My only problem with Cal State Northridge is that, sometimes they hire professors that teaches well, and meet the standards to teach. However, sometimes CSUN hires professors that needs a lot of work with their teaching skills. This is important because students pay for their tuition, and deserves quality classes/lectures.
For example, a professor I recently had for Math statistics that clearly have an accent that the whole class cannot be understand (or at least hear), and a writing that can't be read. This really affected my grades, and more than 50% of the class failed, leaving the professor with negative comments and bad evaluation.
On the other hand, CSUN is an awesome campus with peaceful atmosphere. Students are friendly. The campus completely stopped the smoking cigarette problem. And as an athlete, the gym is truly amazing!

I start School this fall but I'm currently enrolled into the early start program, this summer. I feel that it is very resourceful! In terms of the people who are willing to help you. As well as, the diverse students attending and I believe that it encourages people to become a lot more open-minded. That is crucial to learning both educationally and socially because once it guides everyone enrolled there to spread that positive experience in other places outside the campus. Personally, it's a great school so far and I cannot wait to start!
I'm in the middle of my second semester here at CSUN and so far, I love it! All of my professors are intriguing, throughout provoking people who really want everybody to do well in their classes. Something I've noticed and really love about this school is that it is perfect for introverts and extroverts. I see people mingling outside all day from my quiet little nook in the library, and that is just awesome. Everybody has what they enjoy and they are fulfilled in that at CSUN.
