Love the COB! Lab and internet are great while its classrooms are neat. The USU is a nice place to hang out and the library is beautiful and big!

I m grateful to CSULB, Any issues I ever encountered were remedied by upper level staff. The professors and departments are stellar. I needed specific accomodations and I was met with open arms and wonderful support that far surpassed anything I could have expected. Love my school!

The business program is excellent, and there is support to get internships, improve resume, mentoring programs. The professors are knowledgeable with a lot of experience, and they help you succeed. I never had a problem scheduling appointment with counselors; the wait was not long either.

CS department is a joke. STEM students run away.
Definitely not worth coming here, even if you've heard good things about this school. The only slightly good thing about this school is the ENGR advisors. The other advisors aren't good. Also, the president doesn't really care about the students or our needs.

Dont take any teachers with 10 year or theyll make you regret it. Teachers dont care, school doesnt make sure the teachers are doing thier job. its next to an elementary school. the campus has old buildings that they refuse to renovate. there arent enough lights at night, people keep to themselves unless they want you to join their bible group.

What an absolute joke this school is, I've been to 4 other universities and have never seen such consistently poor quality of instruction. Biggest mistake of my life was coming here to finish my degree.

I absolutely hate this school. The CS department is unorganized. Class starts late afternoon bc they hired people with actual day jobs, so big gaps between classes if u have morning class. Ive spent more of my time learning off YT than anything from this campus. I had 3 good profs out of about 20 profs. Dont waste ur time, go somewhere else.

They just want money and nothing else! No help for students, especially for transfer students! They are cheating us for coursework we have already completed in college and they are not accepting. Shame on CSULB!
