I really love Cal State LA so far as a freshman! They really care about the incoming students and they make a real effort to connect and make things real easy and understandable but hopefully, one thing they can work on is probably giving more details about specific classes that you have to take, but other than that its pretty awesome.
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.
Overall, it’s a great school! Near the San Gabriel Valley, it’s perfect for people residing in LA or in cities of the San Gabriel Valley. The professors are extraordinary and the environment is lively i fell.
