Depending on your major, you can love it or hate it. I expected the classes to be a lot harder than they were. A lot of students seem like idiots. If you come to class, and do the work you will do well. Everyone always says "spend many hours a week studying your notes" I've spent a couple hours the day before and aced tests. The city of California is as dull as it gets. There is a dairy queen and a subway. A lot of people say there is nothing to do. If you really want to party every night and be really social, you definitely can be. You can't just sit around and hope that someone asks you what you're doing tonight. It can be fun and other times it can be boring.

I was very happy with my fundamental studies in physics and mathematics. There was a range of student abilities in the physics program. Some students were very bright and eventually moved on to grad school in physics or materials science. Others were less talented, but nobody was unmotivated to learn. We had a team atmosphere and got some cool stuff done. While I was in the program, I was fairly neutral about its quality. It was until I got to grad school and met some other physics students from bigger-name institutions that I realized how much better my experience was. I recommend joining the Chemistry and Physics Department, especially if you are very bright. The faculty will challenge you and give you the time and space to do some great things that you wouldn't be able to do at a much larger university.

If you are looking for night life, look elsewhere, it is a suitcase school and everyone goes home on the weekends. The town itself has a gas station and subway, and that’s it, literally. Even though Pittsburgh is only an hour away you have to pay a 2 dollar toll each way. If you are looking for a party school then go to a larger university. The coursework is just busywork and you do not feel like you learn anything. The only upside to this university is the dorms, they are practically brand new and have their own bathroom and showers. That is the only reason the majority of the students go here. A lot of students transfer after their first or second year. If you asked anyone on the campus if they were happy at Cal U the popular answer would be no. Thu, 08 May 2008 01:26:35 GMT http://www.studentsreview.com/PA/CUP_comments.html
