My experience in going to CSULA was completely eye-opening and definitely gave me a change of heart. When getting rejected and waitlisted by my other options, it became detrimental to my mental state and discouraged me because I did not get into my top five schools. My first day of school was so exhilarating because of how welcoming students and faculty were; suddenly it changed my aspect of this school. I absolutely love the environment of CSULA, it gives a sense of individuality, simplicity, and diversity; it gives a physical sense of belonging. What I love most about campus is when the farmers market is stationed right at the main walkway along with canopy's that preview what El Mercadito would look like. Overall, this school is my home now, Go Eagles!
Last spring semester, I had Chem 1040 with Professor Kimo Yap. Only 8 out of 68 students had at least a C grade according to the CSULA Grade Distribution Report. The average gpa was only 0.92! A classmate and I asked Prof Kimo Yap for help once and he refused to answer our questions. He told us that he covered that topic in his lecture. We attended that lecture but we were asking for help and he would not answer our questions. At the start of this semester, a complaint was made to the Science College Dean, however, Prof Kimo Yap is scheduled to teach this class again next spring. My other professors have been very good.
I enjoy my school! However the campus is dated, meaning during our hot summers, the AC doesn’t work. Many of the restrooms have issues as well. Many of the teachers are excellent but there are also some that aren’t! As with anything, doing your research is important when choosing a teacher! Overall the school offers assistance with learning and any other help you need!
