CSU is an amazing school that provides so many opportunities and connections. All of the professors truly care about your success. The cafeteria has great food options! The little hibachi and salad bar are my favorites. There are always a ton of events and meetings going on so it is easy to get involved and network.

This is my first semester here, but I am really liking it so far. The professors, staff, and students are all really nice. Pretty small class sizes. I also love how easy it is to interact with your professor if you are ever having any troubles. This school has many resources to set their students up for success. A really great school to attend.

Very fun school, not too big to feel intimidated but not too small to feel stifled.

Worse school ever. Period. Not here for student success.

Waste of money. They do not care about your education. You are better off teaching yourself.

I have been going to CSU for several years now taking night classes as my work schedule would allow for it. I can honestly say my entire experience here has been horrible. I would strongly advise anyone against going to this university. It has been a struggle since day one. I wish I could go back in time and warn myself.

Don't be fooled by the low tuition the housing on campus will make up for the expense by making you take out loans just to pay it. Warning ?? this school has poor academics and the housing is 10,000 grand a semester.

This school and everything about it sucks
Overall 1.8
This school has been pretty much a miss for me and the majority of students I speak with want to transfer out. The only good thing is the class sizes and the professors, and the amount of kind students. It's a suitcase college and barely anyone stays throughout the weekend, and the cafeteria is horrible.
Overall 1.8
CSU is more focused in putting money into making the campus look good to prospective incoming freshmen than creating an environment conducive to learning for those of us already enrolled. The internet rarely connects, the labs are understocked, textbooks are outrageously priced. But there are flat screens everywhere, lounges, and a brand new gym.

Would not go back given the chance. This is my only option for college.
