It has been interesting to re-integrate into back into USA and attend SFSU (San Francisco State University), especially after the budget cuts. SFSU has restricted double majors and minors, so that all business students can no longer double major or take a minor. There is a scramble for students desperately trying to get in their courses with many students unable to graduate.
I am still learning about the college of business and the university. In my transition from community college to a state college, I am finding that the community college seem to be better than the state. Yes that is strange.
Overall, the resources at the community college seem more efficient and well organized with modern labs and new computers. At state, we have 15 year old computers that are constantly being scavenged, and this was before the budget cuts. Resources for disability, tutoring, language labs, math labs, etc, are more robust at the community college level, and seem non-existent or limited at the state level. And the quality of the courses available at the community college just seems better, especially with more range of teachers to select from and smaller classes. The content of some elective courses, at least within Information Systems, is rather limited or introductory. At SFSU, the College of Business does not have even a systems administration course for Information Systems. The community colleges have more robust advance courses, where students can learn skills that are directly applicable to a job.
