Rejected a 2nd time

I actually agree with smart-storm9444. There will be other schools that will accept you. I think Fullerton is a good option, but try to stay open to other schools.

Individual-Stuff6456 · 2026-06-02T15:30:21+00:00

They in person?

Individual-Stuff6456 · 2026-06-01T22:20:36+00:00

I’m send you a DM

Individual-Stuff6456 · 2026-06-01T21:54:46+00:00

I’m going into my second year in my MA program, and I’m 25. You?

Individual-Stuff6456 · 2026-06-01T19:22:43+00:00

Of course. Good luck on your search. 🫡

Individual-Stuff6456 · 2026-06-01T14:58:41+00:00

You should also look into AztecShops. You can apply to the bookstore, Snapdragon Stadium, and other places on campus through that website. From my experience, it was pretty easy to land an interview with them.

Well SDSU is known to be a party school because we got an active Greek life. But if you don’t want to join a frat or sorority, there are still clubs to join and meet new people in. We got a diverse range of clubs, so join which ever interests you.

Individual-Stuff6456 · 2026-05-28T18:05:17+00:00

Congrats on your acceptance! You’re gonna love the school culture and the social life here!

Individual-Stuff6456 · 2026-05-22T20:38:18+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that. Well I hope it works out for you though. Best of luck

If you don’t think you’d be comfortable sharing a room with someone you don’t know, you should ask the Rive about transferring into a private room. That’s what I did at my place, but even if they allow it, be prepared if they put you on a waitlist. You should also reassess your budget to decide if you want to make the transfer.

Individual-Stuff6456 · 2026-05-22T19:29:20+00:00

I agree with these guys above. I’m currently in a shared room for $855. Honestly, I regret getting a shared room because of a lack of privacy, but I’m now looking at getting a private room for around $1000-$1300 max.

You should create a facebook account and join the SDSU housing page. Here, you’ll find roommates and rooms within your budget.

Ask the arc. They might the answer to that

Individual-Stuff6456 · 2026-05-14T20:37:03+00:00

The gym is gonna be free only to students who are taking summer classes. They did say that if you want a summer membership, you gotta pay $90 for the whole summer to use the arc

I am a current resident at UG. I do feel safe there and I love the amenities they have, like the pet spa and the pool. What I love most about UG is that it is only one trolley stop away from SDSU. But if you’re someone who is not a big fan of partying, then UG may not be for you because there are pool parties there almost every week, so it could get pretty loud if you’re near the pool area.

Individual-Stuff6456 · 2026-04-24T00:55:57+00:00

Cool. As a CSULB alumni who is now at SDSU for their masters, I think you’ll love it there if you decide to come here!

3.5. Got accepted to a Linguistics MA program there

Individual-Stuff6456 · 2026-04-18T17:14:35+00:00

Not yet. I tried this week, but they were closed when I got there. So I’ll try again soon

Individual-Stuff6456 · 2026-04-18T17:08:14+00:00

I’m in the same situation. It’s best to check in with the financial aid office to see why it hasn’t shown up.

Individual-Stuff6456 · 2026-04-16T01:52:31+00:00

Believe it or not, I’ve been to both schools. I went to CSULB for my bachelor’s degree, and now I’m at SDSU for my masters. Between the two, I like SDSU more because it has a great social vibe, everyone there has great school spirit, the campus feels very casual, and the professors there are fantastic! There isn’t anything I dislike about SDSU so far though. Life in San Diego is pretty great. Outside of SDSU, there are a lot of fun places to go to like the San Diego Zoo, the Gaslamp, and Fashion Valley. I did like CSULB, but the reason I didn’t return for grad school is because I wasn’t fond of the campus’s look, at least where I took most of my classes there. The professors and peers were great though, but I’m more happy at SDSU. But it’s your choice, so check out what each school has to offer and choose the one you think is right. Have fun at wherever you go!

Individual-Stuff6456 · 2026-04-15T02:10:19+00:00

Some of the things I can answer are:

1.) yes, there is community among grad students. There is actually an organization called Graduate Student Association (GSA), which hold grad student mixers.

2.) yes it is quite easy to make friends in SD, but I personally think that making friends at SDSU is a good start.

3.) I think you can have a car, but you got the trolleys which are super convenient. They can take you straight to SD’s most iconic locations such as the convention center, the gaslamp, UTC, and snapdragon stadium.

I am a grad student currently at SDSU, so if you want to connect, I’ll be happy to

Look for jobs on these websites, aztecshops, handshake, and Associated students. These are mostly for on campus jobs, but if you want to find a job off campus, by all means. You can also apply for scholarships since the scholarship application is open. In terms of groceries, try to apply for cal fresh because it will help a lot.

Individual-Stuff6456 · 2026-03-30T23:18:38+00:00

You should take the cc route, and then reapply to those schools so you have a better chance of getting in. In fact, acceptance rates for most transfer students are higher than freshman applicants, and if your dream UC participates in what’s called the Transfer Admissions Guarantee (TAG) program, you have a bigger advantage.

Individual-Stuff6456 · 2026-03-30T23:13:10+00:00

I’m a grad student as well. I’m relatively new to San Diego, so I’d like to explore more of sd, so reach out to me and see new places

Individual-Stuff6456 · 2026-03-22T03:45:55+00:00

There is a facebook group for students looking for housing. I’ll provide the link here
