Worst of San Diego State University

Not Worth All of the Money!

All on-campus living options are available to San Diego State freshmen, so the school takes advantage of this "demand" by overcharging completely. The nicest, newest dorm is Chapultepec, but it is extremely isolated from the rest of the dorms on campus. Housing prices have just been changed (and raised) so that each hall is exactly the same price, regardless of convenience or bigger/smaller room size. The housing process comes with many complications; I was once unable to register for classes because I did not pay a housing fee that I was not informed about. Some dorms are very social, while others are evidently not as much. East and west commons include places like Panda Express and Starbucks, but they are not open on weekends and close very early on Fridays.

It Is a Waste of Money

the school is overpowering and annoying for the greek members and gives them a hard time about everything, eventually kicks the frats off campus for minor things like violating alcohol parole. Funny coming from ex-greeks and college grads who drank just as much as us.

It Has Gotten Better

About a year or two there was a big drug bust just off campus. It was not a student who was selling the drugs, but many students were customers. Since then I think the drug scene has gotten better. Although, there are still a lot parties where alcohol and peer pressure are very common.
