The only thing to be criticized when discussing different universities is accessibility to success, and this campus provides plenty of that. Many of the comments I have been reading on this thing seem to me like personal problems that can only be dealt with by an increase in personal motivation. There is a great college experience to be had here and it's up to you to make it. Go Greek, Go ASI, Go anything that you want, with over 350 organizations to join there is something at this campus for everybody!

After missing the application deadline for UCLA, Cal, and Stanford, I decided to continue with my West Coast dream at the prestigious California State University, Long Beach. I was shocked when I received my wait list letter, but I was persistent and finally nabbed a spot at "The Beach." My experience as a CSULB student has been second to none. The program I'm in (Animal Studies) is ranked in the top 20 nationally and I have yet to miss an IM raquetball opportunity. In addition to my success as a scholar and an athlete, it was at CSULB that I was given the opportunity to forge a stronger foundation in Christ. I thought it was great that mass on Sunday was mandatory for all students, which is something those stuffy snobs at Columbia would never understand. Overall, I could not have had a better college experience. Thank you California State University, Long Beach. And many happy returns. Education Quality: A+, Useful Schoolwork: B+ Have a Question?

That is exactly what it is. Kids drive from their homes in closeby cities and honestly don't want anything to do with school, or the people they meet in their classes. I've met about 150 people from nearby cities and maybe 2 or 3 people that actually live by me in long beach and are worth talking to. The school work is unbelievably easy. My classes are honestly all a joke. First semester was also a joke. The surrounding area is ok. Most kids go to these skanky underage night clubs and not much else. If given the chance to return I would definitely not. I am transferring. CSULB is a school without school spirit or the real college vibe. It's basically like people drive, find parking for an hour, go to their easy classes, then leave and not talk to anyone. Scholastic Success: A+, Individual Value: F Have a Question?

Science. I have already been to one 4-year state run school (University of Oregon) and I know how fantastic they can be. This school is awful. My biggest complaint is the lack of class availability. If I had known what I know now, I never, ever, would have chosen CSULB. They do not offer most classes every term, they don't even offer 50% of the classes every term. If you are lucky the class you need will be offered once a year but many classes are only offered every other year and only during one term that year, so if you miss it you will have to wait another full year (two terms) before it is offered again. This especially happens in the upper division classes, when you are trying to graduate. And don't count on summer classes to try to help you graduate in a decent amount of time, they mainly offer 100 level classes or 500 level thesis classes during the summer and not very much between those two extremes. I would not recommend this school to anyone who plans on being done with their education in a normal amount of time (4-5 years). Coming here will add a minimum of another year onto that timeline, and that is for non-impacted majors like mine, I can't even imagine what hell it must be trying to get classes in the impacted majors!
