The campus is dynamic in the type of people that choose to study here. There are international students, a wide range in student ages, and individuals from all walks of life. I believe there is a LGBT club on campus, there is also christian clubs, and many other on campus clubs that are usually free to join.
In my own experience I have felt left out of some opportunities, scholarships and programs due my race, which is beyond frustrating.
The style of clothing varies by major, for instance kinesiology majors are more likely to wear workout clothes (due to the required PE classes), Biology majors are more likely to wear close toed shoes (a requirement in all labs), and engineering majors are more likely to wear pocket protectors (only kidding). I would venture to say that sandals are the most common type of footwear as we are in southern California.
At first I couldn't imagine what a student that felt out of place at CSUF would be like, then I remembered how out of place I felt my first few weeks. So a student that would feel out of place here would be a freshman, thats the only kind of student I can imagine that would feel out of place. I have had classes with pregnant women, blind individuals, severely disabled individuals, and even seen a very attractive male amputee.
The political science majors are very aware and quite active, three of my sorority sisters had job offers out of college and two moved to Washington D.C. The non-polisci majors, now I am not sure how aware or active they all are, not because it's a muted topic but because I do not pay much attention. So clearly I am not politically active. Also I am not very aware, because I couldn't tell where on the political line most of the student body stands, left, right or center.
A lot of students work and go to class full time. It is incredible and inspiring to see a person so whole heartedly go after their dreams. I have had multiple classes with women who are mothers of young children, work, and go to school, they are unbelievable and I wish I could emulate their drive and balance in my own life.

This campus has a wide variety of personalities compressed into one city block. There's a bounty of foreign students studying here from the Middle East and Europe (Sweden/Germany Yes, VERY ATTRACTIVE) so I absolutely love the students. If you're lonely you can strike up a conversation with anyone waiting for a class. The people here are amazing goodhearted Orange county folk (lots of Asians too). I love the people that make up this school.

There is a diverse student population at Cal State Fullerton, and I think every type of student would fit in and find their niche. Student clothing differs drastically, and students wear anything from pajamas to business suits to class. Whatever you are comfortable in works for us! The majority of students are from the Southern California region, but there is an increasing population of students coming from afar to attend Cal State Fullerton.

A lot keep to themselves if they don't know you, however it depends on your major.
