California State University-Los Angeles Top Questions

This school is very open minded, which is a good thing because it makes everyone feel welcome. The cross cultural center has many events to share with the students, they create different events such as "Sex Toys" not to promote sex, but to make the subject less awkward and in a way more acceptable to talk about because it is something that most people are curious but do not ask for the same reason that it is "weird". They also create other events like movie nights where they don't show your typical friday night movie but documentaries of the life of gay, lesbians, and transgender students. They make sure the students are aware of everyone. This school is not afraid to speak out.
