With a new school year in full swing, there is room for improvement at Sonoma State University. While we attend an amazing school with many good qualities, there are always some things that could change for the better. The STAR asked a handful of students what they wanted to see change on campus this year and they had some thoughtful answers.

We gathered students from different years and majors to see what they had to say. The answers ranged from issues like more available classes to better parking, then got more complex with the concern for our lack of diversity. It’s important that Sonoma State listens to student recommendations in order to make our school a better place for everyone.
