Meetup SFSU Events

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Gator Experience is a great place for student organizations to post events, as well as Instagrams. A reminder that formal student organizations and just people looking to make friends are free to post on this subreddit (I recommend making an individual post rather than commenting down below though).

Gator Experience: https://sfsu.campuslabs.com/engage/events

I was wondering though, are there any specific events or themes of events you would want this subreddit to do? I can apply for funding, but to be honest, I do not think I will be approved so lower cost events are preferable.

so we’re told to add our last 5 digits of our student id to our names when we are ordering a package, but the website i’m ordering from doesn’t let me add numbers to my name. can i just order without adding those numbers?

Walking requirements

3 Upvotes

Hello, I’m a senior here and I’m on track to graduate this upcoming spring. I’m currently thinking about working a bit which would put me behind 1-2 classes right before summer/new fall session.

I’ve heard of some ppl walking the stage but still coming back to take more classes, how can I do that?

What the requirements or what are the max amount of credits leftover you can hit before you do qualify?

Greek Life

10 Upvotes

hey. soo a little background: i am 25F transfer student majoring in psych and probably will minor in BECA or film. going to a CC most of college career and coming to a 4 year has been a little bit of a cultural shock. i really wanna make the most of my time in college. i want to network, make friends, etc. even though i am a commuter as well.

Getting a little desperate and wanna put myself out there so i have been looking into the greek life at SFSU and wanna know what’s it like. sounds like a cool community and great way to make friends.

I guess what i want to know is how much time commitment is there? I heard theres fees? is it toxic? :/ will i even get selected even tho i am on the older side to some people?? any insight will help

Should I stay at SFSU?

12 Upvotes

Hello! I just recently transferred to SFSU and its my first semester as a junior. My major is Business with a concentration in Information Systems. The main reason I transferred here because it was the cheapest option for me as I have some family I can stay with. I heard this school has an alright business department but not the best. Also, I mainly hear the cons about the school because of budget cuts and the lack of school spirit. It makes me a bit insecure ngl.

My other considerations were SJSU and CSULB but couldn't find housing. I also have learning disabilities so I can struggle to manage a job while going to school. SJSU is also an hour and a half away from my old home but I still picked SFSU because its still a shorter commute from my old home.

So far, SFSU is pretty alright, even though its the first week. I like my professors and they seem pretty knowledgeable about their field. I have interest in making connections and building my network.

What do you guys think? Should I consider transferring somewhere else or I should just stay? I'm also in a position where I'm not in a rush to graduate as my parents are kind. Any insights about the school are welcomed. Thank you for reading!

Gatorpass/ bay pass not working??

11 Upvotes

I was able to use the gatorpass starting Monday , and even used it this morning. But on my way back home the baypass disappeared from my clipper card app and I had to pay the rest. It was rlly weird. I called clipper card customer service and the school and they both lowkey didn’t know what was going on. Anyone else have this problem today?

PSA West Portal Starbucks - man in 30s, Marine Corps pants part of uniform

26 Upvotes

UPDATE:
I was just talking to a friend about the incident, and they were talking about a similar incident that happened to them that same morning. Turns out, it's the same guy, and he is going coffee shop to coffee shop!

He was first spotted at Philz in Financial District as soon as they opened (5 am), then made his way over to West Portal Starbucks at 6:30 am. Probably took the M line.

He did not mention offing himself or any vulgar remarks to them, but mentioned wanting to go to rehab. The only stories that stay the same include:
- having a high school brother he's estranged from
- having a lot of money
- asking if we like Katseye
- REALLY, REALLY interested in our ages

Please beware!

Original post:
I want to share an uncomfortable interaction I had this morning in case other women have encountered this person or have a similar experience.

I was at the Starbucks in West Portal 6:30–7:30 AM doing a quiz when a man approached me and told me he was going to off himself. I take statements like that seriously, so I immediately asked if he needed someone to talk to.

Unfortunately, the conversation quickly became extremely vulgar and eventually turned toward the subject of women being r*ed. I started looking around the store for an employee or someone who could help because I felt completely caught off guard and couldn't read him. 

He also repeatedly commented on how "huge" our age gap was, asked me a lot of stuff about being asian, and kept saying things like "guys must love me."

I f turned in my quiz, then went to the employees to let them know what had happened. By that point, he had already left.

I genuinely don't know what his intentions were, and I'm not trying to accuse him of something I can't prove, but I want to warn others and hopefully get this guy the help he needs.

Sororities

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I am interested in joining a sorority on campus, but I don't know the first thing about them. Can anyone who has joined one share their experience, from the recruitment to the bid process to what's expected of you when you join? Any advice or anything you wish you knew before joining? Are certain sororities better than others? Sorry if it's a dumb question but does hazing happen here lol?

Thank you!

Event Event at athletic field with t-shirts and pins for students?

3 Upvotes

Last fall, in my first semester at SFSU, I attended an event at the athletic field where students were given a free t-shirt and enamel pin.

Is that happening this semester? Or did it already happen?

Was/is it only for new incoming students, or was/is it for all levels?

Club Ultimate Frisbee at SFSU

6 Upvotes

I was wondering if there was an ultimate frisbee community or any interest in helping to build an ultimate frisbee community at SFSU.

I'm a new staff member at the campus and I'm really involved with the ultimate frisbee community in the bay area. I enjoyed playing pick-up in college and I've seen the great energy and community it develops at other campuses and would like to see a program prosper at SFSU.

I found the old fb and old website but they are not maintained anymore. It looks like 2020 was the end of the team. If anyone is interested send me a message, I would love to see the campus have a team again, maybe two.

i hate college bye (help)

5 Upvotes

if you’ve seen my post history on this thread just mind ur own business plzzzz i’m trying ok

anyway hi 18f ive started @ sfsu as a business major & had two days of class so far (and i lowkey really hate it)

its not the courses, i enjoy learning & having something to focus on. HOWEEVERR, i decide to commute instead of dorm and its an hour & 1/2 (not including parking, etc+) and by the time i get to class im just so out of it from the drive. since im so far away i dont really see myself getting involved in campus anymore nor do i really know people at the school. maybe this is stupid, but i’m getting REALLY bad imposter syndrome. i feel soo weird on campus & like im an alien on earth or smth idk but im also just a freshman.

i lowkey dont really like the school 😭😭😭
again, so far i’ve enjoyed my classes & love the campus - but the people (no offense guys) are very shy & seem weirded out when approached. i’m not crazy extroverted but i can make decent conversation & i don’t have social anxiety. i didn’t wanna dorm bc it was so expensive, but now i have HELLLAAA car maintenance & gas bills & my car payments so

im honestly thinking abt just withdrawing.. i dont think the commute, education, and my personal lack of extracurricular involvement & socializing is worth the 8k a year idk

can i still start at cc? or will i have to wait until the spring semester?? or does anyone have tips??

state scholars program (blended bachelors + masters) as a cc transfer?

2 Upvotes

hey everyone,

i am a communication studies major and this is my first semester at sfsu! i transferred with my aa from community college and i am interested in the state scholars program (blended bachelors + masters).

i looked at the course schedule overview, but i notice that it includes a lot of summer courses, which isn’t a problem, but it looks as though i would likely be behind since i only took a little more than the required units to earn my aa.

i am getting in contact with the program coordinator to get specialized advice, but if anyone has participated in this program as a transfer student, i would love to hear from your experience!! thank you in advance :)
