 | Quite Bright | If you are interested in social activities and school clubs, then this is a school for you. But for me, who does not fit in with the popular crowd and would consider myself an "outcast," fitting into this school was difficult. I come from a strict upbringing and most of the "normal" students would find being rude the norm. A good number of the females are so rude. They gossip, become bossy and even off campus, I even see some screaming at each other and I hide in the background disgusted and embarrassed that someone from my own school would act like that. The boys think about booze and sex and other dangerous things, therefore, I did not fit in too well. However, the academics were pretty challenging and decent as I had a great experience with the classes and other programs that I was able to fit myself into. | Preparedness: C, Reputation: B | | |

I had a mixed experience at the school, both good and bad and I managed to tough it out.
The Pluses:
-shuttle service around campus so I would not get ran over by careless students.
-advocacy from DSS
-Some good professors
-the campus was nice and so is the basketball arena
-snacks during finals week
-a few professors that understood my disability
-Many different venues around campus, such as the theater, the concert hall, the Pyramid, Japanese Gardens, etc.-The city has a lot of things for people to do
-Good advisers that can help me decide what class/professor I should have
The Minuses:
-Some of the people do not speak very good English, so it is hard to ask, for example, when applying or all over campus. -Too many people and not enough classes
-People who study on the weekends
-People just being flat out rude
-Some professors are very insensitive
-Studying in the library becomes an inapporpriate chit-chat session
-The parking
-A lack of supervision when the k-12 schools visit here
-Trying to get into the university and be given a run aroundOverall, I would give the school a 6.5 out of 10 and there are some things that need to improve to better the quality for me and other students. | Preparedness: C, Reputation: B | | |

| Bright | | I was expecting to have a good experience at CSULB since graduating from JC and I was proven to be wrong in my later years. When I came to this school, the soar people were very unwelcoming and very unhelpful. I could not get the needed classes I wanted for my major and was stuck with a couple of irrelavant classes. The peer advisors were not very helpful at all. Worst off, the events were only for the so-called popular students; therefore, if you were not popular, you were not allowed to join. A majority of the students were very rude and obnoxious. The female students were interested in the boys, rumors, and excuse making as the boys were interested in one major thing-sex and partying. I would be considered an outcast, since I do not partake in what these students do. Mostly, making friends was not an easy thing for me at all. My major was decent, except for a few professors whom I will not name. They made my classes miserable with their arrogant attitude and put down the other students if they had any other opinions. I did have a few good instructors here, though. In addition, your freedoms and rights were violated. You cannot even give your own opinion without the students and faculty berating you for your right to freedom of speech. They also tell you what you can't eat, drink, wear, live, etc. That is none of their business and have no right to rob me of my freedom to coexist with society. On the other hand, the campus (when school is not in session) is nice and the basketball arena is nice.My advice to those transferring who are having the same problems I had is to join organizations outside of this school and make better friends. I did that and I have met a lot of nice people outside of here. | Preparedness: C-, Reputation: C | | |
