Honestly, the people. Everyone is not only warm and welcoming, but extremely intellegent. It makes classes so much more intresting when everyone is able to contribute to the conversation and develop their own theories on topics.

The campus is very large, one of the largest in California, and offers many resorces. The size of the campus also allows for many job opportunities. The students and teachers are diverse in culture and religion and welcome students from all over the world.

There is a well developed diversity among students on my campus. Here at Long Beach State, there is no majority race but rather, a melting-pot consisting of various differing students from different racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. I believe that this strong sense of diversity is a stepping stone for closeness among students of all different backgrounds. I feel that my fellow peers accept each other with an open-mind and judgement free because of the multitude of differences among us. Because we are all so diverse, the one thing that instantly brings us closer is our school pride!

at first, i didn't wanna go to this school. i felt like i was gonna be a loser for going here instead of a certain private school which will remain unnamed. yea, the school's got some serious issues, but to be completely honest, i am so glad i came here instead of the private school.

CSULB is very diverse. There are tons of different cultural, ethnic, and religious groups on campus. Every group has an opportunity to communicate their beliefs and values without discrimination.

Cal State Long Beach was really the only school which I considered, however, I feel it is unique in the sense that it is truly focused on education. Students here seem to strive to get the best out of their education, and not so distracted by social activities.
Lauren
It is not a big party school so I was able to stay focused on my grades more.

To begin, Long Beach State, unlike my other choices from all across this state, has many unique aesthetic properties such as a pyramid, 2 water towers, and a bell tower with no bell (speakers). Visuals aside, this campus was the perfect distance from home that it has allowed me to grow and learn as an individual on my own, but also close enough that in the case I do need something, I have the option of returning home. This campus also has incredible surroundings such as the beach, downtown, and many popular attractions.
