Fullerton is pretty close to Disneyland. It has more of a suburban feel. Students tend to feel like they have to join clubs and get involved on campus to make friends and have a more enjoyable college experience. The campus is small and very close to downtown Fullerton and Disneyland.
I recommend doing more than just going to school: interact with clubs, go to teacher office hours, and sign-up on events on campus to get the full experience of being at CSUF. The campus is old, but slowly are adding modern improvements to the campus. The campus is good and is close to a lot of places a student might go such as parks, restaurants, mall, or movies. The degree you get here is the same everywhere else and probably cheaper too.
First off, I am really happy that I chose the college I am attending now. It is a huge commuter school and I am one of those commuters. I have met some really great people and hope to make more new friends through the next few years. I think my experience thus far would be different if I actually lived on campus or in the off campus apartments.
I feel as though I would be more involved and really help me explore what else is out there. The campus is very pretty and has many art statues and productions around campus. Each college on campus has their own unique area, but come together to provide students with multiple resources. One thing I would change about my school is the parking. It being a commuter school, they need more parking options, and to lower the parking pass price.
So far, I am very excited about all the opportunities that Fullerton has to offer. I am already involved with activities and clubs. I have chosen classes with academic advisors and am developing many new relationships with people from different parts of California. It's about 20 miles south of downtown Los Angeles.
There are about , residents in Long Beach. My school is extremely diverse, which I think makes it unique, and full of friendly, approachable students. Although if I could do it all over again, I wish I could have chosen a college that would feel more like a college experience, as many students at my school commutes and there virtually no fun campus life.
I attended community college prior to coming to Cal State Long Beach and this was my dream school while I was in high school. I was so excited to come to this school. While I would of loved to go to a school that had a major football team, this is what was going to fit my family's budget, location and degree.
I got everything I wanted out of school and more. My department had amazing teachers that were incredibly experienced and knowledgeable, which made advising super simple. I have zero complaints about my experience. I love that at CSULB I am taught by professors who really care about my education and who push me to succeed on a daily basis.
I also enjoy all the academic resources, such as the University Library and the 24 hour study place in the student union, as well as the extracurricular resources, such as the bowling alley in the student union and the Student Recreation and Wellness Center, just to name a few!
Lastly, CSULB has amazing psychological counseling services available to students everyday, who make the transition to college as well as overcoming the common college obstacles so much easier to tackle. Cal Maritime is located in Vallejo.
Vallejo is a very diverse area. Cal Maritime doesn't have many academic offerings, but it's a great option if you're interested in one of its programs.
California State Maritime Academy is a small university that offers you the chance to really get to know your classmates and teachers. That being said it is a majority male school going into the male-dominated maritime industry. There is only one dining center on campus with pretty bad food and the dorms aren't that great either. Campus amenities are small but decent. You are required to wear a uniform while on campus and stand watches either on the ship, in the engine room, or in the parking lot box depending on your major.
It does have a lot of alumnae connections and graduates tend to be high earning. Each one of these programs has been skillfully developed and is taught by experienced professors to deliver a stunningly successful learning environment. The diversity for majors is pretty small. Generally people come here already knowing what they intend to major in. This is fantastic if you know what you want to do with your education at age Crippling if you don't.
San Jose is the third largest city in California by population. Only Los Angeles and San Diego are larger. It has about 1 million residents. Many high-tech industries and start-ups are in or near San Jose. SJSU is a super diverse campus and there's always something to get into. However, it is very impacted making trying to get into classes almost impossible. San Jose State University is located in a great location.
It is walking distance to many popular places in Downtown, and it is located in the Silicon Valley where there are always job opportunities. There are also plenty of extra curricular activities available, on and off campus. I have met a great number of people who have made the best out of their experience at SJSU and have come out of it with a great career and enjoyable memories.
Obtaining an internship and career at SJSU is amazing, because we are in the heart of silicon valley and only 45 minutes from SF, there is a lot of opportunity here because employers want to hire us. The college is actually on an old military base. Seaside is about 2 hours south of San Francisco and an hour south of Santa Cruz. The population is about 34, It's only a couple of miles east of Monterey, which is an upscale coastal city that features the famous Monterey Bay Aquarium.
California State University Monterey Bay is an amazing school focused on sustainability, marine life and biology. Although I am not a biology major, I am very proud of the ways my college has focused on being Eco-friendly and doing its part in helping the environment. It's a small, but growing college so a lot of attention is given to students. There are so many opportunities as well for all students such as scholarships, research projects, jobs, etc. There is also an outstanding amount of care from advisors if you begin to slip and they walk you through everything and do their best at assisting you in any way.
This school is definitely not for everyone. My experience has had good parts and bad parts. My biggest tip would be to get involved on campus or in a club. And, bring a car if you can. The parking pass is kinda high in price but life will be so much better with a car. Fresno is the largest city in the Central Valley of California.
It's in between Los Angeles and San Francisco. There are about , people in Fresno, but the area is still associated with agriculture and many of the surrounding cities are heavily involved in agricultural production. Even though Fresno State is a commuter school, it does offer big-time college sports, and there's more school spirit there than at some of the other Cal State schools.
I honestly love California State University, Fresno. Not only are the educational and sports aspects of the college amazing, but the unity and school spirit are more than I could have asked for. The people I have met and friendships I have formed will last a lifetime. I would choose this school again in a heartbeat. Bulldog born, bulldog bred! It is a good school with a lot of resources available to students. However, there are many things that can be improved to make student life easier and better such as more food options on campus, better transportation systems including bikes.
Also, I do not feel safe. At all. As a Criminology major, classes get filled up so fast and many are only offered at night which leaves me to worry about walking in the dark, something I shouldn't be fearful of in my own campus. More than anything, I should not have to push back my graduation year or semester due to not being able to enroll in the classes I need even if I am a senior already. This is absurd.
Great school for a great price. Tuition is very affordable in comparison to other schools. Student life is great. Many opportunities to meet people in clubs or activities. Chico is about an hour and a half north of Sacramento and 3 and a half hours from San Francisco.
It's one of the few Cal State campus locations that can be considered a college town. There's not much going on in Chico unrelated to the college. The population in Chico is about 90, It's close to the Sierra Nevada mountains. I love everything about the school! The lovely college town, the beautiful campus, the professors and advisors in my major, the facilities available to students, and how could I not mention the large variety of outdoor activities right on our doorstep!
Love love love Chico State. Best decision ever! Such a true college town atmosphere! It has been great getting a fresh start away from my home town. I love every experience I have had here, good or bad.
Each experience adds to the overall experience of being in college. I couldn't ask for a better time than being here. Partying is an integral part of the Chico way of life.
The entire community surrounding the campus comes to life on the weekend; you can walk from street to street and always find a house party that'll welcome you in. Turlock is about two hours southeast of San Francisco, and it's about two hours west of Yosemite. Its population is about 73, It offers a small town vibe and the smaller student body at CSU Stanislaus gives it more of a community feel. I wouldn't choose any other school than CSU Stan. Most of the professors will do anything to see their students succeed and that is something very important.
In addition, I enjoy our beautiful campus it just makes me feel happy and relax every time I have to walk between classes. The professors and advisers really helped me to understand the steps that I need to take in order to receive my degree.
They are very helpful. My online learning experience with Stan State was amazing and a great experience. There were online tutoring sessions that you could attend for your classes and their services are completely free and a great opportunity to take advantage of especially during this past year of learning online. My professors were all great, informative, and cared about your success and well being during the pandemic.
I look forward to the reopening of campus in Fall ! Los Angeles is the most populous city in California and the second largest in the US.
Its population is almost 4 million. I have been able to meet new people from all around the world. They have opened my eyes to new experiences and cultures. My school is very diverse which is why I love it, being able to interact with other students on a daily basis helps me improve my communication skills and those students may help me become successful in the future.
My overall experience has been very active, full with new activities and opportunities. I love Cal State LA, the professors are very friendly and are always willing to help out their students. The atmosphere is great, there is a variety of different cultures. The only complaint I have is that the parking is horrible but, overall I could not ask for a better college experience.
It is not as easy to get the classes that are needed for my intended major. The guidance is not really there to help figure out which classes are needed in order to get my BA. San Francisco is a densely populated city on the northern end of the San Francisco Peninsula.
It's known for its cool summers, hills, diversity, progressive politics and the Golden Gate Bridge. San Francisco is about a six hour drive from Los Angeles. I love the location of my school, the weather and the professors.
I would just like to see a larger athletics program because right now the sports on campus aren't very popular. Also, a campus more Greek affiliated would be nice. I love the diversity I see on campus and in my classrooms, I'm meeting people from all over the U. Also since the school is very close to the city there are many volunteer and job opportunities. The school is very accepting and open to all people and I find that safe and comforting. I think San Francisco State is a great university.
It has one of the best Spanish programs in California. The school has such a big international population that you have the chance to make friends with students from all over the world. If you want more of a party-ish school or a school with a lot of school spirit, it's not here. Most people are commuting so they go straight home after classes. I'm not really a party person but I want the option of going instead of trying to hunt down parties that are off campus all parties are basically off-campus.
Arcata is about miles north of San Francisco. Like Chico, it's also a college town. Arcata's population is about 18, Humboldt State is known for its beautiful natural environment, and its students have a reputation for being a tad on the hippie side. My overall experience at school so far has been amazing. I love how it's so different from back home and how people are so friendly.
Even when they don't know you they take the time to say hello. I love how our campus is surrounded by redwood trees and it's only a 5 minute walk and you're in the forest.
Not only do we have beautiful trails in the forest but we also have the ocean. At the highest point on campus you can get a beautiful view of the water with the background of the sunrise or sunset. There is no other place I would rather be getting my education than at Humboldt State University. The general atmosphere of the school is pleasant and welcoming. The towering redwood trees surrounding the school inspire a sense of wonder and appreciation for natural beauty that to the same degree I have not felt before.
Inside the classrooms the professors are experts in their various fields and are, from what I have experienced, professional and deeply invested in the progression and education of each individual student. Not once have I felt that my professor is simply there for a paycheck. Also, as a science major, there is nothing comparable to being able to study diverse fungi, plants, or wildlife in class and then walk five minutes into the Community Redwood Forest on campus to see those same organisms living and functioning in their natural habitats.
That is an experience I think is somewhat unique to Humboldt State University. I enjoy the environment at Humboldt State.
There are many good vibes that surround it and that the people bring. It is very green, calming and peaceful to be in. It is a small town, which is what I enjoy; I'm not very much into the big city life. Majority of the people here are hippies so it's nice being around people that are just like me.
Rohnert Park is about 50 miles north of San Francisco and its population is about 42, Also, Sonoma State is near wine country, where a ton of premium wine is produced. Rohnert Park isn't the most exciting area, but it's peaceful and close to more vibrant cities in the San Francisco Bay Area. There isn't much to do outside of classes or in the area so it is necessary to join clubs or get involved on campus in order to enjoy your time.
The classes are not very difficult and there are some not so great teachers, but if you can get into the right classes there are some amazing teachers! Registration for classes is very competitive and could set you back if you are in an impacted major.
I have enjoyed going to school here, but there are definitely things that could make the school much better. I would say that Sonoma State is designed to help students with academic success. There are services in place to help students with special needs. Professors are more than supportive and the workload is usually reasonable.
The size of Sonoma State was perfect for my college experience. I met some of the greatest people and truly had wonderful relationships with most of my professors. Especially in state, it was also much more affordable than some other options.
I was worried that attending a state school would not be as impressive to graduate programs, but with the amount of opportunities to get involved and the support, I was recently accepted! The campus and dorms are truly unmatched, it's beautiful and does not take 25 minutes to walk across campus!
Overall, the best four years of my life! San Bernardino is about hours east of Los Angeles, depending on the traffic there's usually traffic. The city of San Bernardino has a population of about , San Bernardino is often considered to be a diverse, blue-collar city.
Unfortunately, San Bernardino is one of the poorest cities in the US. It's a commuter school so there really isn't much to do on campus but there are events here and there you can look forward to. California State University of San Bernardino is an amazing campus with extraordinary professors that want to see their students excel. My time so far at this school has been remarkable and given the opportunity, I'd choose this school over and over again.
The staff and students are all friendly and helpful in making sure that every single person is succeeding. I couldn't be happier with my school, and my decision to become a San Bernardino Coyote! Go Yotes! There is no sense of community on this campus, even at the campus housing level.
It is a commuter school that does not place much emphasis on building a community of proud students. Students treat attending school as a chore and avoid housing or staying on campus in general. A possible factor is the low socio-economic status of the area.
I love my school because how diverse it is and the opportunities they have. For opportunities my school is always throwing events for students to learn how to network. I believe this helps us get ready for the real world and our careers.
Camarillo offers a suburban environment, and it has a population of about 65, people. I have grown so much both academically and professionally. I have made many great memories and friends and I have encountered excellent professors. I feel that the professors are encouraging and help lead to success. I have also had the opportunity to build rapport with my professors in a professional manner. I have also been able to get out of my comfort zone and network which has led to amazing opportunities, such as job shadows and special projects, that I could have never imagined I would have been capable of doing.
The resources available on campus, such as the Writing and Multiliteracy Center and the Career Development center are invaluable to help us succeed. I truly enjoy studying at this university and the environment is beautiful. I love the location of my school, it pushes the students to focus on their academics because there aren't many attractions close to the school. Its very relaxing, we have the beach really close which i think is an advantage of this Cal State, a lot of the Cal states don't have beautiful beaches like we do.
The staff and faculty are amazing people, they want you to graduate and they show it, there's a lot of help you can find if you need it which is great! The financial aid department is terrible. I had to email five people before I finally got a response to my question. Scholarships are easy to apply for, just have to fill out a general application and write a small essay.
They even gave me an even better scholarship once it became available. Northridge has a population of about 27, It offers a suburban environment. I grew up about 30 minutes from Northridge, and I remember some kids in elementary school having their birthday parties at a roller skating place in Northridge called Skateland. That's a random piece of nostalgia, so it's probably not helpful. The CSUN campus is large and its student body is diverse.
I like coming here however it is lacking school spirit. We need a football team, also registering is terrible because there are not enough professors to accommodate all the students. My school is unique for its diversity and for the wonderful people that attend as well as the wonderful people that are there to help the students succeed. It is a wonderful school with full of professionals that have had experience in the field they are teaching. And not to forget the University Student Union is always having events for its students such as noon concerts or craft corner, at CSUN we have the right amount of education and fun.
I feel as though this is a great school. I have had a few great classes, and have had the opportunity to interact with some outstanding professors.
Getting the classes you need becomes a challenge, and there are too many students for my liking. Sacramento is the capital of California. It's about 2 hours northeast of San Francisco. Its population is roughly , Sacramento is an extremely diverse city.
The CSU Sacramento campus has a reputation for being very scenic. It's a pretty good school. It is pretty impacted though. It's hard to get into classes so it takes a while to graduate. But we do have a new president who wants to help us graduate in time. The campus is beautiful, the area can get very warm but with over 3, trees around, there's plenty of shade.
Only downside to having so many trees is allergy season, it get to me every time but I still love the area. The people and staff are friendly and very helpful, it is very easy to find a good and cheap place to eat in the area. There are a variety of different programs and degrees available, plus there are great advisers to help with where to go and what to do.
I can't wait to start school again in the fall! I overall love my experience at California State University, Sacramento! I appreciate the diversity of the campus. It makes me feel like I belong on campus. During club days, I can physically see how diverse the campus is. Publishing Middle Two Column 3. Publishing Middle Two Column 4.
