Can you please explain your worry about safety? Thanks!
Safety is just common sense when you are in any city. My son did not have any issues nor my niece whom just graduated last year. There are blue light security stations throughout campus, you do not walk alone at night and you stay aware of your surroundings. Both my son and niece stated they felt safe in and around campus.
When my husband and I visited the campus many times, there were always students around the campus and immediate area day and night.
SDSU has a large student population and everyone can find their tribe. Having the 2 year housing requirement facilitates a greater chance that your student will find like minded friends while living on-campus. It can take time but I am sure your introvert will be fine. The Living Learning communities are good options for students with similar interests.

Good advice on safetyā¦ gotta practice it in any cityā¦ on campus or off. I got the impression that SDSU was a safe environment during our visit, but always better to be safe than sorry. I had a roommate get robbed and beaten up a bit on the way to a final exam yrs ago on SJSU campus. 6ft male, avg build, San Joseā¦ one of the safest cities in CA at the time. Walking alone at night is not a good idea in any city really.

As an alum from the early 90s, I think the biggest danger for students was going into Mexico to drink. Just donāt do it. Tijuana is not safe, certainly not late and night while drinking.

Do kids still do that? My husband and I also went to SDSU and met in Tijuana (in 1988!) - I didnāt think it was a thing now.
I donāt think college kids have stopped binge drinking since we were there. 
The lure of a younger drinking age 30 minutes away is hard to resist.

??? Here is the timeline for last year. It will happen when it happensā¦.
Regular admission trickle starting March 8, 2022 followed by a larger admit wave on March 11. Some Waitlisted and Denials starting March 17.
Yes my sons friend was admitted January 25th to the nursing program

Yes this is absolutely correct for 2022. We are in-state, and my D22 was admitted Friday, 3/11/22 at 5:03pm 
She was waitlisted to SLO (dream school*), and accepted to SDSU. She is a freshman now at SDSU and LOVES it!
In the end, everything truly happens as itās meant to be. She believes SDSU is the best fit for her after all, and canāt imagine being anywhere else!!! 
Good Luck to all! My S23 is waiting for his admission decision to SDSU for Fall 2023. My anxiety is back all over again, but I am thinking admission decisions will be released the 2nd Friday of March this year?!?

Lots and lots of kiddos out there who have applied to SLO and SDSU and hoping for one of them. My older two got in to both and chose SLO and have loved it. My now senior is hoping for SLO but would be thrilled with SDSU. His stats arenāt as high as his two older siblings so this mama is stressed! My guess is SLO will come out next Thursday and SDSU the next day. I have nothing to base that on other than a hunch!

I have a 4th year at SLO and it was an awesome experience. My daughter was waitlisted and ended up going to SDSU. Blessing in disguise as SDSU is a great fit for her (undeclared major option and then declared a year later). Sheās in her 2nd year and thriving and loving every minute of it! Both schools great options!

Word of advice. Donāt assume a denial until youāre notified. All of my DD friends received admittances and denials as indicated in above dates in 2021 and no word for my DD. She didnāt reach out to the school as it states all notices by 4/1 donāt ask prior to. Luckily, she got an acceptance on March 31st (the last day) and we were thinking it would only be a denial by that time. Sheās in her 2nd year at SDSU and loving it.
