- Hey guys! As you may know, I am a sophomore at SFSU. I have been living off campus since my first year and have honestly experienced a lot in these two years nervous laughter here are a few things that have been major eye openers since I've moved out for college.
Going into my second year as a sophomore at SF State as a pre-nursing major, here are some useful tips or advice to survive at SF state your first year :) utilize the school gym and the library because Freshmen 15 will hit you really hard and quick, I learned that the hard way. Also, there's no way in heck you're going to study in your dorms, that's physically and mentally impossible to achieve. So why not take advantage of the library. If you're going to major in public health, you better not slack off because the grades do truly matter if you want to get accepted into those major. I know this sounds stressful and all, but you can also have fun, I don't mean go to a party every weekend, please don't do that. Just focus 50% on academics and 50% on having fun your freshmen year, since your first year is about exploring yourself and making new friends and just try to go out and explore the city of San Francisco with your friends. But, having good grades your first year will help you succeed in the future because it will help you develop a good structure with your time management and sorts in terms of academics. I hope all of this helped and hope ya'll incoming freshmen enjoy your freshmen year at SF State :)
I apply to sfsu as undecleared is it still possible to get into the nursing program?
For housing, you can either live on campus or off campus, it’s honestly a personal preference :) Dorms are pretty expensive, but are a great place to make friends but if you want to save money, even though the rent in San Francisco is high, you can still find apartments in San Francisco for 900 per month or less, but you are going to have to a lot of searching :)
HOW DO I FIND AN APARTMENT THAT CHEAP
Ok. Problem there is, apartments that cheap are broom closets and in neighbor hoods where you’ll get rob.
Academic wise, you’ll do just fine. Just don’t procrastinate and slack off too much. Skipping a few classes is fine and all, just don’t make it as a habit. This is a commuter school. Making friends shouldn’t be that difficult. Just don’t try to force friendships, those never goes well :) that’s my advice on how to survive your freshmen year LOL 😂

😂 girl u r so relatable! I subscribed🤗 can’t wait to see more from u!
Awww so sweet! Thank you!!
this was a really good informative video.... though definitely increased my worry for how I'm going to handle everything. I want to go on the exchange programme to SFSU but I feel like I don't have enough funds for housing, food, let alone covering my costs of flights... so rip to me.
I definitely think it's possible! Where are you coming from and for how long?
What is the name of the facebook page for sfsu students?
San Francisco State University (SFSU) Housing, Sublets & Roomates
also im moving in next month in a room and older college students live in there and im so nervous
Aww my roommates were always older than me as well! Get used to being called the baby lol but I'm sure everything will be okay! Come in with an open mind and go with your gut feeling about things!
I remember watching your videos when I was still debating whether I should move and attend SFSU. I am going to be attending for the upcoming fall semester!
Also, what are your opinions on the dorms? I just got my housing confirmation for UPN and was starting to worry about the cost of rent for them.
YAYAYAY CONGRATS!!! They're expensive for what they are but if you want the experience I mean up to you lol
Deyanira Ortiz Thank you c,: I know i’m asking a lot of questions-it’s because i’m panicking now lol-but are there any additional sources that you would recommend for off-campus housing?
Thanks for the advice.....helped a lot💫💫💯
Hey I am an international student. I am joining SFSU this fall. I want to know how to get on campus housing?
J T ok, Unfortunately applications for on-campus housing has been closed. Now, I have to look for off-campus housing. Can you please help me in any way? Like sharing a link, or any tip which I should keep in mind. I am from India and I Know nothing about SF.
SHRISHTI SHRIVASTAV try looking up rooms on the Facebook page that I mention! It’s m.facebook.com/groups/223625011079774
Transferring to SFSU in the Spring... I'm an incoming junior... any advice in regards to living? Do upper classmen usually live in the dorms or should I find off-campus housing? Send help lmfao. Thank u for this video :)
Mya King hey I’m transferring in the spring too (:
Victoria Haynes What no way!! Omg
Mya King yesss Im so excited!
Hey, I just became a freshman at SFSU this fall, and I’m currently taking classes at SFSU! But I was wondering where I can get that sheet for our major and stuff you know?
Yeah! Go to the Humanities building. That's where the COMM department is and outside they have all the sheets. If there aren't any out there go inside the COMM department and ask for one. I can't remember what room number it is but you can google it!
wait the comment about pets.. so are animals allowed in the dorms? i have a cat that i’d love to bring with me
I was living off campus :) I don't think they're allowed?
soo finding an apartment is cheaper than dorming??
I would say so! It just depends on what you want :)
Hey girllll. I’m always commenting under your videos, but your so smart and provide great info, I really appreciate your help. So, Ok. I’m Going crazy.
With FAFSA + family help college will cost about $16k that I’m responsible for.
I’m planning to get a job as a CNA (working full time $15/hr) and living on campus. Do you think I’ll be able to make it ?? 😭 And by make it I mean not barely scraping by, but actually being financially stable and comfortable. Lmaoooo.
Thank u
First, thank you, I try hahaha! Second, being financially stable in the city is HARD like maybe I have a different definition of financially stable but oof! Can you DM me on IG at deys_day so that I can get a better understanding?
Deyanira Ortiz yessss! I just followed you rn
@@s.n.2744 You can try to message me, I don't see your request lol
Is SFSU good for biochemistry and pre-med?
I don't think it's bad but I think if you want to do something medical USF would be better.
I got accepted and I still haven’t decided if I’m going yet or not. Just wondering if you spend a lot of your time doing work or are you still able to go out to the city and have fun and stuff like that. Also are sports a big deal or no?
The school workload isn't very heavy in my opinion I just spend a lot of time working. Sports are not a big deal at all, I went to one basketball game like a year ago and was like... my high school gym was bigger than this lmao
Hi there superb posts
when and how did you apply to work on campus?
I'm almost 100% sure that it was on orientation day? They had a bunch of tables set up and one of them was the book store. I got their info and all I had to do was submit my resume and cover letter. I started working about a month before school actually started
Hey I have a question is it possible to get a full rise scholarship Or can financial aid really give you alot if your a low income family ?
Nancy Sanchez I’m not too sure about full rides and how they work at SFSU but if you are low income I’m pretty sure you will get enough financial aid to have a “full ride”. I am from a low income household and my tuition is paid for through grants and FAFSA!
😗 i never forget to eat
I'm a communications major also and would like to talk to you a little more about SFSU I'm thinking about transferring their but I'm not to sure exactly if it's the right school for what exactly I want to do with the major do you have an Instagram?
Ryan Nong yes! Deya_xoxo
east bay baby
How did you get the job in the student store ? How much did it pay?
They were hiring at orientation and paid minimum wage
how'd you get your deposit back?
If I remember correctly, my freshman year we didn't get it back because the place was not left in perfect conditions. Second year I gave my roommates a deposit and they gave it back to me.
My kids are going to community college first. If they want to go to a 4-year first, they gone have to figure that out on their own.
Are the classes way too packed ? I got accepted and I’m still deciding if this is the right school for me
It varies by major, usually the first few weeks are stressful trying to get classes but it works out most of the time!
Alexa Arriaga what grades did you have ? Mostly what ?
Alexa Arriaga and what grades do they look like ?
I live at Ocean Beach and take the muni, much cheaper!
What’s the Facebook group for SF students?
Hi Krystal... could you find the Facebook group or any other fb page for sf students housing ?
Join PhiTau.
I HAVE A LOT MORE QUESTIONS!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!!!
Just now seeing this, YIKES! Go ahead and ask away!
What if your out of state? How much would rent be? How much is the books?
UNDER CONSTRUCTION I know out of state tuition is a lot more. You can find more information on the SFSU website try searching “SFSU out of state tuition” I don’t believe that should effect your rent. Book prices vary by subject most science and math books are more expensive than humanities books! Let me know if you have any other questions
Deyanira Ortiz i already done my research and it doesn't give that much information. And i called many times and no answered. I also e-mailed and i havent got anything yet. Im trying to apply for college early. Im only a sophomore.
I can tell you how to survive,.......don't go to school there
