I am a business major in my first semester at the university. Monterey was not my first choice, but I went there because I was denied admission into my first choice school. I have to say that after being there for just one week, I know that I should have stayed at the JC and tried again later to gain admission to my first choice. The university has a set of added requirements that pretty much make it impossible to graduate in two years for a transfer student. The teachers treat you like high school kids. Lap Tops are not allowed in class what so ever. As someone that has been taking notes on a lap top for my entire College career, not being able to use one is quite an inconvenience. The dorms are pretty average, but if something is broken, good luck getting it fixed. The wireless internet in the dorms is pretty much impossible to use. The only thing this school really has going for it is the small class sizes. The school has potential, but it is definitely a long way away from realizing that potential. I will be transferring out in the spring.

CSUMB staff are not just horrible at their job, they're horrible people. You have many instructors who throw you a text book on day one, and call it a semester. You have instructors openly admitting to providing students with study guides that only prepare you to get a C if you commit that study guide to memory, then blaming the students for low test scores. Admissions are some of the lowest forms of life in this school, they hate their jobs, and it shows. CSUMB does not practice the SERVICE CULTURE AND ETHICS it preaches so often in it's Business School. I laugh when they email/call me about their new online graduate program. I got my Bachelors degree there, but would never spend one more dollar to fund the mass stupidity that takes place their. Don't take my word for it though, go there and see for yourself how it feels to NOT get what your promised when your asked to pay for their educational "service."

This school is one that you would come to just to get a degreee, not for a college experience. It's impossible to transfer out. In the middle of no where, the fog gets depressing as a while. Wasted first semester with bs classes that won't count for anyother school. There is no school spirit, parking lots are empty during the weekend. I would not recommend coming here, and if you pick it just for the beach, your fooling yourself.
