California State University-Long Beach Top Questions

How heavily impacted all of the majors are and how difficult it is to attend. too many student and way way way way way way too little money

too much walking

CSULB is a commuter campus. There is a small percentage of people involved, and those people are involved in EVERYTHING! Everyone else just comes to class and goes home.

The atmosphere which inculdes the unmotivated student body and the suburban location of the school. It is a collection of commuters that are not connected to the school or community making the experience feel only one step above a high school.

IT"S HUGE! The only bad thing I can say about CSU Long BEach is that it's giant, and you pretty much have to walk a country mile to get to any class you're going to.

The worst thing about CSULB is the difficulty in getting into the school's nursing program. There are way to many students trying to get into the program, but not nearly enough room to take them all. In order to graduate when I originally expected to, I am taking two of the hardest undergraduate science courses this semester, and I wil be doing the same next semester. Not only that, but I basically need to have a 4.0 GPA in all four prequisite science courses to have a good chance of getting into the program.

The parking was hellish because it is a commuter school with most students coming from cities surrounding CSULB. Even after they built the new parking structure, it was still difficult to find convenient parking around 9am-3pm.

Too many people are enrolled here. It's hard to get the classes you want if you are a new student.

Parking! It may sound silly however the price of a parking pass continues to increase yet there are not enough spots to accomadate everyone. It seems a little silly to me. I understand and see the campus trying to take action by offering a free bus pass as well as off campus parking shuttles however they are not accpmadating to everyone.

My department is very small and it is hard to get the classes I need.
