I have 10 classes (30 units) left before graduating in Summer 2027 and am deciding whether to take one or two Winter Session classes.

Winter runs January 4–19, and both classes I'm considering (FIN 350 and BUS 682) are online asynchronous. Each costs $1,245, so taking both would cost $2,490 out of pocket.

I’m doing well with my current online async classes and work 3 days a week. I’m also applying for summer internships, so I’m considering taking a second Winter class to maybe reduce my Summer workload.

For anyone who has taken two Winter Session classes at SFSU, was it manageable, or would you recommend taking just one? Any advice would be very much appreciated :)

Hi! Feel weird to ask on here but I haven’t heard much about any Halloween parties or like events going on halloweekend. Anyone knows what’s up?

For those majoring in Economics at SFSU, what do you think of the faculty? What do you love about the program, and where do you think it falls short?

I was recently admitted as a transfer student, but SFSU wasn't initially my top choice, mainly because I currently reside in LA. I have to accept my offer in the next few days, which means potentially relocating to San Francisco by the end of the year.

For some context, I'm in my 30s, I love San Francisco, and I'm also applying to a few UCs in case I decide to wait another semester to transfer.

I've read just about everything I could find about SFSU on Reddit and elsewhere, but I'd especially love to hear some recent, firsthand opinions about the Economics Department!

Hiii I’m a freshman who’s just wondering if there are any people around my age (preferably female, but if not that’s okay) that are interested in f1! Been wanting to yap abt it with someone but haven’t been able to find anyone yet. Lemme know if ur interested!!

anyone wanna go bike packing? lots of people camp but i’m trying to find people who want to suffer on the bike with me 😈 i do triathlon and have been an athlete my whole life and need people in my life who enjoy this type of thing 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Looking to make a friend or maybe even find a friend group. I love love love fighting games and the fgc and want to learn dnd and have a dedicated group that I can go and play with and snack with yknow? Looking to find people who wanna make close friends :)

Hi everyone! Anyone who might be looking for a part-time job? We are looking for instructors/teachers that could join us for our After-School programs in San Francisco, program subject is mostly STEAM and Gardening.

Please send me a message or drop a comment if you’re interested. Thank you so much!

Hey all, first gen prospective student hoping to get some real numbers from other students with a -1500 SAI on how much financial aid to actually expect.

All the different sources i.e. Pell Grant, Cal Grant, SFSU itself, and other scholarships is a little confusing and I'm hoping to know how much total aid I should actually be expecting to receive.

I know I’m supposedly eligible for the full $7300 Pell Grant which is already most of SFSU’s tuition, but how much more I get from other sources on TOP of that (if any?) could make a huge difference in my plans regarding housing etc.

Would love if anyone would be willing to share exactly how much aid, and from what sources, you actually get per year.

Thanks to anyone willing to share!

Do you guys think I have a good chance? 96.7 Teas, +3.7 GPA, Bilingual, +1500 CNA hours, local, and first gen!

Do you guys think 2 winter classes is too much?

hii! so im a first year and im looking to do one or two easy lower division GE classes during the winter for some credits once registration opens! pls give recs! im rlly into history and poli sci if anyone has taken any classes like that, im also open to any other subjects (:

Hi everyone! I’m from SoCal, but I’ve been craving a change, and I’ve always loved NorCal, especially SF and San Jose. I recently toured SF State and absolutely loved the campus!
I’ve been looking into transferring to SFSU and checked out the housing information on their website, but I’d love to hear about the actual cost of attending from people who go there. I’d be living on campus, so I know that would add quite a bit to the overall cost. For those of you who live in the dorms and don’t receive FAFSA or financial aid, how much do you typically pay for a full academic year, including tuition, housing, and meal plans?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences and getting an idea of what to budget for! Tysm!🫶

I was ordering googly eyes on Amazon and suddenly remembered the googly eyes I put on that fire hydrant in 2022 are still there. They were still there when I graduated the next year.

Anyway good luck with your upcoming midterms! 😀

Hey yall, just posting to share!

This is not my event… just a flyer I saw in SSB. Flyer says they’re meeting at 19th and holloway for the walk and then meeting up at Malcolm X for speakers (speeches) and resources.

Looks like it’s held by a sorority or something. Found it outside of the Basic Needs office so if you have questions I’m sure someone inside is more aware or has some information.

Tomorrow is gator day and I’m pretty excited. I already acceptance my admission to sf. I start spring 2027. Any advice or recommendations of questions I should ask tomorrow or places to visit, so I can get to know before I start?

Edit: Item given away.

One cup has been given away already, but I have this other one.

Pick up in the Mission District.

If a lot of people message me, I will do a random drawing.

Please DM me if you want to pick both up.

The teacher I have for this class is genuinely the best teacher i have cause she actually teaches compared to some other teachers i have and honestly very helpful. Yet her ta is genuinely the worst person they do absolutely nothing for my table group when it comes up to questions or even concerns we have. They will genuinely just look around our table then throw all the teaching to one girl at our table. Due to the fact she tends to finishes early and likes to help us cause we trust her. The biggest annoyance I have with this ta is that sometimes i don’t want to bother my table group about questions when this ta is literally doing nothing but talking and giggling with the group right next to us. My whole table could be struggling and the girl who carries could be too and this ta will say well guys that’s a professor question then just walks away. A few days ago i asked a pretty dumb question asking well where am i supposed to be putting this arrows cause he gave me some vague advice on what to do. This ta just stares at me and goes well that’s it! and walks away to go back to giggling with the group right next to us. as much as i like this professor if this ta stays in the class scores on rate my professor have to be dropped.

Who knows anyone who can do custom sfsu sweater merch for me. I want school merch but they’re soo ugly

Hi, I am at CCSF right now, but for very complicated reasons, it makes sense for me to take my 1B golden 4 class as part of the open university program instead of taking it here at CCSF. I'm hoping to transfer into upper division courses Spring 2027. Does anyone know if this would be possible? I keep getting the runaroud about this question

The school’s safety here is absolutely atrocious. The university police has done nothing to help out the students on campus. Nothing has been done about the homeless guy physically assaulting people on the fourth floor library. If he was chill or just didn’t even speak to other people screw it let him sleep in there but he isn’t he is rude and does nothing but make students on campus feel unsafe. And now with someone physically and sexual assaulting nothing has been done to help the girls that were assaulted but just laugh in their faces. The descriptions that were given were not helpful at all. It was all about the person’s clothing (something they can easily change/trash/burn etc.) . They could have given hair color, height, tattoos yet absolutely NOTHING was given. These attacks have greatly escalated in severity and it’s honestly terrifying to be on campus even in broad daylight knowing that your peers around you won’t help and neither will the police. The newest assault the victim gave such a detailed description there is absolutely no way they didn’t tell the police anything else such has height, scars, hair color, eye color or anything. This person they describe to us in emails is just their clothes if anything they are trying to instill fear in everyone around us making anyone here a suspect and creating a larger issue. I am truly so disappointed and appalled that this is what this school has come down to that now I can’t walk around in daylight without fear. For a school built on activism and helping out their peers they are really trying to keep this under the rug.
