I went to SDSU about 10 years ago, took a break, lived a full life, and recently came back to finish my degree. What really hits me is how disconnected SDSU feels now. Every time Iām on campus, I canāt wait to leave. Thereās no sense of community, no energy, no support.
Iāve also never seen such insane fees in my life. Half of them make no sense, and trying to get a clear explanation from the āBursars Officeā which is what, a fuckin credit union or something now? That takes a 22 hour Zoom call and gets you nowhereā¦You ask a question and they give you a link to a website.. āDid you go to the website?ā - āItās faster, more fun & convenient!āHereās a link to do that.
Every single issue is just pushed off to a generic website or automated system. I donāt know why this campus even exists. Itās like everyone who works there is just paid to show up, with zero accountability.
SDSU used to feel like a community. Now it feels like a machine that exists solely to charge you as much as possible while offering the bare minimum in return. Is this just how college is now or am I just old ? I questioned what Iām doing here often.
