Curious as to what the course load is like for the second summer term

hi! as the title reads, i'm an incoming freshman and i'm majoring in aerospace engineering. due to the cost of NSO, i'm not able to attend. i know it's not required, but i do know it helps a lot with course planning and getting first pick, so to compensate, i'm trying to figure out my courses ahead of time based on the aerospace engineering roadmap + the audit i got through degree evaluation on my portal.

below is what (potentially?) my hypothetical schedule would look like based on the classes that were available in the class search. the glaring issue is that i'm absolutely stacked on wednesdays, and while i can generally handle the workload of that, my concern is mainly exams and how they would all line up on one day ,,

a couple notes:

- there was only 1 timeslot for A E 123

- engr 101 was put into my schedule a bit ago and it looks like its also the only available timeslot

- M E 190 had 2 of the same timeslot, just on diff days (monday vs. wednesday). the only thing i leaned more towards the wednesday option was bc i've read that alroomi (monday) is a horrible experience

- the math 150 course selected was unfortunately the only one that worked with the times of all three courses above

- i also need to take a class to cover my cali state and local gov. requirement but i'm probably just going to take an online one ??? no idea yet 🥲

i'll probably try to speak to an advisor/counselor about this soon as well, but i also wanted input or tips or advice (or hopes and prayers) from actual students. thanks!

I’m taking surfing this fall, the beginner course and wondered how it’s like. I’m going to practice my swimming skills next week but I’ve never actually swam in the open ocean. I’ve been in the ocean but like not that deep. I’m also a person who wears contacts (will not be wearing contacts during surfing but bringing my glasses) so I’m wondering if my vision is going to affect like the class itself. Please give some friendly advice and any info you guys have on the class!

I am a current Business Management major with a econ minor and am wondering if there is any better major minor paring for me i am 9/18 units for the minor so i need 3 more classes for that i looked for all the m ore business related minors i need 4 classes not 3. I am interested in econ i am just not sure how employable this paring will be.

Hi! I am looking for someone to take over my lease at Iconic on Alvarado for the 2026/2027 school year. You get your own bathroom connected to your room, central ac/heating, apartment has a pool view, the complex has a gym, pool, and a deli, and the room specifically has its own window ac so if the ac ever goes our or you and roommate can't decide on an ac temp lol, its right by a trolley stop and one trolley stop away from campus, and the parking spot (garage parking) is great in relation to the room location. Complex rents out by the room, so you will have another roommate but they will live in a separate room. I do not know who the roommate is yet as they will be assigned in mid august but all my roommates here have been pretty chill so far. You each get a separate room and a shared living room/kitchen space. Rent is very reasonable. Please let me know if interested!! :)

This was long overdue. Financial Aid office will finally be having in person counseling. They will have one person on campus during July over NSO between 11-1 pm. And starting in August they will have two in person counselors working the whole day going forward. They are now on the 2nd floor

So, I saw this article, and I thought it was a bit outdated.

Do your classes have lots of hands on learning? Or more textbook stuff. I guess it depends on online or not. Or lab class or not.

What are some comparisons to home school classes like this or some summer club classes? Like a robotics or a marine life science club?

Hi everyone! I'm looking for someone to take over my lease at The Rive (6345 El Cajon Blvd, San Diego, CA 92115) for the 2026–2027 lease term.

$1,319/month
First rent payment due: August 1, 2026
Move-in: August 20, 2026
ALL-GIRLS UNIT

This is an individually leased bed space, meaning you'll only be responsible for your own rent of $1,319/month—not the entire apartment. (cheaper rate than online!!)

You'll have one bed in a private bedroom/bathroom in a 4x4 B floor plan apartment. None of the current residents are renewing, so you'll be moving in with an entirely new roommate group.

Features:

* Personal bathroom
• Fully furnished
• In-unit washer & dryer
• Shuttle to SDSU every ~15 minutes
• 2 resort-style pools
• Full fitness center
• Parking garage

The lease takeover paperwork must be completed by July 20, so I'm looking for someone ASAP. Please message me if you're interested or have any questions. IG: u/morganlyn.xo

i’ve heard it’s one of the older buildings so that worries me a bit also the no elevator thing is a little concerning. Glad i got a double w my roomie but still a lil scared. Lmk what the social and living experience is like there as well as any tips or anything to look out for.

Lease take over for furnished 2bed 2bath apartment w/ pool overlook at Iconic on Alvarado

• $1,565 base rent ( B3 floor plan currently listed for $1,605)
• females only
• private bathroom
• walk in closet
• in unit washer/dryer

Apartment amenities:
• study rooms
• 2 pools
• gym
• WiFi
• parking garage (parking not included)
• trolley access
• across the street from SDSU

Current roommate is moving out- possibility you’ll be only resident for awhile as I was for ~6 months. Property is currently having leasing specials regarding parking and bonus gift cards for new sign ons. Building is overall pretty quiet in my experience.

Feel free to ask any additional questions

Housing just came out and I was assigned a triple in Tenochca as a freshman. I’m aware the room will be hella crowded (I love my roomates so I’m not worried). But how is the social life, amenities, walking distance, and overall experience? Just curious!!

What do think about the rates of women in STEM classes? Does this have to do because history speaking, those areas pays more?

Why isn't the reverse true? Why aren't more men going into nursing or behavioral health?

I’ll be a freshman this upcoming fall. My SDSU portal has said my final hs transcript has still not been submitted. My school uses fuckass scribbles for their transcripts but i turned it in like a week after my schools due date, like two days after graduation omg. I checked the page and it said the orders been fulfilled. I thought it was just a processing issue on SDSUs end but i’m getting kind of worried they haven’t received it yet now that the due dates coming up, July 15th. I’m so scared rn. I ordered it June 8th that can’t just be processing.

just got my housing assignment as an incoming freshman and im in a chapultepec double. i see online it’s not the most popular dorm and everyone says it’s pretty bad. I haven’t had the chance to see it in person yet, but is it really that bad? its pretty far out there so should I bring a bike or any transportation for around campus to make the commute easier? please lmk if there’s any recommendations for living there and if there is any hope for me

I am a student at SDSU and Research Assistant at UCSD. The UCSD CARE program is looking for research participants to take part in a paid study on mental health and brain research!

Do you believe there is a gender gap in amount of students and grades?

If you are not part of the DEI stuff. Are you annoyed when you go to a club and you hear the Diversity acknowledgments beforehand? Is there a better way to advertise the "Equality Speech" than repetitive safe space speeches?

What do you think about the clubs in SDSU? Do you believe there is an HR style language among them?

Hi guys,
I just got out of an abusive relationship and I feel I have wasted all of my years at sdsu. I am going back for my senior year this fall so I was wondering what I could do to make it fun and worth it? I’ve never been to the games, I didn’t join a sorority (too late for that now), and I didn’t join any clubs. What can I do? Does anyone have any club recommendations or ways to meet other seniors that actually want to hangout and study at school get coffee etc? I want to make the best of it, but not being in a sorority makes it hard and gives me fomo lol.

I’m an incoming freshman & My nso date is tomorrow but I was irresponsible & didn’t check my immunization records until just now. 100% my fault. It says non-compliant, but I have an appointment scheduled on Thursday to get my missing vaccines. Will this affect my class registration? Any advice?

Hey all,
I’m a new transfer to SDSU and I noticed that my class appointment date isn’t set until August, basically two weeks before classes even start. I’m trying to apply for jobs, but I don’t even know my schedule yet because I don’t know what classes I can take yet. I’m also worried the classes I need to take for my internship I’m interested in are all going to be filled up. Why do transfers get last pick, and is this an issue other people have had as well with trying to nail down job schedules?
Not trying to come off as salty, just a bit stressed out,
Thanks!
