California State University-Northridge Top Questions

With the budgets recently, Northridge has struggled to keep itself organized. The classes is a great variety, but at times can be cut or taken away. The career center was not as helpful compared to the career center I had in high school. Finding a job, even with work study, seemed impossible. I applied everywhere and did not really get one interview at all. The career center's portal was very confusing and hard to understand how to get around.

I consider the city atmosphere the least favorable thing about the school. There always seems to be the same unfortunate amount of traffic on the roads, and there are many turn pockets onto highways or freeways that back up traffic. I don't enjoy the constant fast-paced motion of the city, and would much rather have a slow, mellow area surrounding the school.

RUDE PEOPLE! If I call to ask a question to just about any department, I talk to rude people that talk to me like I'm stupid and waisting their time. Students and staff alike.

I consider worst thing about school are their appotiment with students, Its can be weeks later. You must make an appotiment right away if you need something as soon as possible. The first week of school, When we buy books and supplies, it is worst because too many people are there. It is incredible long line of people waiting to buy their books and supplies. So my advices for you is get books and supplies ahead of time before you start attending to college.

there happens to be nothing about my school that might be bad, because everything is in good order, yet the only thing is as said earlier the lines that cause frustruation but that is basically it, other than that my school is in good standing!

The worst thing about CSUN is that there aren't enough dorms for incoming freshmen. I applied for dorms but only made it onto the waiting list. Although there are different ways to get to school, the bad thing is that I live two hours away from school. And although, taking four buses for two hours sounds harsh, the worst part is that I have a 7a.m. class everyday. In order to get to class on time I must wake up at 4a.m. If the school had more dorms available then it would be more convinient for me.

The worst thing about my school is the weather. Its too hot. Specially if you have sensitive skin.

I don't think they prepare you enough for graduate school as they should. Unless you're constantly asking professors and/or advisors, you would never know what to expect or how to get accepted into a graduate program.

i really dont know it is going to be my first year attending csun, but i see it as a very interesting and very student friendly and learning environment.

The availability of classes in general.
