I am currently a junior at CSULA. Although my time on campus has been limited due to COVID-19, I got a pretty good sense about the campus and the environments there. The clubs are super welcoming, the food options are great, & the EOP (equal opportunities program) is an AMAZING program that I feel super grateful to be a part of. They’ve made my college experience so much easier! Overall CSULA is a really easy going college campus that isn’t too stressful , but maintains its 4 year responsibilities in student development.
I loved the community feeling, you can quickly get involved in what you love the most from volunteering, internships, and research sites. Don't be afraid to ask for help, most of the faculty and students will be happy to guide you! This is an amazing school if you want to diversify yourself and expand your college resume. In addition, the programs are challenging and the professors truly want to see you succeed.
I loved Cal State LA. I went there from 2019-2021, during the pandemic, and I felt valued and supported the whole time. My professors were fantastic and if they had offered the Grad program I was interested in I would have gladly stayed. I was a psychology major and the biggest complaint I had at the time is that my classes were at opposite ends of the campus. But, it was great exercise and kept me in shape. The campus was under constant construction; new buildings, new dorms, new facilities will make the Cal State LA experience even better. The most wonderful part of my whole college experience was the campus culture. It was the most diverse, multicultural place I had ever been. It has a very progressive atmosphere that mixed in a unique and powerful way with the traditional college culture of Fraternities, sororities, honor societies, and clubs. It felt exactly how college should feel; eye-opening and full of possibilities.
