California State University - Northridge Reviews
Despite this, however, csun is a very mixed bag. Since we’re a commuter school there isn’t much school spirit and many people only come to class and go home. Plus, the admin and bureaucracy is super tedious & unorganized. If you apply yourself at csun you’re a big fish in a small pond, however, you’ll be surrounded by others in your own tight knit community on this huge campus! In my experience, CSUN is a great stepping stone, especially for First Gen students like myself!
Do they grade fairly?
Are the course materials going to keep students interested?
I can truthfully say that the professors at Cal State university Northridge pass these questions with flying colors. I always had a strong bond with my professors at CSUN because of their welcoming attitude. CSUN is very affordable and diverse campus. They offer a myriad of scholarships just in case you need some extra funds. I personally applied for and won a scholarship at CSUN! Furthermore, the campus is very nice. From the performance art center, Student Rec center, Orange Grove, Oasis Wellness Center. There is a lot of ground to cover and green scenery to marvel at. They also have a great place to eat called Arbor Grill which has spacious outside seating.
CSUN is a pleasant environment I would recommend to anyone!
