Boy, my son’s experience is completely the opposite of the above posters so far ^^^. He is in his 3rd year at SDSU as a CS major, came in with 38 units of AP credit and will easily graduate in 4 years. He would agree parking is a problem so he chooses to live near campus. He has had several courses requiring writing assignments, especially the required GE’s Critical Thinking and Communication courses, Upper Division Writing courses and some of the Humanities courses. Many of his friends are Engineering/CS and Biology majors whom are very high achieving so not sure how anyone can make a blanket statement that the OOS and International are the only high achieving students at SDSU. I seriously doubt with the admission statistics for Freshman 2016 that most are mediocre???
Average high school GPA: 3.85
Average SAT score: 1174
Average ACT score: 27
Everyone is allowed their opinions but my son’s and our experience has very positive.
Anyone considering a college should always visit and draw their own conclusions.
