks and are tested on those textbooks instead of what being taught in classes. I stayed on campus and that was a good experience. A lot of food options and free gym is a huge bonus.... Read More Overalls, it's a fun college, you'll have such a great experience of your life here.

San Diego State University has an excellent Business Administration program. Prior to attending, I had heard that it was quite demanding, and my experience confirmed it to be true. This was especially the case with having an Accounting emphasis on my degree. However, I mean that in a positive light. Overcoming the challenges of the program allowed me to grow both as a person and a professional, and kickstarted the career I have today. I am proud to have graduated with a Business Administration degree... Read More from SDSU and I am certain the other students who graduated from the program have similar success stories.

I did not have a great experience with the school. From the start, the classes in the area of focus I was interested in were not available, although they were featured in the course catalogue. This info was presented to me when enrolling so it felt like false advertisement after I found out they were not available. The classes outside of my major were pedantic and felt like a waste of time. When we switched to online learning due to COVID, I was able to get the same information I would during lectures... Read More and take better notes because the desks were small and uncomfortable at the school. It was like being in high school again inside many of the classroom buildings. It did not feel like higher education at all. I had community college courses that were taught at a higher level and where my time felt better spent with teachers who were more inspiring. The degree really left me with no career opportunities, and knowing what I know now, I would have chosen a different major or school to complete undergrad.

I attended San Diego State University Aztec from 2005 to 2008 as a transfer student. I studied Kinesiology with emphasis in Fitness Nutrition and Health. San Diego State was an amazing school and I met many people and formed meaningful friendships. I made a habit of meeting with my professors one on one to get to know each other, especially in huge classes of 100 or more. I always sat in the front row and stood out to where the professors knew me by my first name. You can get caught up in the glamour... Read More and party life that San Diego has to offer or you can choose to focus academically. I had the pleasure of both and it lead me to the career I have now. My last year I was able to get an internship through my college and I now work for the company I interned with. I would advise new students to talk to as many advisors and professors one on one our in group sessions as you can because you can get lost in the hundreds of other students that the professors teach to. Always ask questions and you will always get your answer

My four years at San Diego State were some of the best years of my life. To start, the campus and the weather there are both beautiful! The campus is only a short drive away from the beach, so when I wasn't busy with school work I was hanging out in the sand or surfing. I learned so much during my studies to earn my BS in Kinesiology. My anatomy and physiology teachers were incredibly bright and engaging; I still think back to some of their lectures while studying in my graduate program because they... Read More were so memorable. My professor in my sport psychology class was an ex-Iron Man world champion, which was pretty incredible. In his class, he hosted a few guest speakers, one who was the blind golfing world champion and two more who were athletes that maintained their lifestyles while battling cancer. There were so many extracurricular activities that it made it hard to choose one. There were surfing, skiing, rowing, rock climbing, and adventure clubs, a really popular college radio station, countless cultural clubs, business and social fraternities, and so much more.

I enjoyed attending San Diego State University although I attended quite some time ago. When I attended all classes were taken on campus but being on campus was better for me because I was a bit shy when I first went to college. San Diego State at the time was a very large campus so I would recommend that you try to connect with a smaller group to get better connected with the university at large. I pledged a sorority which also helped me get connected. It's not the end result but the process. SDSU... Read More definitely prepared me for my future work life.

I received my bachelors degree in Psychology at San Diego State University. This was a great institution for me, the college has many resources available to students however they are not advertised well. I learned about college resources through other students. The class sizes are very large, most of my classes had so many students that if people had questions they needed to make the time to go to the professors office hours. There are many organization that students can get involved with to become... Read More active on campus and I found those to be useful. I would recommend this college to future students however I do suggest they take the time to fins resources that can help them succeed and also take the time to build relationship with their professors during office hours in order to receive letters of recommendation.

At San Diego State, students are guaranteed to get some of the most qualified professors in whatever field they have chosen to study. With every class I took, whether directly for my major or general education requirements, every instructor I had was an expert in their field. Specifically within the Communication department, I was able to form relationships with professors and build mentorships with people who had professional experience in the subjects I was most passionate about. Every professor... Read More genuinely cared that I was successful and I was learning in their environment. As a result, I found a passion in my degree and I feel like I graduated with an incredibly personalized academic experience.
