California State University-Long Beach Top Questions

I wish that I had known to utilize all of the student services available on campus before I came to California State University Long Beach. The school provides these resourses to assist students in all aspects of their education and career goals.

Before I came to this school, I wish I had known what I wanted to do with a business major . I came to CSULB thinking if I should change my major. When applying to this school, I chose business as my major because I love the idea of marketing and financing. I thought to myself, I will just stick to it since I have an interest in this field. However, it will only take a matter of time to determine what I really want to pursue with a business major because CSULB has a pretty good business program.

I would have liked to have known that there was a shuttle system during my freshman year. Parking is very far from the classrooms. It would sometimes take me 15 to 20 minutes walking to get to class with all my materials on hand. The shuttle service is something I found out about later in and it was more convinient. Aside from this I would have liked to have known of the escort service offered in the evening. I had often had to walk to my car alone and at night.

There is no hurry, these are going to be the best four years, or 6 for some, in your life. Try your best and never give up on yourself. Don't worry and have the time of your life. It's college!

I wish somebody would have told me that books that are not the current edition of what the class is using are still relevant and can be used in class. Instead of using the current 6th edition I can use the 5th edition, it is about a quarter of the cost and the information is the same.
