California State University-Northridge Top Questions

I wish I had known how complicated it was to try and enroll in an upper-division class with only a small amount of openings and the university's inability to add another course in its stead.

Housing plans, and ways to recieve more money to afford school.

The dorms are nice, but they close the gates to them very early and it is really annoying, especially if you have a car. Parking is beyond horrible, so take early morning classes if you want to easily find a parking spot. Also, join something. That is where you will make the most friends.

I wish I would have known how good the school actually is. Cal State Northridge doesn't get the repsect that is deserves for being a quality high-end university. I decided to go to Northridge over UCLA and I am perfectly happy with that decision. I wish more people would have told me that Northridge is a top university in California and not just a "commuter" college as some refer it to. Cal State Northridge is a great school and people should not tell you otherwise.

Besides that, it was also very difficult trying to fix my schedule to one that was convinient for me. It's not easy to live 45 minutes away from your college. Those are the things that i wish people had told me before college.

I wish i had known more informations about scholarship opportinities and about the variety of schools that there were.I wish i had prepared myself more financially.
