Lectures are always slow moving but clear. If you work and aren't afraid to ask questions, all of his classes are easy.

I guess others in my class were also motivated to comment by the mid-term evaluation. Not much to add. Theory is not my favorite subject, but Candace ...

average school

The campus has a poor layout, am not impressed with where all of the buildings are set up at.

SDSU is a great agriculture based campus. It has a nice "hometown" feel.

There are things that could be better, like food and dorm options especially when you have to stay in dorms and have a meal plan for 2 years.

SDSU is located in what I think is a great place. The town seems small but it is a college town so there are many different stores and restaurants around if you need something to do. However, it is not a major city so you can't expect to have an unlimited list of activities. It is what you make of your experience.

Warning total Suitcase Campus! Not very much to do in Brookings, so everyone leaves.

Overall love SDSU as a whole,dairy department desperately needs better professors if it continues to advertise as the best school for dairy in the country. It is sad to be in this department when the professors are unaware of topics and teach useless informations. Love Brookings and the atmosphere just wish I could take more pride in my major.

College and your experience here is what you are going to make it. Everyone here has been really nice and I'm never bored. I love going to school here and I rarely go home. The only downside of SDSU is the cold and the parking for students.

Great campus and great town! Brookings has my favorite downtown area I've ever been to and the town isn't too big at just over 22,000. Also best homecoming tradition: Hobo Day!

Brookings winters are long and cold.

SDSU is where I called home for the last 5 years and I wouldn't change my experience for anything. I have made many memories and great friendships. But, am looking forward to May 2019 when I graduate.

Very nice campus with something going on all the time. Not much of anything to do in town. Dining hall is horrible and food options in the union aren't open on weekends so plan on eating your own food or going home every weekend to eat.

The campus isn't anything special. There isn't great food options so be ready to cook or find something off campus. The town itself is your average college town, there's a few bars and places to eat but not much else. Academically the school is good, professors make and effort to help students succeed.

Small safe town. Closest international airport is 4 hours away. Bad physics and math departments.
