On-Campus Housing at SDSU
The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
Living on campus really allows you to fully immerse yourself in the culture hair. The first time I came to campus, I fell in love with the place, it was so green and just so lively walking around campus. It just made me feel like I belonged and I really did see myself spending the next four years here. My first thoughts were that I'm really excited, but this is a really big school and there's a lot of new faces and everybody's energy level was just through the roof. The residence halls are so diverse, there are so many different people, so many different backgrounds. That's something I really appreciate, was just forming those bonds and connections from the first day. It's the little moments, it's having those late night study sessions with all your friends or an impromptu game night that you just can't get anywhere else. On campus They have these events called Aztec Knights. The all the freshmen get to go to basically put your bags down and you go to these events and everyone on campus. There's dancing games, food, it's a really, really fun time when living on campus, you have a bunch of different amenities. There are basketball courts, volleyball courts, a pool, we have a lot of resources from Wifi to streaming on television to laundry services are located in every resident's hall downstairs. They're community kitchens where you're able to cook with your friends. You have everything that you could possibly need to not have to go off campus having of your plan is great While living on campus, there's a variety of options here for you to try and no matter where you live, there's always something within walking distance. It also allowed me to not focus too much on budgeting so that I can concentrate more on my studies. A learning community is a community of students who are all learning something similar and then they live together within a residence hall. Students living in residential learning communities are taking the same classes, whether it be for their major or whether it be a seminar class, your peers are supportive in your academic studies because they push you more than anyone else. They hold you accountable to do well in your classes. To be honest, when you need help in something they help me study, they helped motivate me, I could go next door to knock on a friend's door and ask for help on any kind of homework problem that I was having difficulty with. It is like you're having a sleepover every single day with all your best friends, but you're also getting work done. Having a resident advisors have been great, A fellow student has been there and done that and just living with us currently they've showed me where my classes are, they provided me resources on how to join new opportunities on campus, where the events are, what's going on, you're in a community, you have people to lean on and so that knowledge is really readily available and you have support systems that allow you to be super successful here at STS You we have the star centers which are great amenities for free tutoring. It's important to have academic resources where you're living because I always know where you can go to find support when it comes to picking classes and set you up for success. You find a huge community and a family that you can't get off campus and that is something that you're going to take with you for the rest of your life. I just felt right at home every time I have stepped on campus. I just felt like this is where I'm supposed to be.
