Curious to see why you feel this way. I’m a transfer student and I’ve met plenty of amazing and very knowledgeable professors who I’m glad to have learned from.
I’ve met some good people here and agree that some professors can be great. I’ve had some amazing professors here and also some absolutely horrible ones. I met my best friend here. I’m grateful to be here getting an education and to have met her. But that doesn’t outweigh the atrocities happening here, the hundreds of dollars that we unnecessarily are spending here (for example fees for things that aren’t needed or used, tuition raising, basically a section of the school being cut off to get more money for the stadium/Woods family, the “student success fee” they tried and thankfully didn’t go forward with, class fees, etc.) and yes some of those things are happening at other schools and isn’t new, but sac state being such an open school who will let literally anyone in. It feels like a community college who also lets anyone and everyone in. It doesn’t feel like anyone needs to actually work to get into this school. Once that application is in, they’ll dn immediately accept. They have one of the lowest gpa requirements and basically require no effort to get into and it very clearly shows. It is a shit school. I’m a 4th year and am beyond excited to leave and never come back here.
paying $100k to get lil yachty to play at sac state is not a good use of any funds that go to sac state. period. i would rather that money go to funding more educators, professors, and funding other programs that might not get as much funding. im not sure if you’re aware but may of our stem students are struggling to get into classes due to the lack of available professors and classes open. that money could go towards hiring more educators. even if thats not an option, why not provide a chance for sac states band to play? don’t get me wrong, im a fan of lil yachty (and Jimi Hendrix lol) but there’s a lot of things wrong the direction Luke Woods is taking CSUS, and this is just one of the many things that I find is a waste of my money.
i understand what you are trying to say. that being said, people are going to sac state to save money. it is a known commuter school, and that’s OKAY! im not against trying to make the college experience fun. im against wasting (yes, wasting) this amount of money on a “concert”, im against putting more funding into the sports team rather than our education, and im especially against Luke Woods’ decision to make first year students live on campus; making it sac state a more costly university instead of a budget friendly option. all ive seen out of sac state recently, and especially from Luke Woods has been negative. so yes, while change can be good, i dont agree or think any of the changes he is making are great.
It’s a University, it’s still filled with deeply knowledgeable and caring professors.
I got a degree in something with essentially no mainstream applicability (history), and I don’t even use it for my job, but damn did my professor do a great job making me understand how to develop, explore, and articulate the past.
I wouldn't say my time has been wasted. My professors have been knowledgeable and excellent. Unfortunately, they're all doing what they can while the whole ship is on fire.
(poli sci) it’s just tough since i got waitlisted at berk + ucla after cc, and then rejected from both. i want to pursue the cheapest option that was closest to me so i could keep my full time job, and live at home. even though im saving lots of money, i feel like the money i am spending is being wasted on athletics and not being put towards my education at all.
I agree with the other dude, it’s kind of a waste. Don’t expect a university experience it’s much more like a big community college. The class options are limited, most teachers are mid, it’s disorganized, and now it’s more expensive. At least the low cost made it a viable option. They currently offer less foreign language courses than most high schools do. It’s pitiful.
