I am a sophomore in Cal State La! I'm majoring in nursing. What I like about cal state la is that there is always opportunities for anyone and everyone. The nursing program is very competitive as everyone may assume, but the nursing program is worth it. The campus feels very homey and comfortable, I feel very safe and as I belong! In Cal State La you will see and meet different people all different in their own way and that's what I like the diversity it has.
I started at CSULA right after I graduated high school. I found a place 10 min away from campus . I lived out in LA for two years and then moved back home . Although I moved back Home , I stayed at cal state la. The school offers resources that have helped me get through my classes. Such as the writing center . Where tutors help me develop ideas for writing 15 page papers for my major! I am also very close to most of my professors. It feels good when they see me on campus and know my name. I have also been a part of EOP. EOP has provided workshops about financial aid, healthy eating & many more.
Overall, Cal State LA (CSULA) is a very excellent university to study for either your undergraduate or graduate years. I find that CSULA is very safety-conscious, maintains an excellent campus environment and student life, and hires very impressive and motivated professors who instill knowledge and their own passions into the students they teach. However, if there are two aspects that I would like to see CSULA improve on, they would be the local area and campus food. I would appreciate it if there were interesting activities to participate in in the local area and if there was a much bigger variety of healthy food choices aside from the food trucks and the food court. However, I find Cal State LA to be an overall spectacular university to study at, and I would recommend it to any graduate or undergraduate!
