The school has a lot of resources, programs, and clubs. Everyone is so nice and the campus is very clean. I got stuck in the elevator once and the cops quickly responded & got me out. 10/10

Go Toros! If you have CSUDH as an option to attend; by far would be the best decision to accept! Loved my school and getting my degree from here!

CSUDH cares for its students and gives many opportunities for the student to excel. If you commute to school this is the school for you. If you are also looking for an inexpensive school than this is also your school :).

Their biology department is full of frauds. Everything is being done for their convenience and profit. They do don't give a damn about students. They make students wait years to get in classes. They schedule each classes 1 hour day for 3 days. So the professors can avoid the traffic. Don't care about waisting students time and money.

If you have other options for schools, go there instead! This school looks like it could be great, but the teachers are subpar and highly uneducated. Easier than community college, but this school will hold you back from a better one for graduate school. Also most classes are held in trailers or rundown rooms with no AC during the hottest days.

WORST CAMPUS EVER. CAMPUS TOO BIG AND BUMPY FOR WHEELCHAIRS
Overall 1.2
I spent 1 semester at this school and it was the worse experience of my life. The different departments like financial aid are non existent and are just so rude. Nobody answers the phone ever! Being a COMM major I expected way more and it was just ridiculous! This school takes your money. Housing is appalling. Thank god I left for another school!

CLS department is worst than an old car dealership. First, they enroll more students than they can. Then keep students from enrolling in classes even if they have completed their prerequisites. They come up with a lie not to let the students enroll in courses. After doing 14 prerequisite transfer classes, pushing me to do GE. Discrimination.
Overall 1.5
CLS & Bio department is the worst. Their priority is not your education. They just look for ways to increase their profit. They don't have enough professors to teach. i have been on the waitlist for 3 semesters to get into a class. I was supposed to graduate last year but couldn't do it because I couldn't get into a class.

Community colleges in LA are better than this university. It is really small with minimum facilities and staff, in a awful neighborhood. Biology department is the worst. You have to be on semesters long waitlists to get into a class and they schedule a classes one hour a day for 3 days/week to waste your time. OMG!
