CSULB is a large campus, the size of a small city. It offers a multitude of clubs, activities, and resources. You have to search them out though and not be afraid to try new things. CSULB is not for the shy because it is easy to choose anonymity in a large campus. However, if you choose to explore, to discover new things about yourself and your interests, to meet new people and to open yourself to new possibilities, then CSULB has much to offer you.

Over 30,000 students take classes at CSULB so it seems as if it would be very impersonal but within a student's major, one quickly starts to get to know others. There are a lot of opportunities to connect both with students on campus and the faculty. I have enjoyed every class that I have taken at the school and would highly recommend this college­­lovingly referred to as the Beach!

I think this school is perfect for students who have an idea of what they want to major in. Even if that idea is vague on campus advisors can help you find ways to apply yourself in the field of your choice. It is an amazing school if your going into the science fields and plan on going into graduate studies since the percent of students that get into grad school is quite high. Since many industrial and geographically important areas are near by you can experience, through internships and field trips, a glimpse of your future job.

J

This is a very large school, so prospective students should look forward to a huge pool of fellow students who could be friends or acquaintances. There are many clubs and activities going on around school and you're sure to find something which interests you. The campus itself is very attractive and has plenty of areas in which just to hang out, eat, or study. The campus is quite huge, though, and you'll feel dwarfed by it at times. With all this in mind, social people who are looking for some fun and education should attend Long Beach.

Long Beach State University is a university full of talented professors who truly care about their students and want them to do well, but only if the students truly put an effort into their studies. It is a university for students who care about their education and plan on thriving in whatever it is they choose to do, no matter what it is. The limitless amount of clubs and organizations unite the student body so everyone has a memorable, worthwhile experience, both in the classrooms and out.

The kind of person that would attend this school are those who want a good education from a university, but doesn't have a whole lot of funding. Cal State Long Beach is really great on it's value when it comes to the quality of the education for it's price. Even though tuittion at a university will always be more expenseive than a junior college, Cal State Long Beach has the best value compared to other state colleges. Also, my school has an excellent Nursing Program for those looking to pursue in this field.

If you like the beach, the nightlife, and all the cool places you can visit, CSULB is th college to go to beacuse it is in the center of it and not to far from the city of long beach or L.A. Locals or anyone who just want to take a short drive to school everyday should go to long beach. It's an average normal school for the average person. Not to exciting but better than other universities.

A person who is very dedicated to school, this school is challenging.

Alyssa

Someone who likes the similiarity of high school and the feeling of college. I enjoy seeing familiar faces as I walk around campus. I like sharing classes with those familiar faces.
