A person with a genuine intent on learning should attend CSUN. The atmosphere of the school is very relaxed and calming so people who can appreciate that type of environment will benefit exponentially from it. There are many avenues to become involved in academic programs, social or political groups, but not as many for athletes seeking careers in professional sports. However, CSUN offers a very diverse curriculum suitable for all undeclared students trying to find his/her niche in the world.

Any transfer student who majors in art or television/film should transfer to Cal. State Northridge. This campus is of medium size, not gargantuan like a University of California institution. The film program here is amazing. Professors are liberal intellectuals providing freedom for creative activity with few restrictions. Students are free to express themselves in a variety of ways through art, through choosing different electives, and through clubs and organizations. Any student who is financially dependent on family or financial aid should also attend this school because of the available scholarships and loans. There are also plenty of jobs available.

If you like being involved, this school will help you get out there. It gets very hot out here, but the weather is constantly changing from depending on the season.

Nicole

I believe that this school would be best suited for someone who enjoys city life, and who can find something interesting to do in the middle of such a city. I personally would prefer a less-developed surrounding area with more trees and fewer houses. Students at this school should have a preference for the former, and should like an urban environment surrounded by people.

An open minded person of any age who was not comfortable in a standard classroom envirnment. One who might have felt that the way they learn was not being facilitated, and overall were frustrated by the way things work in a "regular" school. A person who wants freedom to learn, and is movitaved enough to construct their own curriculum. And most importantly, someone who enjoys learning; Not because they feel like they have to, but because they genuinely love to learn.

Daniel

If you don't have a lot of money towards education, but you still would like a four-year degree, a CSU school is right up your alley. There are small fee hikes every year (especially since we're in cash-strapped California), but the price tag doesn't come near what private univeristies charge.

At CSUN, all kinds of students are found and that is the beauty of this school. We have all kinds of races and ethnicities and backgrounds found at CSUN. One great thing about this school is the amount of growth. There are different social clubs such as jewish, persian, hispanic, black, asian, etc. clubs that help students feel comfortable and feel right at home. We have different cultural events based on different backgrounds and cultures. We also have students attending who had disability since the school does not discriminate. CSUN allows everyone get similar education.

Everyone should attend this school. It is very diverse and you will learn something new about something, such as a culture, or a field of study they would have never been interested in.

CSUN would be an ideal school for anyone who is somewhat reserved or cautious about going into college. Not because everyone is just as unsociable, but more because of the large variety of clubs, groups, and workshops designed to help students integrate and socialize. The many fraternities and sororities at CSUN are all icredibly student friendly, diverse, and also serve to help students find their place.

Roxana

Anyone can attend CSUN-from highschool graduates to working adults that want to complete their education. I had classmates that turned down scholarships from other colleges/universities in order to attend CSUN. Why pay more for a great quality education, when you don't have to. In the end, it only matters what you do and how you apply the things you learned in school.

Someone who is comfortable in a large-school environment, and perhaps someone who isn't interested in making new friends. This is a commuter campus, and someone who has a busy life would probably find this campus to be satisfactory.

A person who is intrested in gaining knowledge about other cultures should attend for CSUN has highly rated and rigirous cultural learning programs.

Anyone who wishes to achieve a B.A./B.S. and some M.A. students. This university is one of the least expensive 4 year schools in the area, making it a good school for anyone who lives in the area.

It also has the advantage of learning to live in a fast paced environment.

Stephanie

The type of person that should attend Northridge is someone that believes in variance, someone that is not set on experiencing the college life depicted in movies. Northridge is rare in that its student population is similiar to that of a community college. Therefore a student looking to attend Northridge should be open to being in a classroom with many types of people, especially people of varying ages. Northridge does have some movie elements, like every college, but it is a University that is open to people from all walks of life.

Students who are married and/or have children are welcomed, because many classes are offered at various times of the day to accomodate their schedules. Students with learning disabilities are treated equally. I had a deaf student in my class last semester, and I took notes for her. I learned some American Sign Language from my interactions with her, which will always be invaluable to me. Anyone who attends my school will learn more than just concepts and facts; CSUN provides lifelong learning.

A person that attends this school should be motivated and dedicated to their studies and what they want to get out of there education. Especially if they happen to be economic majors, accounting, finance, biology, environmental health, math majors to name a few it is very competative not only should the student attending this school be willing to compete with others they should also be willing to compete within themselves as it is challenging, but at the end the rewards are great.

This school is designed for the students who want to better themselves and and leave the school, degree in hand, with the feeling that success in life in whatever field you focused on in school is yours. It works for the academically focused student as well as the "I' just don't know what I want to do in life" student. It is easy enough to be accepted into directly from high school, as long as the GPA is over 3.0, and is a terrific option for the transfer student.
