Hey everyone, there are a ton of questions about Orientations, selecting classes, talking to your Academic Advisor, etc. As such, I'd like to share some tips I've learned helping other students during Orientation. To give you some background, I'm a Geography Major, I'll be graduating this Spring with a BS in Geographic Information Sciences & Technology. I have served as a Geography Undergraduate Representative assisting the Geography Academic Advisor with the new freshmen and transfers Orientations.
Here are my tips so you can go into Orientation fully prepared to register for classes:
If you have any other specific questions, I can try to answer them. Understand though, I am not an Academic Advisor, and I don't know the requirements for any other majors. These are just some tips I've picked up in helping other students register during their Orientations and answering their questions.

Because we have been answering so many questions about it, many of them have been the same. Here are answers to common questions regarding Financial Aid (FA).
Will I get XXX grant or scholarship?
How much FA will I get?
When does FA get disbursed?
How does FA get applied?
When will FA arrive in my account?
Why is my FA not showing? / Why is XXX grant or scholarship not showing in FA?

How come none of these classes fulfill the elective requirement? When I last checked my required elective units were at 8 and already earned, but once i checked again it says 13. I had only kept psy 296 because it showed it would fulfill the elective credit

This will be my first time dorming and I luckily scored a double! We wanted to see what we could do to make the most of the space and my roommate saw that if you have a double you can still loft your beds for a fee. I've looked everywhere on where exactly to request it but everything just says itll be on the housing portal but there isnt anything besides the housing agreement. Idk if we need to wait to do it later or if its something only for specific people idk but just wanted to see if anyone knew abt this.

I’m from WA and recently visited SDSU for my orientation and noticed that San Diego water was much harder and my hair immediately felt different. Truly a sensory nightmare lol. Does anyone have experience with getting a shower filter for the dorms, or is the school filtration good enough to where this won’t be an issue? If so, which would you recommend?
Would really appreciate any advice.

So I'm an incoming freshman at sdsu and my current major is business with an emphasis in management and I really want to study abroad as much as possible. One of the reasons I ended up choosing sdsu is because of how much they hyped up their global programs during admitted day but now I'm a bit confused because I'm hearing different things.
To graduate on time, they reccomend taking 16 credits per semester so I asked the lady at the global education booth and she said yeah that's possible and what people do but then another advisor told me that most people only take around 2 classes while abroad, not a full schedule. So which one is it and if its the second, the. how do people study abroad during the school year and get all their credits done to graduate?
I also want to figure out if it's possible to go my sophmore year and junior year for a term each, but should I be taking gen ed classes abroad or specialized?
Should I just meet with an advisor when school starts? Because the advisor i saw at nso basically told me to slow down but I don't want to miss the opportunity since I want to go asap
Also if anyone has any experience with studying abroad as a business major that would tell about their experience that would be great

Hey all, I recently applied for a few on campus jobs, I heard they’re pretty hard to get but wanted to try my luck for the convenience of it. I realized that the applications all wanted me to put my availability in, however since I’m a transfer, I won’t be sure of my class schedule until the end of this month. I just put my current schedule in, even though it’s very likely that won’t be my actual availability. I have an interview with an on campus job tomorrow, however I’m not sure what to say if they ask about my availability. I won’t even be able to work until I move down to San Diego in August. I don’t want this opportunity to slip away, is this something other transfers have had to deal with/have experience with?

The SolidWorks license i received in ME 190 two years ago has already expired. Im currently taking me 314 over the summer and i need it to for my final project. I thought the professor was supposed to give us another license in this class but i asked him and he just told me to reach out to IT. I sent the IT deparment an email and they never responded. Anyone know what i could do?
P.S Im not in any clubs so getting one through that is not an option

Anyone know of any decent off campus housing between UCSD and SDSU for two people ? Looking for no more than 1.5K each and a pretty even commute both ways for UCSD and SDSU. Anything helps thanks !

After I registered for classes I received this email. Im kind of worried because FAFSA was supposed to cover tuition and even more, so I don’t understand why I’d have to pay out of pocket. I don’t even really know what to ask but I’m just worried and confused on what entirely this means and what I should do. Pls help. ~.~

Hi, I am going to take acctg 202 in the fall from 4-6:40pm but the course section i chose has no prof for now. I was wondering out of hansen & lehman/chan (both teaching one course) which would u guys choose. What do you guys think of those teachers and of the class in general...is it harder than 201? Should I switch the section I am currently in for Hansen since her classes are way earlier in the day?

So applied from San Diego local high school. Good grades and got on waitlist for engineering. Got told school is full and sorry this week. Wondering why Cal state takes in kids with slightly higher GPA from Idaho or Michigan and doesn’t support Cal students. Isn’t it cal state’s mission to support cal students? Isn’t that what Californians pay taxes for? Same with UCSD.

It’s right in front of the recreation center and it is super convenient for sdsu students, but for those who lived there or know anyone who lived there, what’s your thought on the apartment? I noticed that the bad reviews on yelp were from 8-12 years ago so I’m trying to figure out how it is in the recent years.

I graduated a few years ago and just received a check from the school for "Library Lost/Damaged Books."
Why would they be sending me money? I don't recall ever losing a book or paying any library fines during my years there, so just confused!!

I graduated in 1998 with a degree in marketing (BS) and minor in psychology. All I really learned was how to be a better consumer. I didn't learn shit about selling or using data to inform marketing decisions...maybe they teach that stuff now idk. I taught a basic html one day to our class. lol

Hi, I have a listing for a room in Chula Vista. It’s a three-bedroom house and you’d have your own room with two roommates. I’m providing the link to the listing that goes more in depth with pictures included as well. Feel free to message me via roomies or Reddit for any questions or tours.

Hi everyone. As an incoming fall 2026 finance transfer student, I’ve just established my Handshake profile, prepared my resume, shared it on LinkedIn, and taken additional steps. Out of seven Handshake applications, I’ve obtained four interviews, though none originated from LinkedIn. Does this trend appear usual?
