- Campus Strictness

Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students generally feel that the campus strictness here is too strong for a party school. The enforcement at this school is heavily concentrated on breaking up parties and keeping students in line. Sometimes these policies are simply poorly designed. For example if you are in your dorm and your underage roommate is drinking, you will be cited, too. You will be forced to meet with the residence hall advisor, pay a hundred dollar fine, have a psychological evaluation, and attend a successful community living program. While not many people are cited, those that are become a product of an overly sensitive order of disciplinary action. Campus strictness needs to be more focused on protecting the students rather than reprimanding them.

If you’re smart about what you’re doing, you will not be caught or cited. Unfortunately, luck also plays a role, and you may attend a party that happens to get broken up by the cops only to be hauled away as a drunk who supposedly is a danger to himself as well as others. San Diego State needs to find a compromise between its reputation as a party school and its devotion to creating a strictly academic environment. The campus strictness policies need to be loosened so that students will be able to make a right decision on their own without a police baton waving in their face, or a hundred dollar fine breaking their bank account and forcing them to sell their books for food money.

Better Watch Yourself

SDSU is a pretty safe campus. But this is because of the large amount of police force that patrols the campus. If you appear to be intoxicated the cops will stop you. That being said, don't party with people you can't trust because if the cops come, it's not guaranteed someone will have your back if you can't take care of yourself.

San Diego State Party Scene

Publicly San Diego State says that underage drinking is condemned, however that does not stop many many parties from taking place. Any weekend you can always find a frat house or house party happening. Most people are pretty good with moderation and not going too hard and then flunking out of school. Occasionally the police will stop parties. Sometimes they tell everyone to go home but sometimes the cops will give everyone at the party engaged in illegal activities tickets.

Plagiarizing

I am so pleased that SDSU takes plagiarism seriously and punishes students for doing this. This is a university that will help students receive the education they need for their future careers and cheating or using someone else's ideas is showing signs of laziness, and this characteristic should not be portrayed by the future generation. It is so great that SDSU takes this seriously.
