“I thought all colleges were the same, howeverAverageBusiness - Management and Administration
I thought all colleges were the same, however i was sadly mistaken. It is really hard to find a job coming from CSUSM. Employers just look down on alumni from CSUSM because they say its less "challenging". The campus is great but education wise, i would recommend another school. The academics at CSUSM are sort of like high school but dumbed down.

I think that this school is great if you are not looking for a huge social scene, if that is what you are looking for go to SDSU. The budget cuts hurt the school right now but they are attempting to make the most of their resources.

“The focus at CSUSM is not the students.Bright
The focus at CSUSM is not the students. While the faculty, meaning professors, are certainly helpful, the administration focuses on making their environment more comfortable rather than developing a student friendly campus. Other than feeling that the students concerns come second to the administrations, its a good campus.
